So your little pea brain actually thinks a Mahoney and a Padre Pio have the same abilities? Mahoney may not give invalid Sacraments (I never said he did -- YOU said that) but he is absolutely incapable of conducting the Holy Spirit as Padre Pio did. Mahoney and his kind are dirty filters.

I never compared Mahony, even my pea brain knows how to spell it correctly, as a person to Padre Pio. My little pea brain knows about St. Augustine, St. Francis of Assisi, St Francis de Sales, Summa Theologica and the Donatists while your vacuous cranium denies a tenet of the Catholic faith and embraces heresy. Once again you wrote I've have heard that the Sacraments are valid even when the priest is not the most holy person. Personally, I have a difficult time believing this. You are ignorant and your faith is shallow and perhaps even nonexistent. You can think whatever you want but ask that priest after Mass next Sunday about the efficacy of the Sacraments being dependent upon the worthiness of the priest. Once he answers call him a pea brain too, you cretin.

Clearly, I missed some kind of knock-down drag out here to which I probably shouldn't have gotten involved.

I see no reason to respond in kind. Particularly where ignorance and emotion are the problem (and especially where someone's using filthy language and malicious attacks), probably better just to let the links lie.

Royalist cleaned my clock a time or two but never called me a cretin. Besides, he knew I was genuinely interested in being set in the fire, beaten flat, plunged into the water ... whatever it took to temper me.
