Thanks! I do enjoy reading the history of Christianity. I wish more people were aware that it was not smooth sailing.
The problem is that most WEstern Christians whether Catholic or in that umbrella term “Protestant” don’t know about the Oriental or Assyrian Churches. We have our stupid fights and ignore the Ancient Church of the East. We don’t fight FOR them, but at times fight against them — as we did when we knocked off Saddam and replaced him with jihadis and are doing now with Assad.
