Let me ask you one question: Our Holy Father, John Paul II, overheard her say that, what do you think his response would be? If you think it would be like yours, then you don't know much about our Holy Father. Do you really think you think you are better than him? Why act that way?

Dear nickcarraway,
"Let me ask you one question: Our Holy Father, John Paul II, overheard her say that, what do you think his response would be? If you think it would be like yours, then you don't know much about our Holy Father. Do you really think you think you are better than him? Why act that way?"
I don't know what his response would be. It wouldn't be like my response. And I wouldn't have responded to goldenstategirl as Smedleybutler did. We're different people, and have different approaches.
I'd imagine that our Holy Father would be the most effective of us, that doesn't mean that we could readily adopt his style. And personally, I wouldn't try.
So, in general, I don't even consider the question appropriate.
I think that the relevant questions are whether what SB said was true, fair, and charitable.
He didn't call her (at least initially), a heretic. He said the opinion expressed was heresy. It is. He invited her to a link which would give a more complete explanation. That was both fair and charitable.
I just don't have a big problem here.
Sorry, nick, that's really how I see it. Sorry if you disagree.
