Thanks for your kind, discerning and perceptive reply.
I don’t really plan a return to past . . . festivities . . . though if some turn ruthless enough, I might reconsider.
I merely wanted to caution the fiercer RC’s that this was not a wise or good thread on which to trash with old hostilities.
If I can be on my better behavior . . . most anyone should be able to be so.
And the cause is well worth every bit of kind, thoughtful and polite conciliatory cooperativeness we can all muster.
imho.
God’s best to you, Bro. You are a treasure.
Oh, I look forward to debating you in the future many times!
You force something that happens rarely in day to day life - you make me examine my faith and the Church. Even though I may not be able to explain things to you, it makes my faith deeper.
There are many wonderful non-Catholics here on FR. Figure The Lord knows his own, irrespective of denomination.
Yeah, I know, penance again ....
This Catholic says AMEN!
