[Having already descended to referring to murphE’s restatement of the Church’s position as his ‘opinion,’ a debate ploy more at home at Daily Kos or DU than here, you resort to the despicable, loathsome, and puerile “lmao” as a substitute for an argument you weren’t up to making.]

I have a life and was busy, I actually intended to respond to the other poster when I had the time. Not that you and your personal insults deserve an "explanation", because you don't.

[I’m not really surprised by this. After all, as a young priest, John Paul II managed not only to survive, but to thrive under the Communists. I think it highly unlikely that his thinking was not to some extent, however slight, affected either by Communism or his (presumed) struggle against it.]

I actually think that is one of the stupidest comments I've ever had the unfortunate chance to read on FR.

When I get around to it, you may want to check out my response to the other poster re doctrine, Council of Trent, etc.

[LisaFab then cited the CCC, which should pretty much have ended the argument with the conclusion that John Paul II and those who agree with him are just simply wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Mistaken as to fact, and the application of reason to such facts as do exist. Demonstrably, egregiously in error.]

Wrong, wrong, wrong, lol?? You lost me with that "logic". The Catechism shows that John Paul II and those that agree with him are wrong?

[The only way to show that we regard the proscription against murder with adequate gravity is to levy the ultimate punishment. Otherwise, the evil know that we’re just not serious about it.]

Your post gives credence to the premise that human beings are just too stupid to be given the power to snuff out the life of other human beings regardless of their vocabulary, lol.

“Not that you and your personal insults deserve an "explanation", because you don't.”

Says the person who responds to comments about his *arguments* with genuine personal insults.

“I actually think that is one of the stupidest comments I've ever had the unfortunate chance to read on FR.”

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle left us with a deep and valuable insight when he wrote, “Mediocrity knows nothing better than itself.” This explains why we so often see those of mediocre intellect slinging charges of stupidity about when they are unable to keep up with the discussion.

“You lost me with that "logic".”

That, unfortunately, would appear to be no great feat.

“The Catechism shows that John Paul II and those that agree with him are wrong?”

Yup. Sorry that you couldn’t keep up.

“Your post gives credence to the premise that human beings are just too stupid”

See comment above re Sir Arthur.
