So that rather prevents your subsequent judgements holding much water, I'm afraid. If I am abused, I will respond; the response can hardly therefore be the vindication of the abuse.<br /><br />You are the only one who has sought to revive old hatreds. Your clumsy attempt to see malice where there was plainly none, actually insulted every other Roman Catholic living - none of whom I know would ever identify with Fawkes.<br /><br />You tried to play the religious hatred card and failed. This is a wholly forgivable folly as half the world is always trying to play *some* sort of victimisation card to quash divers facts, opinions and traditions they don't like. Let us therefore speak no more of this blip and move on.Sir Walter Scotthttp://themonarchist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-76141022673511464242009-11-07T12:55:27.033+00:002009-11-07T12:55:27.033+00:00Your response reveals you for the disingenuous big...Your response reveals you for the disingenuous bigot I suspected you were. My objection was clearly to the language of "popish treachery". There's plenty of 17th Century Catholic vituperation about Protestant heresy and bloodthirstiness, but it would be contemptible to offend modern Protestants by parading it on a blog about monarchism.<br />May God protect us from the hatred of Guy Fawkes' age and from those who would revive it in our own.Henleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-88151274266563476022009-11-06T18:56:28.951+00:002009-11-06T18:56:28.951+00:00I'm sorry, Henley.

I had not realised modern Catholics actually supported Fawkes' attempt at mass murder, and that therefore any remembrance of that plot's thwarting could be considered a slight on them.<br /><br />If we really have got to the point where it is considered bigotry to say that I am glad someone's co-religionist failed to kill dozens of innocent people, we are lost. You ought to think carefully about who and what it is you are identifying yourself with, when you come out in support of a would-be bin Laden. You are playing with the rulebook of modern victim culture, and I will have none of it.<br /><br />Don't you think it would have been a sin to do what he hoped? Don't you think, therefore, that it was good that it was prevented? Was it therefore not prevented by God? And ought we therefore not give thanks?Sir Walter Scotthttp://themonarchist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8162816964941896969.post-44782768714874735602009-11-06T03:31:52.690+00:002009-11-06T03:31:52.690+00:00It is merely a very old quote, not an indication o...It is merely a very old quote, not an indication of anti-Papist sentiment felt by the author.

Grow up and start treating your fellow man with a bit of respect. I can't imagine any Catholic posting such a nasty screed about Protestants. It does your faith no credit.Henleynoreply@blogger.com
