<snip> TILL We are glad to have you on the list, but I would ask you to keep in mind that the title of the list is "Errancy." It was set up for the express purpose of discussing biblical inerrancy, and the Catholic Church's history of persecuting dissenters doesn't address the subject of biblical inerrancy. For some reason, a lot of people seem to have the idea that Errancy is the place where the Catholic Church's position on abortion, birth control, papal infallibility, and such like should be discussed. Although I don't censor off-topic postings, I do periodically remind list members that the subjects addressed should have some relevance to biblical inerrancy.
