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.

Except, of course, for those things which _are_ set in stone for
eternity -- as you say, those things which have already happened (like
the Incarnaton), or are true eternally (like the Trinity).

Actually, there's a subtle difference. The Magisterium doesn't claim
that everything it teaches is right; it claims that, in matters of
faith and morals, it will not be _wrong_. There is a gap between
"right" and "not wrong" which allows for mysteries greater than human
words can teach.

Absolutely correct.
