I take it you don't believe in the existence of practicing Catholic women?

I understand that not only does he believe in their existence but that he might even know one or two.

Love does not mean always agreeing with everything someone does

This is, of course, absolutely and utterly true.

It is also a statement that does not entirely gel with the rest of what you seem to be advocating in this thread. Because, you see, whatever this is...

...it is not 'love'.

Perhaps... perhaps... it could be argued that dressing it up as such is... perhaps ever so slightly... sick? I don't know, perhaps that word is a bit emotive and not conductive to productive discourse (or whatever). It would also miss the point. Inappropriate, maybe, is more fitting. So let's run with it, shall we? Inappropriate.

Fundamentally, you can feel what you want to feel and think what you want to think. But it's wrong (because it's pompous and pomposity is wrong) to dress up every single thought and feeling as if it were the product of noble intention and Christian compassion.

Well I wouldn't be so slow if you would stop sneering and get to the point.

I got to the point in my initial post. But I'm happy to repeat it.

Essentially, I would argue that this...

Love does not mean always agreeing with everything someone does

...does not fit altogether well with this...

...and that dressing up the latter as any kind of 'love' makes a mockery of the word. I don't especially care for your type of canting hypocrisy. Frankly, it makes me sick.

All clear now?

The atlas forum, where beliefs are discouraged.

Perhaps, but not by me.
