Another reason for me to not like the current Pope

That has always been a fault of mine.

Not immediately likable?! Balderdash. I have always loved your posts, and your presence here. I missed you when you've been away. You bring such fun to this place.

If my comments insulted you in any fashion, or if you think I think less of you for your religious convictions, I sincerely apologize, as it was not my intention. I would love to hear more of why you feel the way you do, but I understand if you do not want to discuss it. As long as you enjoy your own religious practices, and they are a source of comfort and inspiration to you, helping you lead a better life, then by all means!

If you don't wish to continue on this vein, I understand, though I'd love to hear more, and only question you because I'd love to hear your perspective. My post regarding finding you among those that enjoy being told what to do was simply a reaction to Alex's post. I guess I wasn't clear enough in saying "if Alex is right, then it says this about Tref, which would surprise me, and I want to hear what Tref has to say further."

Anyway, over explained, carry on.
