if you want to get into religious history, most christian variants 
saw themselves as "true christians" and all other christian beliefs 
as "heretical" .... generally the farther away from the politics (ie: 
"Rome") the more likely you were to be branded a heretic ... used to 
have many spirited conversations along these lines with one of my 
many treasured mentors, who happened to be a Jesuit. 

for the record, i highly recommend historical, philosophical, and 
theological discussions with Jesuits ... *very* informative.
