Yep, and I was right too.
“Found it! Post #7”
And the Copts are products of heresy. The Coptic Catholics are those Copts who renounced their heresy and schism. Perhaps you didn’t know they have been two different groups for several centuries now. Most Protestants are too ignorant to know such things since they barely know anything about Church history.
I was right then, and I’m right now. Thanks for playing.
I've read that relations are very good, though, and unification is a possibility. I'm praying for that. I'm also praying that they're not wiped out.
Well from the Copts perspective, the Latins are the heretics. The Latin church may be bigger, but the Copts are older, and there are some things about the Eastern I like much better than the Western church, from the Protestant perspective.

sounds correct to me, because if they didn’t renounce thier heresy they would still be Orthodox, right?
