Re: Theos-World Ecclesiastical associations AND Animosity

Dear Krishtar,
First of all I think that it is clear that there are a high level of animosity expressed towards the members and dedicated fellows connected to the T.S. Adyar. I do not see any members of the T.S. Adyar within this forum trying to impose their ideas towards others; on the contrary they defend their point of views with balance.
Nobody is to be condemned to be a priest, to be an employee of the T.S. Adyar or not. To use the personal choices of others, their religious preferences or their support for an author or other to try to depreciate their point of view and opinions it is not a fair game. I really did not see the point of Dr. Tillet announcing here in this forum that Pedro will be a future Bishop of the LCC.
What he is trying to prove with these posts that Pedro's opinions have not value because he is a priest of the LCC? Better try other arguments because these just express how small some people can act in order to depreciate others.

Hello Erica
It is a pity that much of what we have been acquainted, familiarized to, in terms of information about many subjects in the Theosophical background and history has been under the form of all this animosity, isn#900;t it?
People tend to become very literate but sometimes I gess the lack of compassion screams at a higher level in the same proportion.
Although I feel not comfortable to judge anyone#900;s bahaviour, I cannot deny that people are again hurting and being hurt back in the list.

Pedro's reference to a folly of my adolescence (i.e. membership for a time of
the Liberal Catholic Church)is hardly a revelation of any significance. It is
explicitly noted in my biography of Leadbeater: p.viii.
As for adding "ecclesiastical titles", what ecclesiastical title is held by
someone at the lowest level of the Minor Orders of the Liberal catholic
Church??
Should all who offer comments declare, in advance, any memberships or
affiliations? If so, why has Pedro not declared that he is a priest of the
LCC, and about to become a bishop? that he is an employee of the (Adyar)
Theosophical Society? It could be argued that these are relevant
considerations in evaluating the arguments he is making (and, in particular,
his refusal to give clear responses to questions about Leadbeater).
Is he a member of the ES? the ER? of Co-Masonry? should we check out his time
working at Adyar?
Perhaps we should we seek a complete curriculum vitae of everyone posting on
the site?
Does anyone care? I certainly don't. My assessment of arguments is based on
the arguments themselves, not on the present or past associations of the
person expressing the opinion. But "shooting the messenger" is an old
political tactic. The gullible are often impressed.
