Gee will survive because he picked an acceptable target. Switch Catholics to Jews or Muslims in his comments and Ohio State is announcing his firing today.

If you assumed I am a Protestant, you missed the mark. I Am a very spiritual person, I just dont feel the need to put any such mantles around my neck.

In regards to the Catholic faith, I hold their Scientific Wing in very high regard. Their desire to learn and lead humanity in research of what is "Out There" is quite enlightening in my opinion. Such persons are proof to me that darkness and light shall always exist in opposition to each other as well as in cooperation with each other.

I am a big fan of this as well. They are scientifically curious and intellectually open to new discoveries and new scientific information, particularly in physics and astronomy.

Very nice of you to help H on his own remediation project...

People make comments about Muslims all the time. You are correct on the Jew part though.

It is quite silly that our society acts in such a way. All he was saying is that a particular group of Catholics do not act very Catholic and some of you are getting all "Woe is Us!". Perhaps some of you are so defensive because you know you are at fault in the same way?

It is interesting that often self judgement comes right out for everyone to see. There are plenty of Catholics that won't get all up in arms about this, I wonder why.....

I'm not bothered by his comments so much as I am the double standard.

Lol, does Louisville offer head transplants? Gee may need one of those......

He needs to see a surgeon who treats people for cranium rectal inversion.

The proper term is rectal cranial impaction...

Lol. You'll have to excuse my ignorance, as I am a lowly graduate of the University of Louisville.

I'd love to see some quotes of public officials speaking about Muslims in pejorative terms like this. The press would go nuclear on it.

Okay, since this thread is going nowhere fast, it's time to end it...
