    I'd assume that was a video of Ruth Patterson. It has been argued by posters on this very site.

    Arguments tend to focus on how his brand of Christianity was outside the control of Rome and drawing comparisons between his early church and that of modern CoI or Presbyterianism depending on who you're talking to.

    Since his mission wasn't officially commissioned by Rome, one could argue that he wasn't entirely Catholic as such (though apparently in his own writings, he referred to the Roman Church as his brothers, so he identified as one), though it is a fierce jump from that to claiming him for a church that didn't exist at this point.

    Given my own complete and utter lack of faith, I'd look at it all as a bit quirky but fairly harmless.

    Horrible story. So bad, people here aren't even speculating on what might have happened because writing it into words feels horrible.

    It was a nonsense statement to have a go at the other community. Didn't King Billy take money off the Pope? We could go on and on.

    TBF, we pretty much know what the allegations are. Details all over twitter and elsewhere.

    I think the mod ban is why posters here are not speculating (more).

    Reem Alsalem UNSR Violence Against Women and Girls: "Very concerned about statements by the IOC at Paris2024 (M)ultiple international treaties and national constitutions specifically refer to women & their fundamental rights, so the world (understands) what women -and men- are. (H)ow can one assess fairness and justice if we do not know who we are being fair and just to?"

    Oh I'm aware of exactly what it is,. I'd view it as insecurity more than anything, certainly not something I'm losing any sleep over. I was just sharing the pseudo-academics behind the position.

    I think most of us have figured it out.

    Scrap the cap!

    I spoke about this when he was charged, got a warning,as we can't discuss court cases ,it's in nth Ireland, which last time I checked is still in the u.k,but you can discuss Donald Trump court cases no problem and various court cases in the u.k in the past .

    Looking at this, it appears that the main offences happened since 1985.

    Seems as though Donaldsons daughters were born in 1990 and 1992.

    So maybe not a case as clearcut as first anticipated by most. However, involvement of Mrs. Donaldson in parallelit seems likely in my mind that this will still go the way of a conviction.
