jpod, re. the OP's original question... notice that it is of course an 'institutional question' - the proper appeal to authority is to ask the logically consistent type of expert (ie. a cleric) in a corresponding forum?
As Angilion has probably noticed, the thread question thus likely constitutes the fallacy of appeal to illicit authority. Of course, no fallacy arises if at least one of the thread respondents IS a cleric of the matching religion of the OP.
