We must be the same "pope", being as we agree pretty much all down the line, item for item, thought for thought. Thank you for deconstructing the "extrapolations" and various "if this, then all this other" junky theology, doing so more directly and succinctly than I.

oh wait...did I give out one of our little secrets? Did I say it out loud? We are all popes (dang it! they'll all know now! we can't hide it anymore!)...so much so...we are all the same person. Heck...we are even "pretend" FRomans upon occasion, posting doubts or pondering thoughts in replies, just to make TradRads look bad by showing dissent, disagreement, criticisms, and/or other dissatisfaction (while we just pretend to be RC). And we are all of us "orthodox presbyterians" too, while secretly also forum "moderators" zinging comments made by FRomans here into oblivion, while we cackle with glee.
We are so-oo sneaky and "unfair". Nobody should believe a word we say, because...IT IS A GIANT CONSPIRACY!!!

ROTFL! We know who the conspiratorialists are out there - or do we????
