I wish people wouldn't result to the term Papist. When Roman Catholics read that they usually have quite a negative reaction, and if we are trying to witness Orthodoxy to Roman Catholics we should do everything in our power to not offend them unnecessarily!

So what term do you use, anastasios?
I've tried "Vaticanites", "Papalists", "Formerly-Orthodox Catholics" - Nothing seems to please them.
