The Primacy Of Peter

[Mr.Cat]

So you take what I said and inverted it to your argument, instead of using this argument from the start. Then you deny the fact that from a Catholic perspective you are in schism for a schismatic act is being out of communion with the Church and denying the authority of the Poe, so technically the term isn’t wrong. I have been called quite a bit of things but I don’t take offence to them, its just apologetics. You are one the first people I have found that really lets it get under their skin but to assure you, it was never intended as offensive. Which if the intention doesn’t matter then I am unsure what does…

You never before complained I misquoted you, so after I have made this accusation against you (with proof) and explanation you start to accuse me of the same? This is starting to get out of hand. I have never claimed to be right a hundred percent of the time (which you have the attitude in my mind since I can quote sources that claim you are wrong or seemingly you are wrong, without explanation or counter arguments you claim you are right.).

You find everything belittling, even when the facts do not meet your story. I see that you are simply someone who doesn’t have the evidence or the ability to discuss this civilly without being offended. When someone proposes an argument you don’t like, you’re offended. It hinders true discussion and it makes it impossible to really dig into the issue. I am sorry that I could of somehow offended you by presenting Catholic doctrines and then quoting them, moreover quoting from Orthodox sources of their beliefs and then asking for an explanation. I don’t know what got into me.

STOP the bickering now or the thread gets closed.

[Mr.Cat]

Maybe we could read back to when this went off subject.

But I deeply apologize for diverging off topic even more instead of ignoring some user posts that I found rather incisive (as I should).

CatholicCat,
There is a difference in discussing a disagreement from a perspective of you being RIGHT and everyone else is WRONG, or maybe a better approach is from a perspective of your belief that the other opinion "may" be valid, but yours is Better.

[Mr.Cat]

Respectfully abstain from comment...

Even as an Orthodox, I dont confront those that dont agree with Orthodoxy with that attitude but allow a friendly dialog to take place. You'd be surprised, there's alot of people that dont believe in your faith that could teach you about your faith in ways that you're not aware of at this moment.

Nope. Judgy Judgy. You take my quote out of context. The reason for the response was in this statement:

"I challenge you to prove it beyond doubt!"

This statements indicates that the individual is not really open and therefore I said what I did. We can have our discussions but such a person with such an attitude need not patronize me. I been in more respectful dialogue with those who disagree with me by accident than you have been on purpose I would wager. And no I am not wrong on the papacy. Sorry. And if someone has a correction for my regading the Catholic faith, by all means present it to me. I am indeed not perfect but the bride of Christ is.

Agreed, it's pretty sad when I get people PMing me telling me "I like what you said in the Primacy of Peter thread", Roman Catholics mind you... and numerous invites to other Catholic Community Forum because of the attitudes of a few that are turning this into a "Roman Supremacy" section of this forum rather then a "interreligious dialogue" section of this forum.
