Mack, I posted this thread. I am not trying to get anyone banned. I found it an interesting essay and I like the author as well. Most of us have posted essays by Rod Dreher, he is intelligent and well-spoken.
It seems that the "rapture" theory attracts and repels across all religious beliefs, Catholic and non-Catholic. It singles out no one, nor was my reason for posting it meant to.
I don't believe you're a part of the underground Catholic kabal on FR, and believe your intent is good, I have no problems with talking about what we believe, I do have a problem with others bating others for the intention of getting them banned. And if you think that is not going on here, ya haven't been paying attention.
