(urth) Wolfean theologies

[Matt Teel]

Wow ... I don't comment much on this list, but ... damn.  Do you suppose you could lay off the Catholics for a while?  "Priest Rapists" are a result of the Filioque clause?  Come on.  I didn't subscribe to this list to read crap like this.  The conversation was interesting until you felt the need to vomit on the page and share it with the rest of us.

Having a sort of mystic bent to my understandings of this stuff, think the
Filioque is a huge change.  It takes the basic form of the Trinity and turns it
into a flat, hierarchical line.  Triangles are one of the most fundamental forms
in creation, and I think it's no accident that the Trinity is a triangle.
It's foundational.  Flatten that out and you've done some serious root
level damage to the very structure of the message.  It's no wonder all of
the screwed up situations that follow that change. Inquisition,Crusades,
Celibate Clergy, PriestRapists, Vatican II, and now the Oecumenical stuff....

and, I don't know about all of them, but some of the Orthodox I know
DEFINITELY consider Catholicism a heresy.  I find it a little shrill, but
that's just me.  I should say for myself I don't consider them heretics.
I'm in no position to judge that, my own ideas probably being heretical.
