But he loved the death penalty n/t LiberalEsto Feb 2016 #1

Well sure. trotsky Feb 2016 #4

I can think of a small handfull of good decisions he sided with or wrote opinion for. AtheistCrusader Feb 2016 #2

His siding to protect flag burning as free expression skepticscott Feb 2016 #5

What's interesting is that he was as unlike the current Pope as it would be possible to be. MADem Feb 2016 #3

Um.. No..he was exactly like the current pope skepticscott Feb 2016 #6

Well, I disagree. I think they both had a long way to go, but Frank is further along his path. MADem Feb 2016 #7

Hogwash skepticscott Feb 2016 #8

See? I predicted your reaction! MADem Feb 2016 #9

Yes, you can predict that my reaction to nonsense skepticscott Feb 2016 #14

Aww, sez you! MADem Feb 2016 #15

See, you can't even be accurate about what you posted yourself just above skepticscott Feb 2016 #16

Well, I consider compassion an important virtue. A distinguishing one. Apparently, you do not! MADem Feb 2016 #17

You claimed that skepticscott Feb 2016 #18

No, I didn't say that. You need to read what people SAY, not "interpret" what you want them MADem Feb 2016 #19

What one doctrine does he hold differently than the current pope? Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #10

Who? Scalia? He holds nothing, he's dead. MADem Feb 2016 #11

Fine. Did he hold. Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #12

Are you sure those masses weren't in his native SPANISH? MADem Feb 2016 #13

Yeah, I know the difference Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #20

No...I don't have an obsessive need to visit pointless MADem Feb 2016 #22

So you have no policy they differ on Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #23

What you've "got" is a hatred of a religious leader. Like your pal in this thread. MADem Feb 2016 #24

What I've got it you making a claim you can't support Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #25

I am not "making a claim." I have a POV and you don't agree with it. Too bad for you. nt MADem Feb 2016 #26

Do you even understand what making a claim is? Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #28

Yes I do--and I'm not "arguing" with you. I have an opinion, and it is not a "claim." MADem Feb 2016 #29

Never studied argumentation, have you. Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #30

Look, professor, you can play your little "Let's have a fight" game all day, MADem Feb 2016 #33

I have a pretty good handle on what argumentation is. Goblinmonger Feb 2016 #34

Criticizing flawed doctrine might look like hatred of a religious leader, LiberalAndProud Feb 2016 #36

When the criticism becomes incessant and obsessive, it speaks for itself. nt MADem Feb 2016 #37

Yes, from time to time incessant and obsessive happens around, here and there. LiberalAndProud Feb 2016 #38

So does defense of bigotry Lordquinton Feb 2016 #40

That would only apply if that is happening. MADem Feb 2016 #41

So you claim that homophobic stances and actions are "warts?" Lordquinton Feb 2016 #42

If you can't bother to read, I'm not going to play this stupid little "so you" game. MADem Feb 2016 #43

Do you even read what you type? Lordquinton Feb 2016 #44

"Traditional" Catholicism could also be said to require the execution of heretics... trotsky Feb 2016 #32

The literalism in Scalia's makup was rigid, it seems to me. LiberalAndProud Feb 2016 #39

Drinks a lot, bigoted elitist, then tells it to the priest on Saturday? Zambero Feb 2016 #31

You underestimate what people are capable of in ten minutes. rug Feb 2016 #35
