Richard Sherlock Converts to Catholicism

[_just me]

Oh, how I love Blixa. Beautiful and perfect post.

I like the pomp and circumstance of Catholicism. I also like that my fellow Mormon neighbors can stand and bear their souls at Church or talk about their lastest vacation.


Why me, here are some extra questions: With all the beautiful artwork in the Vatican, why are the pictures close to the altar at the Cathedral of the Madeleine so scary? Do any of the hundreds of security cameras at the Salt Lake City Temple offer a live feed to that Angel with the Sword?

The thread has taken an abrupt turn toward awesome.

That was indeed a beautiful post Blixa.

Just leave it alone and move on. Do you live in New York? Just enjoy the city.

Drink your own tea.

If I were spending my time being negative about a religion and doing it year after year, I think that I would commit myself to a nut house.

Coming from someone who has repeatedly made negative comments about Catholicism through out this thread, just like he does anytime anyone says anything nice about Catholicism.

My thoughts exactly. Why me, we'll help you fill out the commitment papers, how's that sound?

So when are you signing yourself in?

After all, you're the king of negative comments about Catholics.

We're gonna miss you while you're in there, but I think it's the best thing for you. You can rid yourself of those imaginary nuns and priests you hang out with all the time.

Apologies in advance for my ignorance, but what is CAF?

The discussion forum is talibanish toward catholicism. It is perfectly okay on that forum to be critical of all faiths except their own. At times, the antimormon catholics tend to bash the LDS church. But overlooked their own skeletons in their own closet.

How they can bash Mormons and Mormonism and not deal with child abuse in their own faith nor deal with their cloudy history is a mystery to me.

But MCB is a poster on that forum and maybe she can answer those points.

I think you really should seek help for your sexual fetishes.

Light cotton turns you on, you're obsessed with the catholic priest scandal, among other things.

Are you mad you didn't get someone to touch you in a naughty place? Missed out on the money from the lawsuits?

You need some help with this stuff.

You're just pissed at CAF because you got busted for lying, calling people liars, not providing references for your claims, obsessing on the priest scandal, just to name a few.

Let it go, get some help.

Problem (2) bears much, much harder on a religion like Mormonism than it does on mainstream Christianity, partly because the historical events on which the special features of Mormonism depend are much more recent than those on which Christianity in general depends (the life, death and claimed resurrection of Jesus), and therefore much more amenable to evidential critique, and partly also because the Book of Mormon makes large claims about the history of the Americas that bear little resemblance to reality from a historical point of view.

Except that catholicism claims truth too. Mormonism and catholicism are two peas in a pod in that regard. Thus, both should be held up to the same standard. However, on this board, catholicism is given some respect. We have MCB constantly downing Mormonism but overlooking catholic skeletons. It is a standard CAF approach.

Been over at MAD lately? Let's talk about their "even handed" way of moderating.

Wanna talk about the standard MAD approach?

You got away with alot over at CAF that would never have been tolerated at MAD.
