    Church doctrine and theology we in a state of flux as it was getting clarified by the Holy Fathers as centuries went by. am not surprised to discover, thanks to your chronicle that some of them were or would adhere to other ideas as it is normal in an human organization. But faith and obedience to Church are everything to the believer.

    On All Souls' Day, how nice, a patron Saint of those who may be heretics -- perhaps he shall lead them from their choices, to Christ
