“When Jews are admitted out of pity into familiar intercourse with Christians, they repay their hosts, according to the popular proverb, after the fashion of the rat hidden in the sack, or the snake in the bosom, or of the burning brand in one's lap.”
--Pope Innocent III
I would think that would qualify as a flame or flamebait.

It is not flamebait.

I would think that stating that Jews are untrustworthy would qualify as flamebait.

However, it's not my place to judge, which is why it's reported here to the mods.

Well, now it isn't flamebait. :D

It is an opinion, in this case of the Catholic Church. Just as menelmacar contains a quote of opinion by the U.S. president. It is not flamebait, or else so are dozens of other signatures here.

Correct. It is not flamebait.

It is trolling. ...which is still against the rules.

I wander off for a few minutes to try to find the appropriate quote of Our Lord from The Bible (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/_INDEX.HTM) and when I come back, another Mod has already handled this.

What is the working definition of "trolling"?

EDIT: Never mind, I forgot I could go look it up in the Forbidden Actions thread.

I just have to say that that mod-edit pwnt.

And for the record:

Trolling: Posts that are made with the aim of angering people. (like 'ALL JEWS ARE [insert vile comment here]' for example). Also is used to refer to making obviously silly topics that people nonetheless will reply to. (making a case for the proof that teletubbies exist for instance. There will always be someone who feels compelled to post 'No they don't.' Threads like this should just be ignored.)

Flamebait: Posts that are made with the aim of angering someone indirectly. Not outright flame, but still liable to bring angry replies. It's in the same context of trolling but with flamebaiting it's just the one person.

Flamebait - one person.
Trolling - a group of people.

I just have to say that that mod-edit pwnt.
Yea, verily.

You don't know how much I've always wanted to say "Yea, verily."

:eek:

"Her". Menelmacar graces us with her presence.

Menelmacars signature doesn't fall under the "defamatory" clause.

As one Catholic to another, I would thank you to stop acting like a Pharisee. Do you remember the story of Our Lord and the Samaritan woman at the well (http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0839/__PXC.HTM)? Jews and Samaritans had great prejugdices between each other and yet a town of Samaritans came to believe in Our Lord.

Do you really believe that Our Lord would want us to exacerbate the divisions between people by villifying everyone else?

"Think about it for a moment."

Flamebait - one person.
Trolling - a group of people.
So would this qualify as trolling as well?

It says the exact same thing though, just in Latin. Does that make it ok?

Menelmacar had changed it so it said
"Jews are cuddly."

SD just changed it back a little bit ago.

We hold signatures to a higher standard as it is more difficult to respond to them than to ordinary forum posts. "Servus Dei"s signature has been changed, again.

When was Latin banned?!

There is nothing wrong with Latin. You seem to think that we're incapable or reading it, however.

All the censors always get riled up when the Jews are involved...
brings memories of the Jewish Power thread....

Do those earlier posts I pointed qualify as trolling? Or am I mistaken on the definition once again?

Ah, yes, trolling. I'd overlooked this.

Why doesn't the catholic church use Aramaic?

I believe that this is because the state language of the Western Roman Empire, where the Catholic Church is strongest, was Latin. When the populace spoke that, so did the Church; however, when the local language changed to the various Romance languages, the Church continued to speak Latin.

Aramaic was the state language of the Persian Empire, which was for the most part outside the bounds of the Roman Empire. The Assyrian Church of the East does, however, use Aramaic in it's liturgy.

However, that's entirely beside the point of this thread ...
