'The Church Militant'

By Steve Shiffrin

Well, Patrick and other friends, it seems the irony is destined to continue.  The extremity of tone and temper and triumphalism in these posts will only, I'm afraid, appear to vindicate that oafish lumping of the Roman Church with theocratic 'bad guys' and 'extremists' done by those who've agitated Patrick so.  Likewise leaps like the suggestion that 'the U.S. [is] establishing a military policy against' the Roman Church.  Bizarre... 

I am sorry, but I see no reason for militancy here, and find the rage in Patrick's 'outrage' most disturbing. 

Please dial it down.

The "Roman Church"? This post sounds like it comes from 17th century England or 1920s Alabama.
