Do not let the heretic, the apostate and the heathen

So, it seems inescapable that in the view of the poster I'm responding to, I personally am

an apostate, heretic and heathen.

Thankfully, God has a very different perspective on my person and my soul.

However, it was a fascinating personal assault. A little late--here it is already after noon. I was beginning to miss my morning personal assault. I was beginning to feel unloved by my dear RC bretheren and sistern.

Are you taking names on yourself? Are you reading minds?

Ah, the hidden secret of this thread. Unlike it’s title, this thread is not about Mary; it’s about Quix’s feelings.

Okay. We are getting a new fix on Protestant exegesis. If a Catholic makes a generic statement it is directed at a particular Protestant personally and the Protestant is allowed, if not required, to take it personally and to make a show of injured innocence or of brushing it off.

If, on the other hand, a Protestant makes a generic statement it is to be understood literally as being only generic and having nothing whatsoever to do with any individual. Further any individual who takes any remark made by a Protestant personally is mentally ill.

Gah! No wonder they can't read Scripture!
