What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Randy Carson]

There were many times that the Israelites took folks out of the camp (or later the villages) and stoned them to death for their offenses against God.

Oh, hey...it happened here, too (his crime was blasphemy):

I may give you shit for your duplicity, but at least it's honestly Catholic duplicity......makes me feel like a kid again.  So hats off to you too sir.  Now, back to helping me to explain the catholic position to the rest of these heathens and half-believers, so I can live to see an uptick in people leaving your church!  Some of them don't believe you...they don't think that catholicism -is- what you say that it is.  "Surely, it can't be -this bad-"......they say, I say we give em a cold hard dose of holy mother church.

I'm happy to present the Catholic Church straight up and unashamed.

Though the "Ask a Catholic" thread would be the better thread for it...
