Kolo is a member of a particular Church under a bishop with valid apostolic succession. He is a member of a particular church with seven sacraments and that has maintained apostolic teaching. You owe him an apology for the grave calumny you have committed against him.

Mark, while having no dog in this fight, a Catholic Freeper has so stated as well. Whom are we to believe as far as the Catholic Church's stance on this issue? A 'Protestant' makes this claim on his reading of the Unam Sanctum and you want an apology, do you ask the same of a fellow Catholic?

No, a Protestant cited Unam Sanctam. I have no idea whether he read it or not. Frankly, I doubt it, as Unam Sanctam deals with relations between the Church and the State, not between the Eastern and Western Churches. But if this individual can provide a quote, I'm all eyes.

And, yes, in fact, I have actually gone after "Catholics" on this board who have supported Feeneyism by the way.

And I didn't ask for an apology for the lack of reading or misreading of Unam Sanctam. It was asking for an apology for accusing a member of an Eastern Orthodox Church of being a Protestant. That is a slap in his face.

(NB: To properly understand Unam Sanctam, you need to know one thing: it was written as a Bull against Philip IV of France, who was trying to subvert the Papacy at that time by insisting on the right to appoint his own bishops without ratification by the Vatican...sort of like what is happening in China today)
