Indeed he was of the Dread Ilk OG, and among the best and most prolific commenters. Rest in peace brother.

They've done more to promote natural families and that their approach to the topic was more consistent than any in the protestant world.<br /><br />He was right.<br /><br />He convinced me that traditional catholic teaching on the topic was more in line with the biblical standard than anything being promoted in the protestant world. It hurt at the time to admit it, but he was right.<br /><br />He was also right about Catholics doing more good work i.e. hospitals, orphans homes etc.Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-87650290035065888022015-04-18T17:48:13.362-07:002015-04-18T17:48:13.362-07:00I did not really know him, other than by associati...I did not really know him, other than by association with Nate and Vox's blogs.

But I think he had such a strong cultural affinity for Catholicism because he understood how much good the Catholics have done over the centuries (something that most Christians really, really don't get) that he was simply willing to defend them warts and all. <br /><br />-BillBillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01398111375918398229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-5683070072332173422015-04-18T01:21:07.684-07:002015-04-18T01:21:07.684-07:00Greg and I disagreed about most of his Catholic st...<b>Greg and I disagreed about most of his Catholic stuff,</b><br /><br />Me too. What made him a cut above was that he knew why he believed what he believed.<br /><br />Almost every catholic I've ever met didn't have a clue what they believed or what their church taught beyond what they remembered from confirmation class. EP was different in that he understood what the RCC was saying, why they were saying it and who it was that developed that particular doctrine.<br /><br />I disagreed with him too, but he did his homework and understood more about his faith than some "bible believing" protestants that I've known. I give him credit for that because his faith was based on knowledge and not because he happened to be brought up in that church.<br /><br />It's rare in RL that I met people like that, even in church. He had a good handle on the who, what, when, where and why of Catholicism. If you wanted an argument he'd give it to you. If you wanted to understand why he believed something he'd explain that too.<br /><br />Res Ipsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433725505878267643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768209.post-82318911644282822852015-04-17T16:09:57.438-07:002015-04-17T16:09:57.438-07:00Man.
