Is it a Catholic thing?
Is it the Catholic part of me, the part that loves ritual and liturgy and a formalization of processes ... that prompts my first response to your first post to be a question of protocol? Normally, I'd respond to your post below with a comment. But since this is a joint blog, should I respond with a post of my own? I'm leaning toward "comment" since it keeps threads neater... But I've already broken that rule ... (Right, then. I am not at all trying to imply here that a complex system of rules that are almost immediately broken by anyone trying to follow them is inherent to the majestic complexity of the disciplines and practices of the Catholic faith... this obsessive muddle is entirely mine!)
In any case, based on our discussions in the past, I'd say an essential, fundamental challenge might be sola scriptura, teaching authority, or a combination of both.

Dealing first with the question of protocol, I think the decision of whether to post or comment is something like the decision to start another paragraph. It's an attention-getting device as much as a formality of grammar. So if you want to make a big noise and maybe set the conversation off on yet another tangent, you post. If your comments are to build upon, pick at, or nuance the original post, you comment. In light of that logic. I think I'll finish my thoughts in a new post.
