Would you call an Orthodox Jewish synagouge “inhospitable” if they refused to let Catholics have a pork roast there? Or if the Archbishop refused to let a porn director film a pornographic film in a Catholic Church, would that be “inhospitable” or showing a “lack of love”?

“Hospitality” does not mean “letting people carry on all kinds of sin under your roof.”

Jesus said, “Go and sin no more,” not “go and keep doing what you were doing, because you want to be hospitable.”
 
Klydewannab said:
"What is tolerance? Tolerance is an attitude of reasoned patience towards evil, and forbearance that restrains us from showing anger of inflicting punishment…Tolerance applies only to persons, but never to truth. Intolerance applies only to truth, but never to persons…

“Greater tolerance, of course, is desirable, for there can never be too much charity shown to persons who differ with us. Our Blessed Lord Himself asked that we “love those who calumniate us,” for they are always persons, but He never told us to love the calumny…Charity then must be shown to persons, and particularly to those outside the fold…Thus far tolerance, but no farther. Tolerance does not apply to truth of principles. About these things we must be intolerant…Intolerance of this kind is the foundation of all stability.”

So the questions is, who, by this definition, was being tolerant and who was being intolerant?

It is called, “RELATIVISM.” The pope constantly warns of this malady.
 
Relativism would be saying both were being tolerant, depending on how you look at it. I’m not saying that. I think +Burke was being tolerant. He was not condemning Talve, but the errors that she teaches. By the way, the argument that it was ok for her to be there if she wasn’t directly speaking about her beliefs, I think, is a bad one. By being there with the “priestesses”, and by people knowing her beliefs, those who attended are showing solidarity not with her as a person, but as a person who ought to be able to believe and teach error.

I think Talve was being intolerant. She thinks that because she excepts all things as being true, it should be ok for her to teach her truth. I don’t believe all things are true or that all beliefs people hold are correct. There is an absolute truth.

If the two groups want to meet, they should do so outside of church services and with the purpose to genuinely dialogue about their beliefs, with each group putting forth arguments for their beliefs, and not sentimental notions of “everything’s ok if you sincerely believe it”. As the argument goes, a person can sincerely believe that drinking poison will not kill them, but if they drink it, they will die.
