Are Catholics "heretics" or are Protestants are "heretics"?
As I said it will end in bloodshed.
I’m not sure why you’re dragging the Synod of Hippo into this, but ok.
While heresy is definitional, the application of the term depends on who is doing the applying. So yes, both Catholics and Protestants are heretics in the view of the other franchise, just as Sunnis and Shiites may view each other as heretics (and both may view YOU as a heretic for your rejection of the aHadith). But as I said earlier, a charge of heresy doesn’t - by itself - mean that the heretical view is necessarily wrong. Put another way, you can be declared a heretic and still be right.
Your position that religious conflict leads to bloodshed is roughly on a part with predicting that water is wet.

To prove that "oppression" and "filtering" of certain information/or adding new data, from and to holy books was present and carried on by the "Christian Religious Institution" with both of its Eastern and Western churches.
How does the charge of heresy "fair" in an environment dictated by the strong? any new opinion that doesn't get approval of the "party of priests and the emperor/king" will be "killed and outlawed-butchered".
My position on religious conflict is not built on "religion or even history"; but built on knowledge with the humankind: 2 men that keep arguing will soon explode if the argument is not settled.
