Talk:Branch theory

message: As far as I know, it wasn't even in communion with the Russian Orthodox Patriarchate until 2007. Their opinions (and 'anathemas') hardly qualify as common Christian Orthodox ground. How about adding something more substantial to the Orthodox stance towards branch theory? 84.254.11.140 (talk) 18:45, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Since when is the ROCOR indicative of Eastern Orthodox consensus?

message: D-class or E-class! I don't believe it! I think it is 90% bogus, a frank and sneaky hoax. The article is mostly lacking references supporting the central discourse, which is that there is a "Branch theory" with adherents in various churches. The "article" uses seemingly relevant references to prove its point, not to support the central discourse. The current article seems like a grave WP:SYNTH. Rursus dixit.

replies: text: The section Protestant claims that the general nonadherence to the doctrine of "apostolic succession" should disqualify it as a branch of "the church". That is either flawed logics - a non-sequitur - or due to that the article over this alleged theory lacks a proper definition. Rursus dixit. (mbork3!) 22:08, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Yet another street-preachers sermon!!

message: This sentence seems dubious:
Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia Archpriest Andrew Phillips wrote:He presents no evidence to support this claim, i.e. a questionable assumption that the metaphor "is unacceptable to  Orthodox and  Roman Catholics". Phillips juxtaposes that with his claim:then Phillips builds a straw man argument that the metaphor of one body breathing with two lungs:that he dispatches his straw man equivocation – of tradition and location – with ease:I could not find a WP:RELIABLE source that discusses or supports that segregation opinion. Phillips then returns to his claim by writing:Phillips presents a bifurcation fallacy, a type of logical fallacy: "Either the Church is Roman Catholicism or else it is Orthodoxy" – the bifurcation excludes the option that it is both. He then proceeds to explain that:Phillips does not present a time frame forI do not think that Phillips is adequate to support the sentence at the top of this section. –BoBoMisiu (talk) 00:11, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
