Perhaps you were. Let's clarify. Are you saying that Church Tradition and Papal Infallibility are garbage, or did I miss something?
I don't think that you were to cryptic for him. I think that he understood you perfectly, and then pointed out that from your comments you appeared (in his opinion) to have no idea of what you were talking about (or, I think I can infer, no idea outside of what you picked up from some Jack Chick comic books...)
At least that's the impression that I got from his response to you. I could be wrong, but his reponse seemed pretty straightforward...
