you said to piusv: I respect someone who is willing to see the past and call it for what it is.
I did exactly that:
“I’d have some respect for the Protestant who would admit the truth: No pope, no council, ever in the history of the Church advocated or authorized the sale of indulgences. It was a clear violation of canon law. I would have more respect for the popes and councils of that time if they did a better job of disciplining those unscrupulous men who sold indulgences. But as it is, it looks like some Protestants on FR will insist that popes and councils did what no one has any record of them doing. As it is, there’s no way to go back in time and get popes and councils to better discipline unscrupulous men who sold indulgences. That situation wouldn’t get better until the Council of Trent.” http://freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3594481/posts?page=169#169
You still don’t see the difference between your reply and piusv’s.
