I sound quite reasonable on the thread above. Why should I have been banned?

You sound very reasonable defending missionaries who desecrated a Catholic shrine.

a bit anti Catholic don't ya think?

Also, this was a jumping off point so other people could access your entire posting history, and how you NEVER admonished a Mormon poster for anything.

[_hobo1512]

LOL,and yet another diversion.

Whether a everyday Catholic knows the history or not, the fact is, the Church does not hide it or rewrite it like the Mormon leadership does.

As far as the abuse scandal, maybe you should do a little more research. The Mormon church has had, and still has it's share.

Also, you know an individual is more likely to be abused by a family member than by a member of the clergy right?

Also, sex abuse among protestant clergy is a much higher rate than the Catholic church according to the top insurers of churches.

But hey, don't let facts get in your way. What am I saying...facts have never affected you.

Let me try this again: all organizations have skeletons in their closet. No reason to bring out the skeletons out of others unless that organization would allow their own skeletons to come out. On your favorite forum such tactics are not allowed.

What is allowed:

Mock and bash the Mormons, don't listen to what the Mormons are sayings, and continue the attack. This is the logic of the few antimormons who are catholic on that forum who dominate the 'discussion' about Mormonism. Now if you and your friends can adopt the tone as on the muslim thread, much could be accomplished.

Again, you have dragged things way off target instead of addressing the issue(s).

You have not been able to produce a single example from any board that you participate on, or have participated on that shows you admonished a Mormon poster for inappropriate behavior.

You give M & G grief for not calling people on it, yet you fail to do it yourself. The only ones you don't like, and try to admonish, are non Mormon. That is a double standard. If you're going to admonish one side, admonish the other. Period.

You have tried to divert the subject to Catholic history...which the Catholic church freely admits to, whereas Mormons do not admit to their own. They either try to hide it, or rewrite it. Which all of this has nothing to do with the thread at hand.

You have tried to bring in the sex abuse scandal, which the Mormon church as well as many other churches, schools, employers, etc are all involved in. Again, has nothing to do with this thread.

You just don't get it, and likely never will. You haven't been able to absorb anything up to date, so why would I expect anything different.

You are trying to hold M & G to a standard that you yourself do not, cannot, and will not live up to yourself. That is total hypocrisy.

If Mormon posters were mocking the catholics as the catholics who are antimormon mock the LDS faith as they do on the catholic forum, you would be outraged about the Mormons and their behavior and you would most likely blame Mormon teaching. And maybe rightly so.

You haven't given me any examples of anti-Mormon Catholics mocking the LDS church to begin with, and you're in no position to predict what I would or would not do should I ever witness such a situation.

[_why me]

You sound very reasonable defending missionaries who desecrated a Catholic shrine.

a bit anti Catholic don't ya think?

No, I took the position that 19 year olds do stupid things. Mormon missionaries are no different. And that was my point. I did not see any reason to condemn the LDS church for the actions of a couple of nineteen year olds. They are still growing into maturity.

Many people have sons and daughters who have done stupid things when those sons and daughters were nineteen.

Which is defending the little idiots that were trained in Mormon theology (whatever that is), and supposedly trained to respect other faiths. Article of Faith 11 I believe.

Which in turn by your defending them is being anti Catholic. Again, you didn't admonish them, or the other posters defending them.

Again, you're off topic.

Show us one valid example of you taking a Mormon defender to task for anything.

From an active Mormon thread, written by a level headed catholic:

Just a little thought experiment here:

[b]For all of the non-Mormons participating, would this thread bring you closer to Christ and his Church if you were in the shoes of the Mormon contributors? I fully agree with all of the ideas expressed in this thread that I saw, but I'm not sure this is the way to win souls. I don't mean to step on any toes, because I know we're all here because of our faith in the authentic Jesus Christ and his holy Church. I'm just a fellow brother in Christ trying to make sure that we are keeping the goal of winning souls in mind, and not letting frustration, etc, distract us from doing our best to achieve that goal.[/b]

The reason he wrote this is because of the tone of the antimormons. I have no intention of picking through the threads. I will let this level headed catholic speak for me.

Now I have whyme on ignore. So I am taking a bet here ....

Did whyme respond to this request:

But you haven't shown an anti Mormon post by a Catholic.

Still having a problem with comprehension I see.

You also have not shown where you have taken a Mormon defender to task for their behavior
