1. If you don't agree with me, then you're heretical. |
|
And I'm beginning to wonder even about me. ;-)
But, then, since he put me on a Lasix generic, I say that my doctor changed my religion: I'm now a Diur-etic. ;-)

2. Well, they are off-shoots of R. Catholicism... |
|
...and that's heretical from the perspective of Orthodoxy.

3. Perhaps you should formulate, in general terms, the principle that you applied to one case. |

Roman Catholicism accepts converts from Judaism. Of course, there is a conversion process. If the process is incomplete, then the RCC will presumably conclude that the incompletely converted Jew is religiously incorrect about some things. If that incompletely converted Jew attracts a following of converts from Roman Catholicism, then there would be a religiously incorrect and heretical movement coming into existence. I doubt that the Roman Catholic Church would buy the argument, "It's okay. Roman Catholicism is itself an offshoot of Judaism, so Roman Catholicism is itself heretical."

4. Wasn't really selling anything to the RC Church. |

Only observing that Protestantism is a heresy of Catholicism, which in turn is a heresy of the Orthodoxy.
