"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?

This issue first. I thought we were united against Islam.

Secondly, I am not Catholic, Latin or Orthodox.

If you are a Christian, just a humble servant of Him, you would be united with all other such believers from whatever background or ethic origin. In fact, if we are dead to ourselves and alive in Him, there is no longer a you or me...there is really only a Him.
