Here is the impass. We are studying two different things. I'm studying theology and you are studying sectionalism.
By the way, I HAVE studied non-Catholic and non-Christian sources, sociology, anthropology, philosophy, theology, mythology, etc. I also have studied enough of any of the social sciences to know that two sources are not enough to say that you know enough on a subject to argue it. I still highly recommend reading the Church Fathers, Doctors of the Church, etc to really get a good idea about Catholicism - and basically you are also saying that all Eastern Orthodox (Russian, Greek, etc) churches are also not Christian as they have almost the exact same faith as Catholics so (and by Catholics I mean Roman, Russian, Armanian, etc). Something to think about. To understand a faith, study its theology and its early leaders. . . .
