>>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.
