>> Herein lies the problem. In the East the faithful are called Laos tou Theou, the People of God, aka Israel. In the West they are called sheep, among the dumbest of animals. It says a lot about our Churches, doesn’t it? <<
I got the reference to sheep from the bible, not Rome.
Me too. In the same Bible God says he made man in his image and likeness, and then the same God compares man to one of the the dumbest animals known. The "image of God" is a dumb sheep? Think about it.
