Since you seem to be in generous state of mind, I'll risk another faux pas and ask why you participate in some of these threads since so often they deteriorate into a verbal bar room brawls?

Nonsense. I am as contentious as a woman with PMS, no chocolate and a husband.

The short answer is that I have learned tremendously here on these threads, and am grateful to JR for providing this forum. The Orthodox have schooled me extremely well, and I have found out so much about the Faith simply by engaging antiCatholics of all stripes. The strong and orthodox Catholics here have also provided much fine and in depth isntruction.

I also find out about the children of the Reformation and their development. For instance, I learned about William Seymour and the Azusa street crazies tonight.

I find the eye gouging a real put off. I had to ask.

Sometimes the spitting and hateful catfights are a tad unappetizing, I agree.

Me too, thanks to you. And for years I lived a block away from a loud Pentecostal Church. I didn't realize they trace their lineage all the way back to 1914. :)

O.K., I’m gone for a while. Thanks.
