I’m not going to touch the assertion that the Roman Catholic Church has destroyed a lot of lives, whether it be in Ireland or elsewhere.

And I still don’t understand what you mean by “religiousity”.

But I will respond that there are people who would argue that both the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland and the Anglican Province in Ireland called the Church of Ireland is being destroyed by Liberalism and by extension, the flock therein is being destroyed by the clergy embracing theological liberalism.

(1) Irish Catholic: “This left the Church Militant in Ireland with neither the weapons, armor or morale to withstand the extended Tet Offensive launched by the secular left whose march through the institutions – media, political parties, courts, local and governmental bureaucracies, schools and universities – is now complete. Outflanked, fifth-columned, sniped at and then defeated in one pitched battle after the other, the Church, tactically inept and strategically bereft, retreated in confused rout to sanctuary, presbytery and episcopal palace. Now and then an eminent emissary emerges with yet another white flag masquerading as a brave banner of defiance to signal that the capitulation is complete.”

(2) Church of Ireland (Anglican): “Homosexuality is “natural” for homosexuals and must be accepted by the Church, the Anglican Primate of Ireland said this week.”

From: Archbishop Alan Harper of the Armagh Anglican diocese

P.S. I also read somewhere that the growth in the Church of Ireland is primarily the result of Anglican immigrants moving into Northern Ireland.

I’m sorry Ferg, you’re not going to like this, but I will say it again: Secular and theological liberalism, such as egalitarianism and women’s ordination is spiritually and ecclesiastically destructive.

You have made constructive arguments on previous threads, but your behavior over the past couple of threads has been exactly what I have accused you of. If you get ticked at someone on a thread, then just leave it there. Don’t follow them around trying to embarrass them.

I just took a quick peek at your blog. You’re a good servant of Christ. Pyromaniac, Puritan Reading Project, excellent blog roll, etc… all tell me that you’re solid theologically.

God bless you and yours.

Pax in Christ alone.

I never said I didn’t do anything wrong, as I believe I took Paul’s rebuke to heart. So maybe it’s best that you don’t comment on blogs, because you’re not informed of the situation.

Thanks

Thanks for the words. I don’t know why I’m the only one you address, as Darius, TUAD, and Mark are all acting the same way, but I understand what you’re talking about. If I were to post some left-wing liberal comment and act as though those who disagree with it are not Christians and it is as plain as day, I would be getting the same remarks from these guys that I’m giving them. I agree that I should keep my mouth shut at times, but when people like Darius and TUAD post with such venom and harsh words, it is very difficult (as you know, since you’re not always the most civil on here). I have noticed Darius getting much better at staying civil over the past month or two (I basically just got into it with him because he deemed it necessary to defend TUAD), but TUAD is just about beyond hope, and it is tough for me to just let what he says go without any confrontation. I hope you can understand, and I’ll try my best from here on out. I have not posted here very much, but I have been reading for a while, and the attitudes that some continually have and the words they speak (like TUAD’s continual postings on egalitarianism being Satan’s ploy and a cancer), frankly just irritate me after a while. I don’t see hardly any of the other commenters confront him, so I figured I would. I speak the way I do to try and make him see how foolish he sounds and how it makes us feel, but I suppose that is possibly the wrong method.

Thanks
