This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Heterodox the RCC may be in Orthodox eyes, but not in its christology.  In
that, at least, the Catholics & Orthodoxen are in full agreement.  And
inserting "filioque" into the Creed was just the straw that broke the
camel's back; there had been a long series of misunderstandings and strains
on fellowship before then, on both sides.
