Maria, i completely agree with you. That's why i tried to say that sometimes we use same term, but we mean different things.

I'm sorry, you're right, that's very serious.

Re: Lives of the Saints - breaking communion with heretics

Thank you, Jean-Serge, but I need some examples.
By now I know cases of St. Hipatius of Rufinian, St. Maximus the Confessor and St. Theodore the Studite - interesting is that all of them have lived before the I-II Council of Constantinople.

Lives of the Saints - breaking communion with heretics

What examples do you know from the Lives of the Saints who had broken communion with heretics before their synodal condemnation?
