So-yes-I disagree-as I cannot predict the future.
I am glad you are a prophet-congratulations to you.

I see that I have offended you. I am sorry for that. I do not intend to insult nor denigrate, but to show a difference between the institutions in relation to the role of the leading position, Prophet and Pope. I think the original context of my first comment shows no hard feelings or negativism toward your church. Indeed, I truly do respect the Catholic church.

I do not feel it takes a prophet to see that due to the oppositional doctrinal positions of the two churches regarding Donatism, that these scenarios are reasonable and, in fact, have occurred and will most likely continue to occur, as circumstances arise, based on well accepted doctrine.

I'm sorry you object.
