Not how, if Lynch's weasel words are to be taken seriously, homosexual partners do NOT have to accept that sodomy is a sin. They only have to accept that sodomy is not a SACRAMENT in order to enjoy "full participation in the life of the Church." I.e., reception of Communion.

Good point I missed that entirely. I'm really disappointed in this bishop.

It's an occasion for me to remember that my ultimate hope and trust is not placed in only a man or men but in Jesus. Even as Catholics we are called to this. Despite protestations to the contrary from others (pun intended) it's still true as Catholics we are to focus on Christ because men will always fail us, since they aren't God.

I’m glad to hear you weren’t yelling at me. It’s unfortunate though that you felt the need to use the fact that I took it that way to use it against me in the future.

“One small misplaced word on my own part (the word was “it”) and it leads to talk of rash and fungus — right after you accused me of making things up “out of thin air”???”

You seem to have an INCREDIBLY short memory. I wasn’t posting to you at all in the thread until you posted to me in post # 26. And what was you VERY FIRST COMMENT TO ME IN THE THREAD? This: “do you loudly shout out the name, you know, like a Tourette’s syndrome sufferer involuntarily, and with no warning to others, quite suddenly YELLS?”

Hypocrisy. You own it.

Okay.

“It’s unfortunate though that you felt the need to use the fact that I took it that way to use it against me in the future.”

No, it’s not unfortunate, nor did I feel a need “to use it against” you. My choice to do so is not your assumption of my supposed need to do so (which doesn’t exist). Maybe you just need to lighten up.

Your position is illogical.

“Your position is illogical.”

Not only is it not illogical, it isn’t hypocritical. You can’t honestly say the same for your own.

I WASN’T YELLING AT YOU BY USING CAPS. I WILL, HOWEVER, DO IT MORE OFTEN NOW.

Since you say I was wrong in my interpretation of this comment, please do explain what you did mean.

“Since you say I was wrong in my interpretation of this comment, please do explain what you did mean.”

Read the sentence again: “That’s how I know he didn’t do it BEFORE THE LATEST TWO PINGS. Any other questions?”

Why do you think I used caps?

Nice deflection. I asked you to explain the post you made to me in post #22:

I WASN’T YELLING AT YOU BY USING CAPS. I WILL, HOWEVER, DO IT MORE OFTEN NOW.

Why did you say you will do it more often now?

Why do you think? Seriously, this isn’t hard. Why do you think?

Keep on deflecting there. Admit it. You just don’t want to answer it. Because what I said the first time was actually correct.

I bet you were stomping your feet when you said it too.

“You just don’t want to answer it.”

No, I don’t. I want you to do it.

“Because what I said the first time was actually correct.”

No, actually not. But, man-o-man, have I been enjoying watching you wind yourself up over nothing.

“I bet you were stomping your feet when you said it too.”

Nope. But I have been laughing out loud at you the whole time. You’re so easily tweaked. You apparently take yourself so seriously.

Get it yet? Why would I have used caps originally and why would I tell you I would do it more often since? WHY?

Oh I got it. You are a master at deflection and act like a child.

Goodbye.

It’s so obvious and you can’t figure it out.

“Goodbye.”

Well, I succeeded in my task nonetheless.

You apparently can’t stop posting to me even when you say “Goodbye”.
