That does not make the Byzantine Church heretical; it just means modern authorities codified a bad discipline and promoted bad theology in official texts.

Satan (and his minions) infiltrated the Church and started V2. Do you really think they are THAT DUMB as to leave a huge chunk of eastern catholics with PURE Faith, and without pushing the same modernism on them? Of course, they are going to push modernism everywhere.
The idea that there is some utopia of catholicism, in a mainstream way, in the world, is a fantasy.
Catholicism. is. under. attack. everywhere. We are ALL underground. Any "mainstream" church is infiltrated.
