Or there’s been a kind of visceration of language. One group describes the tenets of another as damnable heresies. Then they claim “unity”.

EITHER heresy means something trivial, OR “unity” means something trivial, OR this claim means something trivial.

They are like the Muslim Sunni and Shia. The Arabic saying is very apt: The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Very primitive.

*Guess that’s why standard latin phrases are forbidden and common English usage is not understood.
