You are much better at ascribing motives and judging souls than apologetics, CatholicGuy.
From your profile page:
Thanks be to God, I am Catholic. At one time I had one foot in schism and I credit my wife's conversion to the Faith with helping me to return to Ecclesiastical sanity
While you had your foot in schism, were you yourself trying to assure any Reunion tween schismatics and Rome is a stillbirth???
When you credit my wife's conversion to the Faith with helping me to return to Ecclesiastical sanity did those who aided you in your return use the same insulting and judgemental tactics as you use here, or were they gentle, patient, kind and charitable?
Did your wife and her mentors accuse you of trying to assure any Reunion tween schismatics and Rome is a stillbirth???
If they had, would that have been fair to you at the time, you who at the time were simply searching for honest answers to difficult questions and scandals and lack of catechesis that you could not comprehend?
Look in the mirror at yourself back then.
There you will see narses and the others you scorn here.
Were those who aided you as uncharitable with you and as impatient with you and as judgemental and ascribing motives as you?
I doubt it.
As I said, grow up.
You've received better from those who helped you out of schismatic thought than you are willing to dish out here to others in the same place you were then.
Charity in all things, CatholicGuy, especially when you're trying to bring home souls.
While you had your foot in schism, were you yourself trying to assure any Reunion tween schismatics and Rome is a stillbirth???
Like many in that self-willed movement, and I was just on the fringes of it, I tought private judgement about "Tradition" was permissible.
When you credit my wife's conversion to the Faith with helping me to return to Ecclesiastical sanity did those who aided you in your return use the same insulting and judgemental tactics as you use here, or were they gentle, patient, kind and charitable? I read myself back to sanity. I give as good as I get and I am defending the faith against unjust, unfair, inane, and bizarre attacks. I notice that you ascribe foul motives to those that defend the Pope and The Magisterium while profferring excuses for those that attack Pope and Magisterium
your wife and her mentors accuse you of trying to assure any Reunion tween schismatics and Rome is a stillbirth? They are not as adept with the language as I am
they had, would that have been fair to you at the time, you who at the time were simply searching for honest answers to difficult questions and scandals and lack of catechesis that you could not comprehend?
Now, you are the one making assumptions and ascribing motives. The problem lies in the will, not the intellect.
Look in the mirror at yourself back then. I have. I never resented the opposition I recieved. I expected to have others come back at me as hard as I went at them. I am a man.
There you will see narses and the others you scorn here. i am glad we are in agreement that he is not in union with Rome. But, why is it ok for you to note that but if I do, I am judgemental?
Were those who aided you as uncharitable with you and as impatient with you and as judgemental and ascribing motives as you? LOL That content of that sentence contains within it the very thing you supposedly reject.
I doubt it. You are so woried about "feelings." As I say, my skin is as think as Roseanne Barr's ass is large. I expect to get as good as I give. I am a man
As I said, grow up. I am not the one whining. I withstand folks to their face and I have no hidden agendas. THAT is how an adult man operates; at least the ones I know and respect. You've received better from those who helped you out of schismatic thought than you are willing to dish out here to others in the same place you were then. You have NO idea of how it is I pulled back from the brink. I was able to through prayring the Rosary and reading for myself the authentic Catholic Documents and texts the schismatic liars falsified.
Charity in all things, CatholicGuy, especially when you're trying to bring home souls. You are wsting your breath on me, Poly. I have repeatedly said what it is I consider to be my bailiwick. I am here to defend the Faith. If you are here for another reaasson, fine. But, your goals are not normative. You are free to act as you desire and you can caress and commiserate with those that attack the Faith even while you condemn and criticise those that Defend the Faith. I know that for some, that is considered virtue. I just find it an incomprehensible confusion
