I am not actually calling you thinskinned, just noticing it.

The symptoms are complaining and not engaging in reasoned debate.

No it's not a cover word, what you see is what you get.

What do you think I would want to say that I would cover up with noticing thinskinned behavior?

I haven't a clue.

I'm just a poster at FR and have no power.

l did climb on to the titanic and go to the bow and yell “I am the King of The World” but I don't think that gives me any power here.

VP sounds good though, could you put in a word for me???

I'm quite involved in activism, through Free Republic and other venues.

Of course I realize what is going on in the world, I know there are some of your colleagues who say we only are here to cause problems for Catholics and don't get involved in other threads, but that is not true.

Couldn't be further from the truth, but lots of straw men are thrown up, especially on long threads like this one.

some of the adjectives used to describe Jesus and Our Lady, and the Catholic Church on this forum, are not good.No born again Christians on Free Republic would every use bad adjectives to describe Jesus. Can you link me to some examples or else state that that statement isn't true?

As far as "Our Lady" well if Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, is lifted up higher that Jesus created her to be, yes you will find some will dispute that "veneration" as un Biblical.

The Catholic dogma/beliefs are disputed by those that disagree with them. Nothing wrong with that.

If you have seen some unseemly really bad adjectives directed pointedly to Mary or Catholicism, please link them.

. I do not disrespect other Christian faiths; I feel Catholicism is a more complete

Interesting. Catholicism COMPLETELY disrespects ALL other denominations by simply stating that only Catholicism is the One True Church, and anyone that doesn't follow it and the dictates of the pope can not have salvation.

Quite in complete contradiction to what Jesus and the Bible says.

So is that the "more complete" faith you adore so much?? To deny there are other Christians outside the Catholic denomination.

As far as this post, I know of no other dogma...regarding the Assumption than the one declared by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

Well my goodness mlizzy read the text of the thread!

Your last two sentences are absurd. Stop taking this to such a personal level, that's thinskinned...

I wasn't clear on this. The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket (which we see on Free Republic), so those of us who aren't right with God (via junk commentary), could be in a bad place with no time to ask forgiveness. Negative way to look at things, I know, but we should always be "ready" to go.

Maybe this is helpful:

"The issue here is Pope Gelasius (this decree is also attributed to Pope Damasus) condemned a long list of books as heretical, including one called "the Assumption of holy Mary." The decree doesn't say specifically what is heretical about the books listed. For example, another book in the list is called "the Infancy of the Savior." Obviously the idea that Jesus was an infant is not what made the book problematic, but there must have been some other heretical stuff in the book--same with the book on the Assumption. This decree was later reaffirmed by Pope Hormisdas. Here is the decree in question:" -Genesis 315
