Reply #142: making it personal again [View All]

[Rich Hunt]

Here's a hint: no one CARES enough about you to actually persecute you. We do care about the church whose pope calls a loving committed relationship between two members of the same sex "an intrinsic evil".

You're making it personal again. I disagree with the pope. I no longer go to church. However, I am also aware of the vindictive, backstabbing attitudes that some Protestants (most of whom support Republican or conservative Democrat types) hold against Catholics. Why? Because these tactics were used to hunt my own family like dogs. You can falsely claim that me and my family were never persecuted. That is at best an unsubstantiated claim that undermines your credibility as a disinterested and civil participant in these Catholic threads. Again, substantiate or retract - but please don't let me ever catch you invoking the concept of logic in your so-called "arguments".

Nor is nativism a "lie". Care to draw from your undoubtedly vast educational background and show me some proof that it's a lie? Because that's a documented historical fact. And some people would like to have the crimes committed in nativism's name buried forever.

I am suspicious of those who deny that these Catholic threads are often a staging point for something else entirely. This thread is supposed to be about some bishops hiring a "lobbyist". A pity I've read precious little about that here.

Disingenousness is easy to spot, I'm afraid.
