I had seen it at my Facebook page when someone in my circle of friends posted it, and thought it was great when I saw it there, too.<br /><br />I like Colbert's analysis: he's a media-savvy man worth listening to.<br /><br />Enjoy your time in the Czech countryside.

"Spirit of rejection"?<br /><br />Not so much. <br /><br />More, the diagram's extreme polarity between labelling those who agree with the Church as "<i>sexist, chauvinist, judgemental [and] xenophobic</i>", and those who disagree with the Church being told simply "<i>Congratulations of being part of civilised society</i>".<br /><br />That is not really civilised, or mature, or any kind of engagement with the reality of the matter.Invictus_88https://www.blogger.com/profile/03446202385252763436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132410343235772418.post-28379742653217405882012-08-13T11:50:10.214-07:002012-08-13T11:50:10.214-07:00Invictus, I think you are engaging in projection. ...Invictus, I think you are engaging in projection. No where in the diagram does it say anything about casting out. That spirit of rejection is really more characteristic of those who would exclude gay people in committed relationships from active participation in the life of the faith community. And the diagram itself is a summary of the argument, which you have chosen to ignore. Could it be because you have no adequate answer to any of the points raised?Richard Demmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17116799651068476195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8132410343235772418.post-11832635521698540812012-08-13T09:18:50.138-07:002012-08-13T09:18:50.138-07:00It says it all?
