Your precise and excellent translation supports the idea that Unam Sanctam and by extension the Latin Church does not hold a blanket condemnation of Holy Orthodoxy or the Orthodox. The condemnation of the Feeneyites, which I assume is authoritative as I said, pretty clearly does. I am assuming you knew about that condemnation before you posted to me.

Someone who claims such precision of language and interpretation darn well ought to employ context as he interprets the Feeneyite condemnation. It was directed at recalcitrant Latin Catholics. For the life of me I cannot understand your venom towards me. You accuse me in this post of knowing falsification of the Catholic tradition, of lying, to be blunt about it.

The Feeneyite condemnation only apply to you if you already were an adherent of the Latin communion and had professed obedience to the Bishop of Rome and accepted the claims of the Catholic, rather than Orthodox, side of the schism.

Tone it down, will you.

Touchy, touchy, D! I assure you I wasn't preparing to lead a demonstration outside the bishop's office over this! :) I will freely admit, by the way, that the older I get the more invincibly ignorant I get. I never understood the term "invincibly ignorant" as used in this context to include people who were quite aware of the position of the Latin Church but nevertheless rejected it. It is apparent that I was wrong.
