      Most if not all non-Catholics have no objection to the underlined portions because they interpret them differently than Catholics do. For example, consider the phrase "holy catholic church." While the word catholic is most commonly used in English to refer to the Catholic Church, the word "catholic" also means "universal" or "all-encompassing." A Protestant would probably claim that the term "holy catholic church" here is a reference to the Christian community as a whole. In contrast, the position of the Eastern Orthodox Church is that the Eastern Orthodox Church is the "holy catholic church" is the Eastern Orthodox Church--indeed, while it's common (at least here in the west) to refer to it as the Eastern Orthodox Church, its official name is actually the Orthodox Catholic Church.
      Well, liturgical references to it are (outside of the Nicene Creed) generally (if not uniformly) simply "Orthodox Church". My diocese is a bit unusual in actually using it in its formal title ("American Carpatho-Russian Orthodox Greek Catholic Diocese").

        Yes you’re correct, as I subsequently found out via the same source. But, it’s interesting nevertheless that a supporter of the notorious liar Trump is concerned with a white lie told by “evil” Hillary.

          You know that no one here is an unqualified Trump supporter. It would be nice if you quit pretending otherwise.

          Your attempt to minimise Hillary's lie is duly noted.

          3) There's no need for you to reply to this, but you'll doubtless do so anyway.

            It served to once again expose the utter contempt that Hillary has for the American people in general (what with half being an "irredeemable basket of contemptibles" and later added "backwards" while speaking in Mumbai) for thinking that such an obvious fabrication would not be pointed out. Then again she probably counted on a compliant MSM to not dare question it or squelch any mention of it being a ridiculous assertion.

              Right, you all qualify as Trump supporters who both voted for and continue to defend him, but are trying to slowly distance yourselves because you can see the Mueller train a comin.

              Oh yeah, that sure was a whopper, eh! Good thing we don't have a President that lies like that, right?

                Forgive me if I've mentioned this before, but you're a terrible mind-reader, Jim. I "support" him no less than I ever have - which is to say, he's still a morally reprehensible loudmouth whose primary virtue is he's not Hillary and has surprisingly supported some conservative ideas. I can see the Mueller train still feeding us a steady diet of nothing-burgers.

                  Using little jimmy's own criteria he is a major fanboi of NAMBLA.

                    And did you always argue that Trump is a morally reprehensible loudmouthed liar, like before you voted for him. NOT!

                    • It's funny how you diehard Trump supporters can't even bring yourselves to admit that he's a morally reprehensible loudmouth. Just have to defend him at literally every turn!

                        I actually "support" him less than I did when I voted for him.

                        I considered it vitally important that Hillary not be POTUS, and SCOTUS not be Hillary's, and I had hopes that Trump would, as I believe Rogue called it, "grow into the job". He has not.

                        To frame that as being a "Trump Supporter", however, is an asinine steaming pile of horsie poo foisted by persons who seem to be trying to prove they're just as dishonest as their version of Trump, and who, by that reasoning, are avid "supporters" of unconscionable outfits like NAMBLA (in one particular case).
                        The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                          But you still support the lying, criminal, undemocratic, wannabe dictator, right?

                            I put "support" in quotation marks for a reason, obviously missed by you.
