And to those who would dismiss the Coptic Orthodox as schismatics who couldn't possibly have anything to say, that would be worth us as Catholics taking to heart, well, congratulations, you've just put ecumenism through the shredder. Towards a true particular Church (capital C) of apostolic origin, no less.
About the only error, if it can be called that, that they hold, is something about "monophysitism", or "miaphysitism", or something that not one in ten million people could describe to you, and that plumbs the depths of ultimate mystery on top of that. I'd have to leave that to eminent theologians such as Tucho or Roche who, as we should all know by now, have more "discernment" than they know what to do with (they have it, you don't, so just shut up), to figure out and condemn, or affirm, or whatever.
The Copts sound like a pretty sweet bunch to me. Recognizing papal primacy, if they'd still wish to do that after all of this, would probably be a mere administrative matter.
I like the way they elect their Pope. They pick three candidates, put their names in a bowl, and then a little boy is blindfolded and picks out one of the three names.
Maybe we could get them to elect the next one of ours.
