Reply To: About the RCA, I do shudder.

why must I respect as a gadol someone who calls another Jew evil? Is it solely because he is called a gadol?

Because you should have the humility to say that there are people in the world who know more than you, and that these are them. (Why are these them? Relevant tangent, but I’m not going there, since that is not under dispute.) And that if you think they are wrong, you can question, but there is a respectful way to do that, and an unbelievably horrible way to do that. And this is the horrible way.
