[Dr. Eckleburg]

Emphasizing the connection with the particular church rather than the Roman Church is IME common among very liberal Catholics and liberal bishops, many of whom actually see Roman Catholic as a derogatory term.

Good to know.

Those who refrain from self-identifying as "Roman Catholics" tend to be from the more liberal branch of that church.

Good afternoon, Dr. E. To the quoted remark, respectfully, not necessarily. There are numerous Rites within the Church. Someone within one of those may identify themselves, say, as a Maronite, or a Byzantine Catholic, as an example. Those appellation do not indicate anything derogatory for anyone. They merely more accurately describe the Rite to which that person belongs, within the Church. Just a for-your-information.

Then I would ask when Siniaticus was first produced and when was the copy available today produced?

Were these books in the original?

“Those who refrain from self-identifying as “Roman Catholics” tend to be from the more liberal branch of that church.”

However, since this is a conservative website, it would most likely be erroneous to assume that freepers who refrain from self-identifying as “Roman Catholics” are liberals.

Nice to see that your interpretation of posts is approximately as equal as your interpretation of Scripture. Notice the phrase: "Emphasizing the connection with the particular church rather than the Roman Church"?

Standing ovation. You've done it again.
