On your profile you say, "I will counter-attack as though you were Screwtape's Second in Command". And you certainly have. Not just me, I get emails from others you have attacked before.

The rules here are pretty straightforward:

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.

The rules of our Church are pretty reasonable too, at least with regards to conduct in this type of matter:

"2478 To avoid rash judgement, everyone should be careful to interpret insofar as possible his neighbor's thoughts, words, and deeds in a favorable way:

Every good Christian ought to be more ready to give a favorable inerpretation to another's statement than to condemn it. But if he cannot do so, let him ask how the other understands it. And if the latter understands it badly, let the former correct him with love. If that does not suffice, let the Christian try all suitable ways to bring the other to a correct interpretation so that he may be saved."

It isn't working, Narses. Folks are catching on to ya. Name a SINGLE post you have produced that gives the Pope the benefit of the doubt in any controversy. I have asked you this repeatedly - along with other pertinent questions - and you refuse to answer.

You can't successfully play the victim card now that I have trumped you with the historical record of your own actions.

BTW, thanks a lot for making me do all that work instead of you owning-up to who you are and what your agenda is. But, it is there for ALL to see. You began your (current) Freeper career by launching an attack on the Pope. Explain how that fits in with what you just cited to me?

Your double standard, where I must treat you with deference, respect and courtesy while you are free to attack the Magisterium and Pope with unopposed alacrity is evident to all who can read the English language.

I know you think you are gaining sympathy with this pleading but each time just gives me the opportunity to illustrate your hypocrisy. That you can't cite a SINGLE post of yours to illustrate you accord the Pope the same courtesy you demand a fellow layman extend to you only underlines the hypocrisy.
