“Harav Hagoan”–

“My contention”–was a question that was asked back in the 1930s and 1940s. It was asked of Gdolim, and my contention here was that, in some cases, their answer was wrong. It cost some of the people who asked the question their lives- in some cases, visas were ready–some prepared by those very MO YU Rabbanim. Perhaps you feel that the spiritual dangers of Modern Orthodoxy are worse than the very real possibility of dying at the hands of the Nazis. Personally, I do not think that htis is a question that requires the attention of a Gadol. I do not have to ask a Gadol if walking on thin ice is dangerous.

You may have the idea that Rabbanim are infallible; I do not.

On the other hand, I do respect Rabbanim and Institutions of streams of Judaism other than my own, which is more than I see from your posts. Respect for Rabbanim is one thing. Elevating them to the status of Neviim is quite another.
