Until all are treated equally, your oh-so-reasonable lecture is just a waste of time.

And where does calling non-Catholics "lackwits" fit in with treating people reasonably?

Or what about your cohorts who refer to non-Catholics as "mouth breathers"?

Do as I say and not as I do is never going to end well.

>>Until all are treated equally

“And where does calling non-Catholics “lackwits” fit in with treating people reasonably?”

Problems with that sentence:

1. Didn’t say “treated reasonably;” said “treated equally.” This, obviously, does not refer to any poster’s comments.

2. Didn’t call “non-Catholics” lackwits; called some specific Protestants of my acquaintance lackwits. The comment, quite obviously, refers to them alone.

“Or what about your cohorts who refer to non-Catholics as “mouth breathers”?

We’re only human. After years and years of insult, untruths, and replies that betray a total lack of comprehension, tempers fray. I’m sorry. We should all be saints, but many of us fall far short.

It is a fundamental principle of Western Civilization that the guy who punches somebody in the nose is guilty in a way than the punched guy who punches back is not. A little recognition of that principle would be welcome.
