What happened to your commentary where you left some bible verses that RitaOK and I were supposed to read to understand why it's necessary to keep placing these types of threads up without any protection or more importantly to me anyway without any feedback from you [other than to give the business to two sincere Catholics, Rita and me:)].

Yes, I realize no one would show up for a dog fight if one of the dogs was in a cage, but to keep repeatedly hanging meat [Mary] over the heads of barking dogs? Is this the way one encourages Catholicism/living the Catholic faith? Who are your works intended to be for? And why do you post and run?

I guess somebody decided that my comment was somehow unacceptable. Not sure exactly why, but, whatever.

I had suggested Psalm 2 and Psalm 16.

The point I was getting at was that several years ago I remember Catholics posting articles as “caucus” only to have a non-Catholic post the very same article a few hours later as “open” — and then proceeded to do what they were going to do anyway.

Sorry if you perceived that as “giving you the business” — that was not my intent.

And, as far as “posting and running” — I don’t “post and run.” If a non-Catholic has a legitimate question or has an intelligent point to make, I’ll respond. But otherwise, I just know how to ignore the garbage.

In the words of the illustrious management of this forum, “The demeanor of the poster says more about his own confession than the post says about yours. When he is being rude or mean it drives people away from his confession and towards yours. That is of course if you can resist the urge to meet fire with fire, in which case neither confession is appealing to the lurkers. The poster who “turns the other cheek” wins every single time.”
