“So tell us, how do you “feel” about the word “papist”?”
Should already be obvious from my previous posts.
“The general principles behind the term (neutrally considered) is much what is left over as to differences, after one gives Luther his due (as Ratzinger and others have done) then followed by considerations towards men such as (the late 16th century Anglican cleric) Hooker, who upheld there being necessity of Church as institution leaves the chief remaining additional difference be form of receptionism, which Ratzinger when speaking esoterically does not appear to hold great hostility towards.”
I have no idea of what you’re saying. Honestly, reading that paragraph - which was all one sentence - is like listening to a drunk. I rarely did that so I never got good at it. When you can put that in English let me know.
“The Anglican communions which “poped” were to be allowed to retain their own liturgy — correct?”
In general form, but with significant changes and much of it was originally drawn from Catholic liturgies in the first place.
“(Or has that too now changed?)”
No. You’re just wrong as usual. That won’t change either.
“So whattda’ do we really have for the more traditional “High Church” Anglicans who don’t go a-popeing, but differing view towards Holy Communion (as the Anglicans speak of such) and — no “pope” with that rejection being as much due to the accumulated theological baggage associated with the office — particularly as to extent “authority” should best apply.”
Again, I have no idea what you’re trying to say there. That was all one sentence and it really didn’t make any sense.
“The phrase “popeing” I’ve seen used by those who also talk about “swimming the Tiber”.”
Which would mean they were satirizing anti-Catholics. And apparently it works so well that those anti-Catholics don’t even know it.
“If anyone catches sight of people who on their travels to “Rome” (to go for a swim) perchance need cross over the River Swift on their way, have ‘em wave to Wycliffe for me, and tell him I said “hi” and “thanks for everything”.”
Again, I have no idea what you’re trying to say. Even though your comments here are nonsensical. this post was worth as much as any you’re written thus far.
Hmmm...curious...I understood everything BD said. Is this another overt attempt of yours to avoid a topic by asserting you have no idea what is being said or is it merely just another opportunity to insult, and you can’t let it pass you by? Perhaps an OPEN Religion Forum thread is not for you?
