You imply that there is some tipping point at which Rome achieves legitimacy in your eyes,

You either forget or don't know that I am the ecumenist in this mix. I believe in Christian unity with all my heart.

Jesus prayed, "Father, let them all be one..."

There will be a day when we get all this mess straightened out and we will all be one.

In the meantime, every true Christian everywhere through all time in all our various denominations comprises the holy universal Church.

"You either forget or don't know that I am the ecumenist in this mix. I believe in Christian unity with all my heart."

Then why do you gleefully "rest your case" about us? What case? That we are not Christians? That we sanction this stuff as a true representation of our beliefs? It's not like those Catholics on this thread aren't appalled by this, too. Precisely because it all runs counter to our Faith! You took too big a bite with this "rest our case" stuff, and you were called on it. That's all. Ecumenism begins with seeing things from the other's perspective. So be ecumenical: look at our dismay at these things, and share it.
