The Religion Moderator told you not to make that statement, but in defiance of the stated rules and a personal admonishment by the RM to you in post 21, you repeat the remark.
You have no idea what I know or do not know about this priest.
This priest is one of the good guys
That is your opinion and you are entitled to it.
there is no basis whatsoever for claiming Rome is not trying to clean house with this appointment
There is tons of information that Rome refuses to clean house, not the least of which is the opinion offered by the author of this thread.
Which he is entitled to.
Kindly abide by the stated rules of the FR Religion Forum.
I'll do what I please, and the RM can do whatever he feels best. I call them as I see them, and I'm usually correct. I apologize when I'm wrong, which is obviously not the case this time, and which is something you never do.
And I'll never compromise the Truth simply to stay in a moderator's good graces or maintain internet forum posting privileges, thanks.
Kindly remember that you are not the religion moderator - we have one already, as you know. Its his job to moderate - not yours. If someone needs a warning, he will administer it. No need for anyone else to butt in.
So why not just let him do his job and stop trying to do it yourself, eh? Sound like a plan?
