"But if you believe that the Catholic Church has become heretical, God does not entitle you to that belief."
Did one of us EOs on this thread accuse you RCs of heresy? I must have missed that post. I will say that the Orthodox have fairly regularly been accused of being heretics on these boards, though not on this thread. I thought we had agreed to consider each other schismatics. I think God might agree with that formulation! :)
I don't recall if anyone said heretical, or schismatic.
To rephrase: if anybody (of whatever stripe, including Roman Catholic!...perhaps ESPECIALLY including Roman Catholics...) thinks that the Church has fallen irretrievably away from God thinks to hapless innovations, the answer is that God is still performing miracles at Lourdes, so He has not turned His face from us yet.
Which is not to say that many, many Catholics (and everyone else) haven't turned their faces from God.
But let me ask you: is filioque heretical, in your view, or merely schismatic?
