Knock it off.

If anyone dares to disagree with you, you call them viscious names, and denounce them as scum, haters, etc.

If there were an ignore list on this forum, you would be the first on it.

Instead of attacking your fellow posters, you should be working to clean up the Catholic Church, which is infected by pedophilia, which clearly the Pope has chosen to ignore, hoping it will just go away.

The rampant homosexuality in the Priesthood is much worse a problem than allowing Tony Blair to take communion. (But on consideration prompted by a very nice poster--not you of course--I do agree that non-Catholics should have respect and not take communion)

And your hate clearly clouds everything and everyting you say.

Stop acting like a poster from DU.

Sorry, I have gotten over-upset about this. I know someone who was abused by a Priest. I don't (nor does he) hold it against the Church, but what the Church has allowed itself to become--a haven for homosexuals who are often pedophiles.

I want the Catholic Church to become what it once was. And in that, I do agree that traditions must be followed.

I just think that there are priorities. I just happen to be more offended by homosexuality in the Church than communion partaken by non-Catholics because I think one causes much more destruction and pain than the other.

So, lets call a truce.

Yes. Things can get heated sometimes, and I, of course, am the only one who ever keeps a cool head {/sarcasm}

Water under the bridge, as they say. :)

Oh, and I'm widely known as a PLAYER-hater.

Though I guess that counts as a hater.
