You deny that Jesus built a Church that all are called to belong to and therefore you are a heretic. At least I am trying to be accurate in my descriptions...

To be perfectly accurate, then, I am an apostate, not a heretic.

Canon 751 Heresy is the obstinate denial or doubt, after baptism, of a truth which must be believed by divine and catholic faith. Apostasy is the total repudiation of the christian faith. Schism is the withdrawal of submission to the Supreme Pontiff or from communion with the members of the Church subject to him.

As such, I am excommunicated latae sententiae.

Canon 1364 §1 An apostate from the faith, a heretic or a schismatic incurs a latae sententiae excommunication, without prejudice to the provision of Can. 194 §1, n. 2; a cleric, moreover, may be punished with the penalties mentioned in Can. 1336 §1, nn. 1, 2 and 3.

whereas you have nothing but caustic sarcasm to hurl at those you don't wish to hear.

The irony is that you are oblivious to the truth underlying my sarcasm. You sow disrespect, and then act surprised when you reap discord.

I'm not suprised at all, actually. The discord was sown by Our Lord years ago when He said He "...did not come to bring peace, but a sword."
