B...Kevin,<br /><br />Yes, I agree with you in every respect.<br /><br />But there's a meta-lesson to be learned. <br /><br />If you are right, Mark will do anything for traffic.<br /><br />That's sad. <br />The alternative - he really thouhht what he said was Catholic - is also sad.<br /><br />So Mark is the object lesson here.Steve Kellmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509461318016670424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-92058299992288926672012-05-08T19:52:22.127-05:002012-05-08T19:52:22.127-05:00You know, I have no clue about any of this situati...You know, I have no clue about any of this situation. I really don't know who the players are. <br /><br />Yet when I see this, I think "why not just say you appreciate the good things he did. As for if he was celibate, one hopes so, but even if he wasn't, there's still a lesson to be learned from his examples here."<br /><br />Now is it still imprudent to cite an example? Could better examples be found? Maybe. But at least one avoids stepping into a minefield.<br /><br />But, traffic is never generated playing it safe. Heck, the only times people read my old blog is when I called Dave Armstrong an idiot, and skewered Janet Smith in every possible direction. Controversey sells, and Mark Shea knows that better than everyone. Heck, the mere mention of him gives him traffic.<br /><br />I honestly think he's just trolled all of you personally. ;)Kevin Tierneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09772355448244959559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-65552392076120603132012-05-07T16:16:20.049-05:002012-05-07T16:16:20.049-05:00Fine work and insights, Steve.

The implied meaning of this so-called defense is that you don't know what's deep in my heart. No, but when someone uses vile, abusive langauge to rip another person to shreds, and goes out of his way to destroy another man's reputation (Mike Voris) because that man doesn't agree with your one man magisterium on some issue, you can pretty well know what's in the heart by what comes out of the mouth. Frankly, what has come out of Mark's mouth in the pat has always been tripe. But now, he has gone from tripe to saying an unrepentant sodomite is a virtual saint. Mark is right that we can't read his soul, but we should wonder, after reading his elegy to a fairy, what's really in there?Steve "scotju" Daltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17864544146213840928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-56491584404962256332012-05-03T22:17:20.824-05:002012-05-03T22:17:20.824-05:00Lynne's right.

You beat me to posting, but great job.<br /><br />I've never cared for any of the Patheos Catholics, except Scalia, who years ago was quite good but has gone increasingly downhill as she has increasingly sold out (my opinion only). But it appears that their participation there is rapidly accelerating the descent of all the writers involved. I saw Crescat say some really bizaare, emotional, immature things in a combox on a totally unrelated blog recently. Kendra is not even sensical at times. I get a dark vibe whenever I'm around that place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774317.post-65927798475234226162012-05-03T09:56:42.302-05:002012-05-03T09:56:42.302-05:00Mark Shea pronouncements on moral theology are bec...Mark Shea pronouncements on moral theology are becoming more and more bizarre.
