I wonder if they have actually used such tactics on Catholics in person? If so, I can only be thankful that the the success rate would have to be low to nil.
Like the cowards who launch artillery from behind a shield of women and children, those who seek to use the Caucus designation as cover for attacks on others ought not to be surprised nor consider themselves aggrieved when the designation is removed.
It is evident to me that fruitful dialogue was not the goal. Not at all.
Personally I don't think an adopted pose of injured innocence meets any of my needs, nor do I think the pose grants the poseur with any moral claim on me.
Amen, brother.
Of course not, the premise of this was a confession of a Orthodox patriarch which was totally rejected by the Orthodox; however, NOTHING in the body of the thread acknowleded this fact (interestingly enough, if you click the link, this fact IS acknowledged by the source but this was excerpted WITHOUT ANY INDICATION).
This thread would be akin to posting a thread based on the writings of Nestorius and never acknowledging that the Catholic Church had rejected them.
