I disagree.
You and others of your persuasion and I have had fierce exchanges. I’m not ignorant of the differences.
However, once we thrashed things out or at least about sufficiently to pretty thoroughly understand where we each were on some key points, we accepted it and went our ways with whatever degree of respect we were ablt to own for the others—in my case, I respect you both considerably.
I nor the rest of the TPC’s have had to put up with a dozen or two dozen rabid Orthodox fiercely brittle, prickly, personally assaultive shrilly attacking, baiting, !!!!DEMANDINIG!!!!, !!!!CONTROLLING!!!!! even the words we post—insisting that we KOWTOW AND COMPLY with THEIR construction on what constitutes the Universal Church of Jesus Christ—at alll—much less almost 24/7.
Quix, there are a number of you folk who have contested with us and against us about matters of The Faith for years. I KNOW you, and the others, understand the differences. But there are others on your side of the 16th century divide who define themselves not by a confession or systematic theology or even biblical literacy, but rather by being "not Roman" and expect us Orthodox to pile on because we are "not Roman", or otherwise give us a pass for that reason. I think its important that those people ought to appreciate that being "not Roman" isn't the issue. I don't worry about you guys understanding!
