I CAN insist that Catholics who vote for Democrats are stupid Catholics.
It is not a defect in Catholic teaching that some people think they can get into heaven on a pro forma basis. If they rattle off an act of contrition without being or wanting to be contrite, they are deceiving themselves and playing with fire.
My ‘beef’ is that you opposed good non-Catholic thought not to good Catholic thought but to the corruption of our thought by ‘tares.’
You do have the right to make stupid unjust comparisons. You do not have a reasonable expectation of respect for your arguments if you do so.
Of course I do. So do you and so does anyone else who wishes to comment on open forum threads. I believe the "stupid" and "unjust" comparisons probably only seem that way to those who may hold the opposite view. When I make comments I DO put thought into them and, whether you want to believe it or not, I sincerely care about not only what I say but who may read it.
