"No, thanks. I have better things to do with my time."

A reasonable person would ask that since you didn't bother to read Spe Salvi how could you possibly have concluded that Pope BXVI's writings were contrary to St. Paul? In any event, thank you for the evidence proving what we have always known. Those who hate or reject the Church do not need a reason and knowledge in a subject matter is not a requirement to opine, criticize and complain.

No, actually a "reasonable person" would know that I was responding to the snippet that you posted in which the former Pope gave his opinion on Romans 8:24. I realize that, when confronted with Scripture that contradicts what Pope's opine, some Catholics react in unreasonable ways because they criticize and complain whenever a non-Catholic Christian dares to suggest that it happens - not all that infrequently, I'm afraid.

Likewise; how could YOU 'conclude' that Boatbums came to the 'conclusion' you claimed?

I suppose one could also say...

Those who hate or reject the folks who are NOT part of the Church do not need a reason and knowledge in a subject matter is not a requirement to opine, criticize and complain.
