"As far as I know we do believe that we are something else outside the RC Church, and we are comfortable with that."
Actually, I meant that you probably wouldn't care if we believed you guys are heretics of whatever stripe. Kosta and I, by the way, are not members of the Roman Catholic Church either and we're fine with that too (as our Latin brothers are quite content that they are not Orthodox), so you see, we continue to find much in common! :) God Bless!
OOOPS!, sorry, I knew that. I think I was trying to keep track of capital "C" Church and lower case church. I didn't know the distinction until this thread. Including your post in #610, you're right in that I am not offended by being considered or thought of as "whatever". (I've been called worse :) As for donatism, I just wanted to be super careful not to accept a comparison, because I knew that the minute I did, it would turn out that (unknown to me) donatists would frequently enjoy group pedophilia. :) God bless!
