When will some of us ever stop throwing stones at other people? Fred Noronha wants to know why some of us don't contribute to this forum. I have a different question: Why don't some of us, who cannot argue reasonably and civilly, just shut up?
Regards to one and all, even the stonethrowiers---

George,
You, too, need to relax and let me find out the official reasons, if
any, before continuing
this drumbeat of accusations.
Do not assume because you do not know the "official reasons" that others like me
are ignorant
about this topic and are simply making accusations. All the fancy latin phrases
and "doctrinal &
theological" reasons are not convincing. But do not let me stop you from your
own education in
these matters.
Since when did you become such an expert on Catholic doctrine and
practice that
you "know" everything with such certainty?
As I have mentioned before, I know very little, I am an expert on nothing, and
have never claimed
to know everything (or anything) with certainty. I am happy to be corrected
with facts, logical
arguments and hope to learn something. Eventually I hope to impress my
neighbor's dog as no one
else is impressed. It should not be too difficult as the dog does not seem to
know what is going
on most of the time and I think I can fool it.
If your mind is closed, that is quite another matter.
Just this morning I tried to open my mind but it started to rain and I did not
want it to get wet.
I will try again tomorrow but the weather people have predicted sunshine.
However, like the
Vatican higher-ups, they have been known to be wrong before.
Regards, George
