How do you know I am ignorant of something or not? , Definitively enough to post, “It is easy to condemn what we are about. We are all guilty of that some time or other.” (Emphasis mine).]
2 points here:
a) It is a general statement and I included myself (see the word “we”) as having been guilty and ignorant. If you take that personally, it is very sad.
b) You expect everyone on this forum to know your life history sufficently to know why you write what you write? Come on!

"Getting upset with the Pope’s kissing of the Quran is akin to burning of all German books (including Bibles) during the 2nd World War
." (Emphasis mine). Thanks Bob, not only are you assumptive in your analysis of a person, but you’re accusatory as well.
This reference is repulsive. I take serious offense to being linked to the Nazis of Germany. …I do not know why you felt compelled to passively label me a ‘book-burning German Nazi’. That was simply repulsive and grossly offensive. I await your apology.
a) Again this is a general statement here.
Do you actually see the word Nazi in my post?
Did I accuse you of being a book burning Nazi?
Aren’t you “assumptive”?
b) If you do not understand English let me explain my statement. The people who burnt the German books WERE ANTI GERMANS, and if you insist on using the word, ANTI-NAZIS.
c) So if I had accused you of burning German books, then you were ANTI-GERMANS, ANTI-NAZIS! So I actually praised you! Not accused you!
Read my post again, slowly. Ask your English teacher if necessary!
I think YOU owe me an apology here!
dcmac:
Satan referenced Sacred Scripture when trying to seduce Jesus while He was on his Great Fast before His mission. That does not make Satan holy simply because he can pray, or reference Sacred Scripture.
a) Satan referenced the Scripture, but he did not praise it. The Koran praised God, Abraham, Jesus(disputable), Mary, the Archangels, etc.
b) Satan did not dedicate a whole chapter to Mary.
c) The Koran also condemns Satan.
d) Granted, I did not read the whole Koran, So I give you the benefit of the doubt.

Finally, I find your misquote offensive as well. I did not write, nor do I endorse, what is ascribed to me in your quote. … Those were words written by another to whom I posted here for Dominus Vobiscum when he asked for documentation. These are words of a Mohammedan not I.
a) For the sake of brevity, I did not paste your whole post. I only need one sentence from that post.
I never “ascribed” the quote to you, never said you were the author. The readers of this forum can follow the thread as well.
They can read Englsh!
b) If I had given anyone the impression that you said it, then I apologise.
dcmac:
It reminds one of the tactics of the leftist media.(Emphasis mine)
Who is being definitive, offensive, assumptive and unfair here?
Did you actually read my quotation about the Catholic Church’s relationship to Islam?
Read the DECLARATION ON THE RELATION OF THE CHURCH TO NON-CHRISTIAN RELIGIONS
You have been so defensive and offensive, that you have completely ignored my real reply. Missed the forest for the trees, so to speak.
Someone called the Pope a hypocrite. I was defending the Pope’s actions, in the light of Vatican II’s document/teaching.
Lastly, this is a forum to exchange opinions, views, defend the Church, not name calling and personal attacks.
I did not attack you in my post. I was defending my Pope.

Your unworthy brother in Christ and by the Grace of God a future Maronite priest,
Dr. Donnchadh mag Eochadha, PsyD
For a future priest you are… “unworthy” (your own words, not mine) seems appropriate here. But I have to keep further comments to myself. God help the Maronites!
