"You may say you believe X, but let me tell you, it's really Y" is a shit tier argument and I hope you know that.

No, that's not my argument. I'm not trying to say what *reality* is. Catholics are free to consider themselves monotheists by their own definitions. Jews and Protestants are free to consider what Catholics do, but THEIR own definitions, as not being monotheistic. /1

Accepting the Catholic definition as definitive requires accepting numerous principles of Catholic theology (e.g., that trinitarianism is NOT polytheism) that are simply not universally agreed upon. /2

Same. Sorry for being unnecessarily hostile.

No worries at all, my man. :) The hostility just makes me take it more seriously and be more precise in my phrasing. I find it intellectually bracing!

Ok, but you're one of my fave mutuals and I should have known you were arguing in good faith. I was clearly in the wrong.

My only excuse is I was educated by Jesuits and my casuistry detector is overly sensitive.

No excuse necessary! I actually find the theological metaphysics of Catholicism, in particular, rather fascinating (both historically & chain of reasoning), but it's completely anthropological to me. Plus, as an INTJ borderline-sperg, I often forget others' emotional valence.

IIRC there is a much higher % of Catholic-Jewish marriage than Prot-Jewish,and I think it's because both faiths have an infinitely deep history of theological investigation.

yeah, much prot theology is, like Mormon theology, not so nuanced or deep.

It's actually remarkably similar to Islamic theology. Sola fide, emphasis on God's alientation from man, etc

But yeah, I have much less respect for the theology of Mormons, Prots, and Muslims, than Orthodoxy, Jews, and my own.
