Hosepipe, as the Latins here will attest, I am no apologist for the Roman Church, especially the medieval Roman Church. I do find it intellectually sloppy, however, to cling to silly notions like the “Roman Catholic” church attaining “primacy” in 313, or being “created” by Constantine the Great. The Reformers and their spiritual descendants don’t need falsifications to justify their revolt to anyone so far as I can see.

Lumping Orthodoxy in with all that is completely inappropriate. As you know, there was never a reformation in the East...nor did we burn heretics (well, the Russians did in the 1600s but they weren’t Protestants, they were ultra tradionalists).

True.. I should lump in EO's with RCC's.. The EO's had to deal more severely with Muslims too.. I know.. Sorry for any slight in that way.. But I'm not a fan most any religion christian or not.. A cynic?.. Maybe..

You say that like it's a good thing. 8~)
