Quote:I think you give the Orthodox too little credit. They are not heretics, even their position on divorce is defensible and often vastly misunderstood. If you are right in your position, I fail to see what makes their historical position so untenable.
They are heretics in re. the Assumption and the Immaculate Conception, very obviously so. They also have a heretical misunderstanding or rejection of the apostolic Petrine office and dignity, and also reject the dogma of papal infallibility. So, they are heretics and schismatics.
