I set out my condition for a fruitful dialogue, which was a ceasefire. A not unreasonable request for peace talks.I also said some members of the RCC do not have our best interests at heart. Not really controversial, otherwise why do we need this dialogue.

You decided from those positions that I am anti-Catholic and Close-Minded. How do you expect to have dialogue with someone if you don't listen to what they say and try to empathize with their position.

As for the last message title... well I don't know what to say. So I wont say anything, apart from I am dropping out of this lack of discussion.
