The phrase
were initially your own words -- not his.
But way to go, put words in his mouth... as the above exemplifies.
What he did say in reply to your own initial use of that phrase was more complete -- and on point, too
for it is you who has said here on this thread;
It does appear to me that you consistently keep wanting to have things both ways, while also tossing off little holy hand grenade dismissive insult towards "Protestants" in general, all along the way.
Is this the "mind of the church" you keep speaking of? If so, what a mess of a mind.
But the above technique of yours I've flagged here for attention, is demonstrative your own practice of selectively clipping sentences into fragments, extracted from that which others write, which quotation by way of truncation can include implying others said those words as expressed by sentence fragment (rather than their more complete thoughts expressed) forming reply of your own to those fragments, as if those snippets be representative of their "mind", all done while affecting some pretense yourself that you yourself express the "mind of the church".
Not the "Rome" part. I said something about the prosecutorial attitude of many Protestants indeed, and in fact I was agreeing with you on that score. Did I quote Daniel incorrectly?
selectively clipping
I clip the part I am responding to, to the size sufficient to identify it in the post. You don't like my habits, post to someone else.
