Aaaaaahhhhh. Gotcha. :)

Well you didn't get me...I didn't write the stories...Numerous researchers into actual history revealed this stuff...Most of those people know that at least many of the writings of Ignatius are forgeries and some figure they are all forged...

Just like the rest of your religion's forged history...Even Catholics admit to that...

If I was a Catholic I'd seriously research this stuff to make sure I wasn't blindly following a false religion...

Er... I meant "gotcha" in the sense of "I now understand you"... not in the sense of "I've caught you doing [x]". Just for the record.

"Numerous"! "Most know that at least many"! "Some figure all"! I'm convinced; you've conquered me! :)

But seriously: do you have any idea how your comments sound? These comments sound like rhetorical hyperventilation! Yes, there have certainly been ancient documents which were attributed (innocently or deliberately) to the wrong people; that's not news. (Think of the nonsensical "Gospel of Thomas", for example.) But your comment portrays the situation as something akin to "the Catholic Church is responsible for all of the forgeries", aside from hyperinflating (at least by insinuation) the number of forgeries. It's a bit like someone hearing about a spy in the news, and thinking, "Gasp! How many spies ARE there? Maybe EVERYONE is a spy!"

Just like the rest of your religion's forged history...

Wow. Not much to say to that, except... "What on earth are you talking about?"

Even Catholics admit to that...

Outside of your nightmares, or just within them?

If I was a Catholic I'd seriously research this stuff to make sure I wasn't blindly following a false religion...

...and... this doesn't apply to Protestants and other anti-Catholic-Church people? Physician, heal thyself, FRiend... :)
