and both the Copts and Roman Catholics don't agree there's only 7. the EOs and RCs agree that there aren't only 3. But I think Stuart hit on the thing we can all agree on: that there haven't been 22.

And if, in a few hundred years, pigs learn to fly, what would that prove? Getty a pig to fly is quite simple. It's simply a matter of applying sufficient thrust . . .

What is the ballistic coefficient of a pig?

Actually pigs, if they fold their legs properly, are quite aerodynamic. Also they are relatively easy to train. The difficult part is getting the rocket engines properly attached so they don't slip off the back.

We get a pig to fly, and now you get persnickety about *where* it's going to fly.
It's like the dancing bear . . .

I confess I do not understand your question completely That's alright, they were all rather pointless actually.

That's alright, they were all rather pointless actually. I would hardly call them pointless, although they did get a bit impractical. For example, your follow-up question -- after I said "The majority of Catholics consider Ineffabilis Deus to be an ex cathedra statement because Pope John Paul II said it was" you asked "And why do they think that?"

The question is what would the common perception be of the post schism conciliar tradition that would lead them to believe the way that dogma was proclaimed made sense. Or in other words, what was the context for the proclamation of the dogma. I grant you that may be because "the Pope said it" and there isn't much more to it.
Anyway, it's a pointless question and I don't think people actually care.
Whatever the post schism conciliar tradition is to me remains a mystery.
