Someone threatened us with ‘taking things further’ and so we intervened.

Nothing to do with taking sides CL. But I must confess I really was interested in your responses to the issues I noted above.

Anyway, the offer for us to remove anything you wish remains open, but the thread, alas, does not.

And that, folks, is why the thread was re-opened: to allow the anti-Catholic slander to continue. This blog is now officially an intellectual toilet.

I re-opened the thread because it seemed harmless enough and some people seemed to be enjoying the sport of abusing each other. However if comments are defamatory they shouldn’t be in the thread and will be removed.

We’ve had one threat to take matters further in this regard from someone who was hopping into CL.

CL, tell me if you want any comments amended for the reason that they are defamatory, and don’t defame people on the thread.

And please don’t abuse me or even argue with me as I can’t be bothered with it and don’t have time for it (and if I have to persevere commenting I won’t bother but will re-close the thread).

Personally I’d be interested in your responses to the various claims at 249 and 239, but it’s a free country.

NG

This isn’t an invitation to carte blanche, however. Please be civil and avoid any potentially defamatory remarks.

Adrien’s usual strategy when one of his howlers collapses: I know you are but what I am? You’re the one who argued (falsely) that Christians regard “fecundity” as the sine qua non of a ‘legitimate’ marriage. Um no, they don’t. Earlier – to the probable horror of most homosexuals – you claimed marriage was necessary to ‘legitimise’ gay relationships too. The complementarity of the sexes (more multi-faceted than you seem to realise) is a scientific fact, not – as you argued earlier – “supernatural” and “imaginary”. Not is it, as Mel amusingly insisted, a “theological concept.”

The more one learns about these people the more horrified one becomes.

Does that mean you withdraw your insistence that homeless people be incinerated?

Ten days after Fred essentially conceded his original post was baloney, only the deadenders Mel and Adrien are trying to save face – Adrien by denouncing my “prohibitions” against gay “marriage” (yes folks, Obama, Rick Warren and I agree on this and together rule the world) and widely banned oddball Mel by linking Pius IX (?) to the American Civil War (?).

“Bologna, 1858: A police squad, acting on the orders of the Inquisitor, invades the home of a Jewish merchant, Momolo Mortara, wrenches his crying six-year-old son from his arms, and rushes him off in a carriage bound for Rome. His mother is so distraught that she collapses and has to be taken to a neighbor’s house, but her weeping can be heard across the city. With this terrifying scene–one that would haunt this family forever–David I. Kertzer begins his fascinating investigation of the dramatic kidnapping, and shows how this now obscure saga would eventually contribute to the collapse of the Church’s temporal power in Italy…. Refusing to return the child to his family, Pope Pius IX began to regard the boy as his own child. ”

No you’re thinking that and using ‘words’ like ‘complimentarity’ to hide the fact. Essence of womanhood is an eau de toilette line by Coco Chanel of Paris, discontinued.

Turnbull, like you, believes in gay marriage.

And if it weren’t for that he’d snap you up right. :)

Why doesn’t Tony Abbott hire you then?

Advanced stuff, cro-magnon man.

Im surprised Turnbull doesnt hire you.

Turnbull, like you, believes in gay “marriage”.

Really?

Oh good. That means your whole slew of Queensberrian rhetoric viz homosexual marriage and the lack of sprogs popped consequent of the resultant bonking will now cease and desist.

So what other arguments did you have? Oh yeah: What that dude wears a funny dress and rules the last of the world’s theocratic city-states guaraded by fellows in pantyhose with 16th century pikes has to say and also: penis goes in vagina.

Good basis for public policy that. I’m surprised Turnbull doesn’t hire you. :)

We haven’t heard something this rational from you since you called for the killing by incineration of homeless men.

Remember that, Herr Munn?

“Neither, Steve, sorry. As a professed homosexual who later claimed to be married with children (and who suspiciously removed pictures of Asian kids from your blog when people commented on how frightened they looked – and how bald you were), your comments on just about everything are to be regarded with the utmost contempt.”

I rest my case.

Adrien, your dealing with someone who invented a new word- “complimentarity” – to support his homophobia. The intellectual abilities necessary to construct a secular rationale for Pope Benny’s position is well beyond the reach of Our Lady of Incontinent Platitudes.

“It isnt civility to run your usual anti-Catholic bullshit stories while pretending to be a polite, disinterested contributor. And I suggest you at least look up Pio Nonos life and times before you so foolishly dismiss his accomplishments.”

Thanks for the advice, CL. Pio Nono is of course Pope Pius IX, who CL lauds as a great Catholic hero in spite of his disgusting views on slavery, women, religious freedom and practically everything else. Here’s CL’s favourite Pope giving us the good word on Jews:

“Jews had been children in the House of God, [but] owing to their obstinacy and their failure to believe, they have become dogs … We have today in Rome unfortunately too many of these dogs, and we hear them barking in all the streets, and going around molesting people everywhere.”

Pope Pius IX was also responsible for the publication of journals that ran the type of anti- semitic campaigns later employed by Hitler:

“The Jews — eternal insolent children, obstinate, dirty, thieves, liars, ignoramuses, pests and the scourge of those near and far . . . managed to lay their hands on . . . all public wealth . . . and virtually alone they took control not only of all the money . . . but of the law itself in those countries where they have been allowed to hold public offices . . . [yet they complain] at the first shout by anyone who dares raise his voice against this barbarian invasion by an enemy race, hostile to Christianity and to society in general.”

Naturally enough, Pope Pius IX was beatified by the John Paul II in 2000.

Answer: 0.”

This claim will make lefties angry.

Oh, hang on. No it won’t.

Bad books are the only intrinsic moral evil. :)

And also why are there so many more souls around now. Why is their growth directly proportional to that of human animal individuals? Is there a factory that makes ‘em? Or are there a limited number of souls hence most people nowadays don;t have them? I think this a viable hypotheses.

How shall we test it? I know. Let’s use the tried and true methods of Holy Mother Church: exorcise some demons, quote a lot of Latin stuff, swing a bloody great metal pot stuffed with burning incense about, set a few people on fire – stuff like that. :)
