Wow....just wow. Showing compassion with other groups is...taboo with these people.
Ironbite-amazing.
Ironbite, we had a similar thing over here in Scotland about 20 years ago. You see, here we have not only the (Protestant) Church of Scotland, but also the United Free Church of Scotland (commonly called 'The Wee-Frees'. If that sounds a bit Python-esque, it came about from a split in the 19th Century because the Wee-Frees decided that the Church of Scotland wasn't Protestant enough and formed their own branch. To give you an idea about how extreme they are, to become a member of the Orange Order, you have to be a Christened and practicing member of the Church of Scotland. This is the same Orange Order that would happily go back to burning Catholics at the stake
and the Wee-Frees are more extreme than them.
So about 20 years ago, the Moderator of the Wee-Frees attended the funeral of an old friend of his. His friend was a Catholic. For doing this, the Wee-Frees went into meltdown and tore itself apart. Attending the funeral of a Catholic? And not spitting on the grave? In the ensuring carnage, the Wee-Frees (which has only ever had a few members) tore itself apart. Their churches are now split between the moderates, who can talk to a Catholic without looking for lighting fuel and the extremists who are only roughly the same level as the WBC.
