The Catholic Church is often attacked because people are not fond of her teachings. While it is true the Catholic Church has many teachings that are hard for some people to understand, often times the so called “teachings” are really not reflective of what the Catholic Church actually teaches. I call these “teachings” of the Catholic Church that she actually does not teach “mythconceptions”.

You know well that I've let myself be convinced by the hype. That's all that happened here. I wasn't really offended. If I got offended/upset every time someone stated a falsehood about the Church (if they knew it was so or not), I'd spend my life a pretty pissed off person. Instead I tried to use humor and the truth to diffuse the situation. It was not my intent to use that humor to mock or insult you. I hope you have not taken it that way. Even though you and I disagree often, I have a great deal of respect and admiration for what you've done with NIT. You take a hard job and make it look easy. Thanks for your hard work.

I was being flippant and ignorant. I apologize if I offended. It was Friday is not an excuse, but by the end of the week I am usually pretty mentally fried. Anyway, I am going to link to this as an update to the post you mention here. With this post you have educated a dimwit heathen who was unaware of the finer points of the limbo theory/theology.
