You play gotcha games with historical statements. That means you are acting like a lawyer.
When you go around take old 12 th century statements from a Pope you are lawyering it up my brother. Nowhere in the statement does it mean what you are trying to prove.
It is a general statement. It does not specifically say Daniel 1212 or Johngrace is going to hell.
Take for instant today's comparision. Billy Graham states at an event that if you believe in Jesus Christ you will have eternal life. Nowhere is he saying that Daniel1212 or Johngrace is going to Hell. Nor will you find Billy Graham or the Pope use a specific name to say someone went there. It is General statement to learn from in the Holy Spirit.
Both of these great men know it is always up to God.
Praise Jesus! Freeper Cheers!!

Sorry, but there is a disconnect here. You were responding to the survey data, and i do not know where 12th century statements fit in.
But as for showing contrasts via historical quotes, that is entirely fitting in response to the oft repeated emphasis upon consistency and history by RCS, as a premise for the authenticity of their supremacist exclusivist claims. If we are going to make such, then we should not complain when they are fairly challenged.
