Remember "The Rules":

Rule One: "Rome" is the locus of all evil in the Universe.
Rule Two: In case of doubt, see Rule One.
Conclusion: "Rome" must be destroyed. All else is irrelevant.

I am not a mind reader; I do not and cannot know what other folks are thinking, or how they are motivated, unless they explicitly tell me.

I find, however, that I can predict the actions and statements of some folks accurately if I assume that they are motivated by and act according to "The Rules" above.

Again, I make no claims as to their actual beliefs or state of mind. I merely point out a useful tool for predicting behaviour.

Well, here's another "rule" useful for predicting behavior:

Rule One: Everything else BUT "Rome" is the locus of all evil in the Universe.

Rule Two: In case of doubt, see Rule One.

Conclusion: "Rome" must NEVER be destroyed. All else is irrelevant.

That has some hyperbole in it, but this does not:

Rule One: Rome is and the supreme authority that defines what is right, and has infallibly declared that she is (conditionally) infallible, and thus accordingly to her decree, and cannot be wrong when she thusly says she is right. If she does say so herself.

Rule Two: In case of doubt, see Rule One, as that is the only way to have no doubt.

Conclusion: All must be part of the Catholic church, or be damned.
