Wow! Good thing I wasn’t comparing Serbia to Israel or Iran, but wartime Germany! Thanks, mysterious stranger! You sure saved me from some embarrassment there!
So? Catholics can’t make war on other types of catholics? History says otherwise.
Anyway, this is a pointless digression and I decline to take it further.
Sure, but the Serbians aren’t Catholics. Now, the Croatians are Catholics, and they did some nasty stuff during the Bosnian war too, so if you had used them as an example, you might have done better, but the Serbians, not so much.
Yes, and you made a complete fool of yourself by saying that Serbia could be more readily classified as “a Catholic nation” than “wartime Germany.”
In point of fact, none of the Serbs are Catholics, whereas a large percentage of Germans were and still are and the leader of Germany was himself a Catholic.
The fact that you don’t seem to realize that the Serbs aren’t Catholic despite being told on multiple occasions is actually quite humorous.
Eastern Orthodox churches actually are Trinitarian Catholic. They are are also called Catholic Orthodox. They aren’t Roman Catholic, but they are Catholic and they call themselves Catholic. Don’t run your mouth if you don’t know what you’re talking about.
They’re not Catholics. There are Eastern Rite Catholics out there, but the Serbian Orthodox aren’t. The Serbian Patriarch is Irenij (Irenaeus), Archbishop of Pec, Metropolitan of Belgrade (by all accounts a good leader and nice guy), and the church is autocephalous.
They may call themselves Catholic, but so do the Episcopalians, and that doesn’t mean they have anything to do with the German guy in Rome.
The Serbs most certainly don’t consider themselves Catholics, their religious leaders regularly condemn Catholics and it’s pretty hilarious to be accused of “running my mouth” about things I don’t understand from someone who thought pre-WWII Germany was a “Catholic nation”.
If they call themselves Catholic, they’re Catholic. The RCC has no ownership of the word.
They are a Catholic Orthodox church. You don’t know what you’re talking about. You should be quiet.
Please provide a link showing leaders of the Serbian Orthodox Church calling themselves “Catholic”.
The wiki article on the Serbian Orthodox Church contains no reference to them calling themselves Catholic.
Captain Amazing has already said you’ve confused them with other Eastern Rite Catholics and since you earlier classified pre-WWII Germany as being a “Catholic nation” it’s apparent you can make mistakes on how some Europeans classify themselves religiously.
Cite:
The Orthodox Church considers itself to be the real Catholic Church and the RCC to be splitters:
Just in case you want to argue about whether Serbian Orthodox is part of the Catholic Orthodox family:
If you don’t know anything about Christian traditions, you shouldn’t pop off at the mouth about them.
He’s incorrect about this. Just because it’s autocephalic doesn’t mean it’s not Catholic Orthodox.
I notice you failed to list any leaders of the Serbian Orthodox Church calling themselves Catholic.
The wiki article on the Serbian Orthodox Church says nothing of the sort either.
Finally, my roommate in college was from Bulgaria and their were several Eastern European students there from Eastern Orthodox countries and whenever they referred to “Catholics” it was obvious they weren’t referring to themselves.
Finally, anyone who claimed, as you did, that pre-WWII Germany was a “Catholic nation” has no business lecturing others about their supposed ignorance regarding Christian denominations.
But given the heroic way that the Catholic Church in Croatia resisted the Nazis during World War II, trying to blame them for the crimes committed by the Nazis would be a remarkably nasty and dishonest thing to do, wouldn’t you agree?
These are both phony criteria. You didn’t really know what the word “catholic” meant and you got busted on it. Just cop to it and move on.
How does that excuse them for persecuting Serbs?
It doesn’t do the cracker a lot of good. 
You proclaimed, “If they say they are Catholic, they are Catholic.”
Ok, please provide a link to a Serb Orthodox leader calling themselves Catholics.
I ask because the Bulgarians and Serbs I knew in college most certainly did not consider themselves Catholics or call themselves Catholics.
Also, since you apparently were under the impression that Germany was “a Catholic nation” I’m a bit amused by your lecturing us on exactly what constitutes a “Catholic”.
You’re going in circles and setting phony criteria. I have already provided the cite that Eastern Orthodox churchs are “Catholic.” You didn’t know what you were talking about. Just cop to it and move on.
Your last point is lame, by the wa,. I already admitted that I made a mistake of sloppy reading. Clinging to that like oxygen is not going to help you. You were wrong. You made an inaccurate statement. I do happen to know a little bit about religion. It was my college major.
Sigh, you specifically claimed that Serbs call themselves Catholics and you have repeatedly refused to provide a single case of Serbs classifying themselves Catholics.
Sorry, but calling the Serbs “Catholics” makes as much sense as calling Canadians and Guatamalans “Americans”.
In fact I’m a bit amused by you’re being so absurdly pedantic about the word “Catholic” since I’ve seen you make reference to “Americans and Mexicans” and “Americans and Canadians”.
Beyond that having a BA in religion hardly makes you infallible and since you’ve recently admitted you were unaware traditional Judaism believed in matrilineal descent and have insisted the Druze and Mandaeans don’t define themselves by their religious beliefs you clearly have gaps in your knowledge and understanding of the world’s religions.
I specifically claimed that Serbian Orthodox is a Catholic Orthodox Church. I made no comment about what they call themselves. You are taking a response I posted to Captain Amazing out of context.
