Of course, you are right. But mad anti-trinitarian ideologues, who enter this NG
frothing at the mouth with insane accusations against the life-saving dogma of
the Trinity and even against all Trinitarians, will not hesitate from slandering
the sainted Emperor in this way. Why would they, when they are so willing to
call all the rest of us 'apostates', 'pagans' and 'idolators'? Why would they,
when they are willing to rewrite history and even Scripture itself to support
their own narrow-minded, fanatically anti-christian view?

I hope you will feel free to treat this topic at more length, explaining what
the Emperor was _really_ doing when he convoked the Council. You have done this
well before.
