Actually, his position seems rather levelheaded and sensible in this area. I am speaking more in general - the trend in this thread is to demonize him as if he was actively malevolent, and goose-stepping his way over the myriad bodies of his dead enemies. Essentially this thread has been a big "ad hominem" attack on a position that, once I actually read it, not only made no claim to infallibility but openly called for reasoned debate and scientific discussion.
Of course, the big offender is mykalberta, who appears to be a Protestant straight from the 16th century appealing to the forces of "anti-popery". Still, the opportunity to call down calumny from the cheap seats apparently was too juicy for someone to call him on it - I never thought I'd be in agreement with Jolinar, but he is right in that this thread has never been about debating the actual issue, but rather about getting licks in at the Catholics. Not impressive.
