Any thoughts on Newman's statement?
When I read the writings of the fathers I do not find them to be Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox. Not really. I find it a confused muddle of believers striving for orthodoxy, often citing scripture, especially in the 4th century when tradition(s) were getting out of hand. I see a State interfering in church business and directing Bishops and clergy on what they should believe and how they should act.
Yours in the Lord,
