That’s fine. I will not lose sleep over your considerations in the least. What is a greater issue is that you are denying that you posted a statement that you posted.
“You are engaging in pettifoggery.”
No. You made a statement in post #51. I tried repeatedly to get you to post evidnece of that statement and you UTTERLY and COMPLETELY failed to offer any evidence whatsoever. What you posted as evidence did not even address the statement you made. You now even deny making the statement. Anyone can look at post #51 and see that you wrote: “This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church.”
“I reworded the statements made by the Moravians themselves to describe their origins.”
No, you did not. The Moravians no where in that statement claim this: “This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church.”
“You have no evidence of their claim of origins (evangelized by Greeks and resentful of the later Latin imposition) being in error.”
You just made several claims:
1) I have no evidence of their claim of origins.
2) Evangelized by Greeks
3) Resentful of later Latin imposition
4) that all of that is not in error.
Well, let’s look at that:
1) I already showed that - and posted - evidence about the Catholic roots in Moravia and that Sts. Cyril and Methodius were Catholics. Period.
2) I never said anything EVER about Sts. Cyril and Methodius being non-Greeks so why you now say that I would claim it was an error to say they were Greeks is beyond anyone’s comprehension.
3) There is no evidence - none presented by you or anyone else here - that there was any “resentment” 500 years after the fact. Period. Irrefutable.
4) Your priginal statement, “This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church,” is still very much in error and has not been shown to hold any water whatsoever.
“My supposition based on the historical personage of John Hus and what followed is proof enough to my thesis that the Slavic people of Moravia chaffed under the Papal yoke.”
Wow. YOUR SUPPOSITION based on YOUR UNDERSTANDING of a 500 year old dead and WHAT YOU BELIEVED FOLLOWED HIS DEATH is proof enough OF YOUR THESIS that you can’t offer a single, solitary shred of evidence for. Amazing. In your world, apparently, supposition based on opinion is king. How convenient.
Still. No. Evidence.
Here again is what you said...and then denied ever saying...and then claimed was just a deduction based on someone else’s baseless and unsubstantiated opinion:
“This is laid the groundwork for the resentment that long simmered against the Latin church.”
