I was living in the neighborhood and decided to make the rounds of the closest churches to decide where I was going to mass. I settled on a lovely Portuguese parish and spent the next year there. No complaint was made.

By using little common sense, and over-dramatizing he actually is indulging in a witch hunt and demonization.

Identifying specific ideas as heretical is quite legitimate as is the appropriate exercise of church discipline in dealing with individual theologians and teachers. What I specifically object to is when this activity is carried out by amateurs with little knowledge and less common sense. It then assumes the character of a witch hunt.<Freyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01706221683777453812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9024178972531580240.post-22695350572749339712013-01-29T15:28:03.317-05:002013-01-29T15:28:03.317-05:00I think we have to do some unpacking.

Rightly, after rational review certain people can be "demonized" by those in an authoritative position: e.g. the Western Allies could demonize Nazis after determining that indeed the Nazis, and those committed to the movement were actually diabolical. The Church too, "demonizes" as well, but She tries to hold out a chance for repentance.
