"So you charge Pope Pius IX with so-called "theological anti-Semitism"

Since a certain dear soul FReeper-Who-Cannot-Be-Named has instructed me to to post no more --- (and -- sniff--- how rejected I feel!) --- I must note that you and I, vet, have both been charged with saying things we did not say. And even charged with saying things we explicitly rejected.

I take this as a sign that "confirmation bias" LINK is a real and powerful force. I also take it as a warning that I should examine my own aggravating biases on a frequent basis to make sure I am not doing the same.

We all do share a flawed human nature, don't we?

But the Lord is good, and will help us.

O - O - O - O, Happy fourth day of the O Antiphons!

"Key of David, and scepter of the house of Israel, who opens and no man shuts, who shuts and no man opens: come, and bring forth the captive from his prison, he who sits in darkness and in the shadow of death."

O CLAVIS DAVID!

Yes; the LORD graces us and puts love in our hearts, when we cooperate, to work out our salvation; the two commandments are about love and sum up our entire duty.
