I will defer to others here to debate whose authority matters. My issue is different, and all my comments on this thread point to the single most crucial variable here. I stated that this is not under jurisdiction as a matter of kefira and how to handle that. I stated, again I repeat, based on much interaction with gedolim of today and yesterday, many of their quotes (some were presented her), and considerable experience and study, this is an emotional issue. If that is ignored, it is misinterpreted as kefira. But that is rarely true, if ever. I therefore reject the publication of the Satmar Dayanim as irrelevant to the subject, while it might well be academic genius. The throwing away of anyone is unacceptable to me, and I believe, באמונה שלימה that HKB”H is desirous of teshuvah by anyone at any time. For those who want to portray me as being מבזה תלמידי חכמים, go ahead. I can continue to have utmost respect for them. Here, they are flatly wrong, and their drawback is not knowing the metziyus. Again, I am more qualified in that arena, and I disagree.
