“Mr.” Goren? That’s ridiculous. Arguing than those greater than you and not being necessarily right does not revoke one’s right to an opinion nor change the fact that he was a major Talmid Chacham.
I dunno Sam. I’m kind of uncomfortable calling him a Rabbi also. I know he knew lots of torah, but I sort of also associate the title with the responsibilities that come with it.
And I kind of think that trading halacha for political position is not quite living up to that. For blazing sake, the guy ran for chief rabbi on a platform that he would be mattir mamzeirim, and then proceeded to do so after he won.
