This is so odd… "vow of humility and poverty, while getting your ring kissed, wearing the most expensive outfits, living in the most luxurious home, surrounded by golden artifacts, and servants for everything, telling everybody else how to live a righteous life of service…" It seems Jim S pointed out to you that it was a jibe at him over the pun on the word Bull, so you can't be serious. I know Catholicism is not void of Paupal humor. Since several members of my family and many personal friends are Catholic, I know the general community to be quite light hearted. Noppp, this got personal with you in a quick and powerful way. Hmmmm perhaps you were waiting for such an opportunity. In any event, you can't seriously play like you or the Catholic religion was under serious attack. Especially since I owned the comment I made and admitted to being out of line. Of course there was some truth in the observation which gives it kind of a sarcastic sting, so perhaps you need to get more comfortable with whatever that is. "was being naughty, I hope both you and C forgive my little lapse into self endulgance.... Was that a sin?" Message 22816349 Maybe taking responsibility for one's error in attempts at humor does not merit forgiveness in your interpretation of all things religious. Or maybe a direct apology does not. "Sorry if I offended you too. The popes seem like good men." Message 22816245 It could be that you simply enjoy holding onto things or that you value an opportunity to exact some vengeance. Of course forgiveness is your choice, and you may have yet another explanation for why you attach some association with my jibing of the pope to your chain bashing posts, or not. Even more odd is this… "…like to bring up the sexual abuse scandals as a critique of the Catholic Church. One of those "walks like a duck" things. It has been my habit to bring up current events especially the controversial ones from all categories of news. Just what exactly is it that makes this topic forbidden to non-Catholics. Maybe critiques of all things catholic are forbidden, by you. Certainly not by the God recognized by most Catholics. Please make a list of all things I am not permitted to express opinions about, due to whatever brand of human you imagine me t'be, and I will take that under consideration, cause I'm a considerate kinda guy.
