You didn't see yourself right there in the middling portions?
That was for you.
Altogether it was of more import than the defensiveness displayed in the "Luther chatted up the devil" type of misrepresentation of things which you engaged in -- done after accusing Elsie of "making things up" concerning a list of evil popes having taken their orders from the devil.
The brief notes of what those popes were noted for provide grounds for extrapolating they were much in the thrall of Satan.
“That was for you.”
Nope. If you were waxing poetic about Luther or sola scriptura or sola fide and other Protestant inventions it certainly wasn’t meant for me even if it was posted to me.
“Altogether it was of more import than the defensiveness displayed in the “Luther chatted up the devil” type of misrepresentation of things which you engaged in”
There was no defensiveness on my part but, of course, you’re free to imagine anything you wish. And from your posts I would think you imagine quite a bit.
“— done after accusing Elsie of “making things up” concerning a list of evil popes having taken their orders from the devil.”
Accusing? That’s the word you would use? You make it sound like Elsie actually has proof that the Devil gave orders to popes yet it has already been shown that Elsie can’t post any such thing and, of course, none in fact exists.
“The brief notes of what those popes were noted for provide grounds for extrapolating they were much in the thrall of Satan.”
Oh, I’m sure they were sinners. Aren’t you and I also sinners? But sinners are enthralled to sin more than to the tempter himself and that offers no proof of having received orders from the Devil. Temptation, and giving in to it, are one thing; a claim about people receiving orders from the Devil is another - and one that clearly will remain unsubstantiated like so many other anti-Catholic fantasies.
