Ad hominem won't brings us together will it? How do you know who our ancestors are? How do you know anything about us?
I think we have cleared up our differences.
The Allah of Islam, Sin, the goddess of fertility...is not the same person as the Allah of any Christian. There is no insult intended to anyone who is Greek or Levantine
Why do you want to divide us by calling us Latins?
"How do you know who our ancestors are? How do you know anything about us?"
Oh, that's easy. If you were Melkite, Maronite or some other type of Eastern Rite Catholic in communion with Rome you'd have known who I was and thus wouldn't have posed your questions and comments the way you did. If you are of Balkan, Middle Eastern or Orthodox Slavic background you'd have known that it was likely a Greek would know about these things. And finally, only a Latin Rite Catholic would, rightly or wrongly, go after +McCarrick the way you did.
"Why do you want to divide us by calling us Latins?"
But we are divided, my friend. Do you see profit to any of us in pretending otherwise?
"Why do you want to divide us by calling us Latins?"
"Latin" is not considered an insult to my knowledge. It's merely short-hand for referring to members of the western (Roman Catholic) church. The eastern Catholics use the term as well. It's like calling the Ukranian Catholics "Ukies." It's a term of endearment as much as anything.
