I don't have any trouble being judgemental about rhetoric - in fact, I am paid to do just that. I have pointed out your errors purely from a rhetorical standpoint - that whole "Judge not lest ye be judged" thing? As you undoubtly know, it refers to trying to judge someone's relationship with God - where they stand with Him. My pointing out flaws in logic, and yes, an inability to discuss the topic at hand without making it about you, you, you, is not theological at all. So let it drop - all you had to do was step back and realize that our point(I'm dragging you into this, irishpipes and other Roman Catholics!) is the fact that you are actually criticizing Roman Catholic doctrine (i.e. the idea that communion can be denied at the discretion of the priest for things YOU don't think should matter). There is no need for this to be a RC bashing thread.
That's all I'm sayin'. So ONE MORE TIME - does anyone have anything new to add about the reaction of the bishop or the congregation?
