I was making a point, and it's a good one unless you can explain why not. The last time we discussed the Catholic church you declared that art and music exist only because of the church and that I'm on the side of Hitler, Stalin, and kitten rapists. Forgive me if I ignore you on this topic.

lol.
I just thought it was kind of funny that subconsciously you thought it was Taq Man posting this list. As a good fiend of mine is apt to say, "speaks volumes".

That's a fascinating set of quotes. Thanks for posting. Sadly, racists quotes from church leaders are a dime a dozen.
Call me crazy, but I actually draw some hope from this list. That SWK could make a comment like #5 in 1960 and then be the instrument to reverse the priesthood ban is quite inspiring, IMO. I am optimistic for our future.

none of those comments are offensive. That is unless, of course, you are a fool.
The comments might be ridiculous, they might be unintentionally comedic, they might be ignorant, but they most certainly aren't offensive - that is unless one makes the conscious decision to take offense and I'm not sure why anybody would choose to do that. |

Why? Because I choose not to be offended by them? It's actually quite nice to live life without having to worry about being offended by what others say. If that makes me foolish, so be it.
