“Out of your entire post the above is the only bit worth remembering.”
No, there was more worth remembering. What you should focus on is your own errors.
“As I wrote earlier, I think on the whole, your posts represent the most abusive, anti-Catholic, uncharitable posts on the entire religion forum.”
Even if that were true, and it is not, you should be more focused on your own errors.
“[RM: This time please ignore me if I express regrets]”
Cute.
“I’d ping people to this post but I wouldn’t even know where to begin,”
You would ping people? How about you just stand on your own two feet?
“...do you have anti-Catholics hiding under your bed or something?”
No, do you? After all if you think a Catholic is anti-Catholic, then it seems you have more of a fixation on anti-Catholics than I ever possibly could.
“Maybe Elsie might know who the not very bright anti-Catholics are...”
Oh, I think you might know some.
“Frankly I’d rather stand with a non-Catholic who can tell the difference between God Almighty and a moon rock than a “Catholic” who can’t.”
The problem is you’re not standing with non-Catholics. You’re standing with ANTI-CATHOLICS. These people hate what you claim - if you’re Catholic - to believe in as a Catholic. I don’t. Look at your own profile page. You go after anti-Catholics who attacked Mother Theresa. You know, the thread in which you said to anti-Catholics “Your side makes me sick” and “How ridiculous your side seems! A little Albanian woman, made mighty with the might of God, so terrifies you that you must pronounce her damned and adduce lies to justify your sentence.”
Kettle. Pot.
The difference is I always oppose anti-Catholics when they are in the wrong (i.e. when they attack the Catholic Faith, Catholic teachings). You apparently attack them when they don’t agree with you. You disagree with them on Mother Theresa so they sicken you you say. When they agree with your erroneous evaluation of CCC 841 you’re fine with that.
What follows is only my personal opinion and is not to be considered directed at any person, living or dead.
I think if one had been paying attention one would have noticed that was a post by mad dawg, not me. I liked the post and wanted it preserved because mad dawg (sorry to drag you into this but someone has demonstrated reading comprehension issues)
a) doesn't go off like that often and
b) it was an eloquent demonstration of righteous anger...
that is, it wasn't about himself and his own ego it was about the subject of his post... something a few people could learn a lot about around here. I leave it up to the reader to decide where that finger is pointing.
As for the rest of what I think is a pitiful post I think you should try reading your own mind and not mine.
Moving on to a more general topic, I am tired of a very few people treating fellow freepers like things or opportunities to stroke their own egos. I especially find that habit disgusting in my fellow Catholics. Oh we can all trip up from time to time, I'm as guilty as anyone else of forgetting that real people live on the other side of the monitor. Sometimes I even let my irritation gallop out in front of my reason. But it shouldn't be allowed to become a habitual manner of dealing with people.
Furthermore I think that just because a person belongs to my Faith he doesn't have carte blanche to act like a complete and total idiot to everyone who has the extreme misfortune of bumping into him on Free Republic.
These people hate what you claim - if you’re Catholic - to believe in as a Catholic.
Well why wouldn't they when they have such shining Catholic exemplars hurling abuse at them in a constant barrage? What does that kind of Catholicism have to offer ANYBODY?
