That was one of our vocab words! Heresy! Nice concept, but I wouldn't wear it. A political sort of statement is weird with a chocolate logo.

I agree with Brilliant248. If it said "Hearsay" with "Objection Your Honor" I would buy it in a minute. Otherwise it's just not incredibly funny.

the "heresy" part is great, the "intolerance bar" gets a bit preachy.

Wow, what a remarkably ignorant commentary on organized religion.



If you're so tolerant, recognize that a religion must clearly define its beliefs and ensure that there are not people subverting these beliefs. If a person claims to be teaching Catholic faith but is in fact putting forth beliefs contrary to Catholic teaching, then it makes sense that the Catholic Church define that person as outside the Catholic tradition. Otherwise, "Catholic faith" becomes meaningless.

XIII. INTOLERANCE AND CRUELTY



The Church's legislation on heresy and heretics is often reproached with cruelty and intolerance. Intolerant it is: in fact its raison d'être is intolerance of doctrines subversive of the faith. But such intolerance is essential to all that is, or moves, or lives, for tolerance of destructive elements within the organism amounts to suicide. Heretical sects are subject to the same law: they live or die in the measure they apply or neglect it. The charge of cruelty is also easy to meet. All repressive measures cause suffering or inconvenience of some sort: it is their nature. But they are not therefore cruel. The father who chastises his guilty son is just and may be tender-hearted. Cruelty only comes in where the punishment exceeds the requirements of the case. Opponents say: Precisely; the rigours of the Inquisition violated all humane feelings. We answer: they offend the feelings of later ages in which there is less regard for the purity of faith; but they did not antagonize the feelings of their own time, when heresy was looked on as more malignant than treason. In proof of which it suffices to remark that the inquisitors only renounced on the guilt of the accused and then handed him over to the secular power to be dealt with according to the laws framed by emperors and kings. Medieval people found no fault with the system, in fact heretics had been burned by the populace centuries before the Inquisition became a regular institution. And whenever heretics gained the upper hand, they were never slow in applying the same laws: so the Huguenots in France, the Hussites in Bohemia, the Calvinists in Geneva, the Elizabethan statesmen and the Puritans in England. Toleration came in only when faith went out; lenient measures were resorted to only where the power to apply more severe measures was wanting. The embers of the Kulturkampf in Germany still smoulder; the separation and confiscation laws and the ostracism of Catholics in France are the scandal of the day. Christ said: "Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34). The history of heresy verifies this prediction and shows, moreover, that the greater number of the victims of the sword is on the side of the faithful adherents of the one Church founded by Christ (see INQUISITION).

As much as I AM sick of the hershey's bar shirts everyone is wearing (how much more commercial can you get? do people ENJOY being walking billboards?) , this shirt is pretty ignorant. I agree with whoever mentioned "hearsay".
