Make sure are absolutely clear, unless you call GeronL on this lie right now I will throw this up in your face EVERY single time you dare to say a single word about facts. You are showing cowardice and hypocrisy.

You are bearing False witness by refusing to stand up for the truth of the Catholic Church

Verga, please stop pinging me.

I am not participating in this thread.

verga:

I am going to assume that you pinged me informationally rather than requiring that I answer GeronL's post (from what I can gather) at #57. I am certainly willing to respond to it nonetheless. I suspect that this was between you and wintertime. I created a lengthy and reasonably scholarly response to GeronL and old fumblefingers (moi) managed to lose the entire post AS I tried to post it. I will recreate it in shorter form and ping you. I also don't really think that ANY competent education (public, private, homeschool, whatever) teaches that ANY emperor or other secular leader "crowned himself" pope EVER.

wintertime:

I don't presume to give you a hard time for being IIRC an EX-Catholic. The United States of America is still somewhat a free country, thank God, and your choices are your choices. OTOH, it is not really necessary to re-fight the Thirty Years' War at every opportunity. This IS a conservative website and we are a lot better off being able to ally with one another across denominational lines than helping the left by unnecessarily wrasslin' with one another.

GeronL:

My reconstructed response to your #57 is coming soon. I usually agree with you on virtually everything OTHER than our respective flavors of Christianity.
