Excellent post and you bring up a lot of good points.
Let’s say there was a Southern Baptist/Catholic Caucus and they were allowed to debate the Real Presence. Southern Baptists typically deny the Real Presence, while Catholics believe it. However, Orthodox beliefs on the Real Presence are IDENTICAL to Catholic beliefs, would it be fair to exclude the Orthodox?
Yes, see post 125. The desire for a peaceful assembly is sufficient cause to form a caucus.
Watching you all discuss this issue is one of the most interesting and illuminating experiences I’ve had on the Religion forum in some time. It reminds me of why I first began dropping in here.
Thank you all.
