>>BRIDEAN
>>Then how do you know that Jesus was merely a common criminal?

>DICK
>What makes you think I know this? How does a person know
>anything?

>BRIDEAN
>Are you saying that you don't know anything?
DICK No, can't you read English? What I'm saying is that YOU have no way to know things. BRIDEAN Then why are you asking me how a person knows anything?
>BRIDEAN
>Filioque, is what I have to say to that.
DICK Yeah, I guess so. Are you denying that schismatics are Christians? BRIDEAN Well, they aren't Catholic since they don't obey the Pope. DICK Yeah, I see that. Mary is both. The Bible contains the infallible truth. Until you realize how Jesus was only a man yet the Bible is infallibly true, you won't be able to understand anything about the Bible. And on a more mundane level you don't know what a schism is or its relationship to the Christian church. BRIDEAN I am just wondering whether the Orthodox are Catholic or not if they don't obey the Pope and they don't believe in the filioque or purgatory. DICK Why is that interesting? You imagine Catholics are all linked together by iron chains and if one escapes you then have two churches? The fact that there is only one church does not prevent the existence of sinners. The Catholic church is trying to bring these sinning Catholics out of their sin. BRIDEAN And what is their sin? How is thier sin different from say, masterbation, a topic you should be an expert in.
