Okay, mods…
You know, I actually have real, legitimate questions about this kind of thing. I think this is the second time you’ve deleted a post/thread where I’ve asked about the infallibility or whatever of gedolim. I really don’t understand- you’re not helping anybody here, and you’re not doing your side any favors, either. You’re just polarizing.
This thread is certainly not the place for that discussion. It does not matter here whether Rav Ovadia was right or wrong, or even grievously wrong. What the RCA did was horrific regardless, since even if he was wrong–it is insane to say such things about him. It is an appalling lack of respect and humility.
So- are you brave enough to let this through: why must I respect as a gadol someone who calls another Jew evil? Is it solely because he is called a gadol?
That is relevant. I’ll let that through. I believe it is an honest question.
Remember- you’re dealing with real people with real questions on here (or at least, I’m real, if nobody else is).
