“And YOU will tell us when the greatest men of our generation are making a “mistake”? All of them collectively, no less?! YOU are less mistake-prone than the greatest gedolim?? “
Sorry if that was unclear. I was NOT calling the Gedolim wrong. I was saying one would be wrong to accept them as being infallible. As humans, they certainly are CAPABLE of making mistakes and/or failing to comprehend the full picture. (As am I of course).
“Do you approve of Pinchas ben Elozar ben Aharon ha’Kohen? “
Let me say this. I would certainly put more faith in Pinchas acting on behalf of the unified Jewish people then I do in a contemporary individual who represents one segment of the Jewish people. I believe there is absolutely no comparison between Pinchas and the spitter and to compare the two in my opinion is a real degradation to what Pinchas did.
