Shea seems to lack the self-awareness of this in himself. He has always been "ban happy" -- I'm currently banned on his Facebook page. This indicates that he does NOT want to engage other peoples' opinions.<br /><br />The best thing to do about Shea I think is point out his most egregious mistakes as a cautionary tale to anyone who might encounter him.Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506171638613025839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-75740154929850466192019-05-17T02:07:03.194-04:002019-05-17T02:07:03.194-04:00David, take it from me.

I'm amazed he has ever had any credibility, anywhere, as a Christian or a thinker -- to say nothing of his being both.Bubbanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-51513099929589681012019-05-09T12:36:28.719-04:002019-05-09T12:36:28.719-04:00Here's a comment made to Mark Shea's post:...Here's a comment made to Mark Shea's post: "I love you mark but to imply that women who minister outside of those death gates aren’t being persecuted is just not true. As a matter of fact, from my vantage point they’re probably the only Christians in this country who are consistently worthy of persecution and oddly enough the majority of them are catholic. (I actually got my rosary from one) what that woman endured was literally nothing compared to what many of the holy women I’ve stood beside have endured. Death threats. Threats of rape. Male intimidation etc. intimidation by police, state governors etc. of course if you’re not saying that these women aren’t being persecuted then disregard"Paulihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17506171638613025839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065164884737080821.post-4969064267213041692019-05-09T08:06:12.953-04:002019-05-09T08:06:12.953-04:00The problem with Mark is that he teaches a false g...The problem with Mark is that he teaches a false gospel, mixing his politics and how he explains the teachings of the Faith, all while engaging in lies and calumny against those who disagree with his opinions and behavior. That can't be ignored. And yet, ignoring is probably the best bet since Mark is to the point where there's not much hope in engaging him.
