Oscar Romero: Martyr

[DGuller]

With me around, your martyrdom would be recognized as soon as everyone recovered from the celebrations.

I don't think you're nearly so infamous as all that. Most people will neither celebrate your passing nor recognize guller's sacrifice.

Maybe you should only quote and respond to sentences you can understand.

This Pope just got here;  the recognition is late because the last two Popes, Johnny the Deuce and Emperor Palpatine, were anti-Romero.  Don't hate the player because the game was rigged by the last two league commissioners.

I am not blaming anyone.  I am noting the non-monumentalism of recognizing a fact 35 years late.  Shieldh would be better off to about the fact that the Catholic Church recognizes that the earth revolves around the sun.

Always lovely to see someone telling you what you should or shouldn't be excited about.

I'm enjoying this Darth Grumbler phase.

Who the fuck was Oscar Romero?
Was he one of those communist priests like the pope?

  I am not 100% behind it, but I can see its logic, unlike, say, transubstantiation.

That's more metaphysics than logic.

Don't you Jews have anything better to do this morning, like murdering somebody's savior or something? 

[Tamas]

So conclusion is that a South American leftist Pope does stuff to recognise the South American leftist Catholic traditions as cool. No wonder it came as a shock to people.

See this is what we get for trying to rescue your confused theology from itself.
And this is what the Church gets for trying to teach you Irish barbarians.  Aquinas isn't just the name of a high school basketball team; read the books, for Yeshua Not Christ's sake.

  Fucking prep school conferences.

Pretty much.

But then anybody who is not an anarchist is basically a communist to you.

[Martinus]

Catholic communists must be Siege's favourites.

I don't get Catholic priests. If I learned that the organization I worked for was a huge pedophile ring I would quit my job instantly. But Catholic priests react... differently.

They don't believe in freedom of choice.

Always lovely to see people respond to posts before reading them.
