Dear Catholicguy,

"Sitetest, would you agree to a pact with one who says all his acts are Kotex?"

If the evidence that I can see is that he seems trustworthy, yes.

In this case, I would certainly do so.

No matter how misguided I think that Steve is on certain points of doctrine (including whether or not his good works are all like filthy rags), his actions have shown him to be filled with grace and charity, and thus, I'm forced to conclude that he really is a separated brother, having the Holy Spirit in him through baptism.

He certainly isn't perfect. I've seen him allow posters get the better of him, and I've seen him fail to act with perfect charity. This includes toward you.

But usually, when Steve starts to lose it, he tries to walk away before he completely goes over the top. I wish more folks around here would follow that example (including me, once in a very great while ;-) ).

All in all, CG, if all posters acted half as well as Steve, things at FR would be immeasurably more pleasant, and those of us who disagree on important points of doctrine would be able to discuss them in ways which would shed more light than heat.
