Repeatedly, redundantly, over and over again, we set forth as clearly as we can in what respect we consider ourselves the true church and how we are related to other baptized Christians AND the difference between being a heretic and believing a heresy (which one could do in ignorance or in error.)

I myself have got to have gone over this about 10 times in the past 12 months.

So it is a misrepresentation by lack of nuance to say we say we are the only true church. And it is a flat and frank misrepresentation to say we think that everyone else is a heretic.

One can only conclude that very many people on your side are unable or unwilling to distinguish between the truth and falsehood OR do know the difference but don't care.

That may be accurate to say after your religion flip-flopped on the issue...But clearly in the earlier days, your religion did not take your position, according to your popes...

Your early popes
