"So fast for 40 days and nights."

For most of us, that would be suicide, II. Are suggesting that Christ and The Church calls us to suicide? If so, I have to assume that you have come into this caucus thread to cause trouble.

II,

Ay yay yay!

FYI: the "Caucus" label presupposes an irenic discussion among people of more or less like minds.

I don't know whether you came to tear up the pea-patch, but it is appropriate to ping the RM in a Caucus if one thinks that somebody has come not to discuss but to debate or attack the premise.
