My repentance was for displaying a vindictive spirit... as if I were God's instrument of vengeance! That's not my role -- as a sinner redeemed by grace I'm unqualified to judge others. On that the sacred texts seem firm and clear. Ideas are one thing; we can and should test and reject those which unworthy of our Lord. But we should never lack a spirit of charity. I was worried that perhaps my writing had been occasionally (often?) missing that.
