good points, O.

IIRC, at all (most?) early church councils, some minority perspective was declared a heresy and kicked out and the words of the creed associated with the council (or tweaks to a previous creed) were such that the heretics could not say it and be honest.

Eusebius, again IIRC, the famous early church historian, was a member of a group that was later declared to be a heresy, so some questioned if using is history was a good thing. This also raised the question about those who had died in the faith, but the group they were in was now declared not in the faith, and what happened to them now? Were they heretics or not?
