It is quite sad that one chooses to respond in a manner that some might find insulting.  But I realize people have different ways of talking and what would, for some, be rude or uncivil, is merely a form of speech for others.  What is also troubling is the tendency of some to react defensively to comments, claiming a victim status that is just inappropriate under the circumstances.  I believe that all true catholics need to work together on this board to further the traditions of the church, the recognition of the supremacy of the heavenly ordained clergy, the primacy of ritual, that inspiration of awesome vestments and papal pomp which differentiates our  great and unchanging church from the other organizations calling themselves "churches".
