Sad to read this, since you and I wrote back and forth to the HAB list on your reading, for days, and I gave you a lot of time, addressing your reading of specific text passages, line by line. Your "problem" was a misreading of Habermas. In today's posting, you mistake issues of education for something elitist. I'm not going to get into another line-by-line response, but you really do live by a hermeneutics of suspicion. I knew that anything written to you about religion would cause lengthy response, not that I was provoking you. I don't disagree with your sociology of the Church, but that was not the issue you raised earlier, to which I was responding. The main point of Protestantism was to differentiate Christianity from the Church--to get back to the roots of Christianity, which are not Roman in any way. If you want to talk about "roots", as you mentioned earlier, then your comments today about the Church are beside the point. The roots shared by Christianity and Islam TODAY, are not matters of the 4th century Church.
