Fr Richard Price is not an art historian, failed to cite art historians, and contradicts himself when he claimed that iconodulia did non exist in the fourth century while simultaneously (and emphatically) affirming the authenticity of Epiphanius saying everyone venerated icons.
Orthodox should read Newman’s Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, if for no other reason, than to put this argument to bed. Catholics like to call up Newman while conveniently ignoring how his seven principles are ignored, particularly by Vatican II.
The architects of Vatican II described the work in the terms he ruled out. Ratzinger called key documents a counter-syllabus reconciling the Church with the era of 1789 and said the bastions had to be razed. Suenens called the council the French Revolution in the Church. Congar spoke of its October Revolution. This is explicitly what Newman cautioned against.
On its own merits, Vatican II fails Newman’s seven tests.
I hate the version that was explained to me by people who had seen their parents and grandparents dragged into the street and shot or disappeared in the middle of the night.
“Unanimously, the Greek patristic tradition, in contrast to St. Augustine, emphasizes that what the descendants of Adam inherit is not his personal sin and his guilt for it, but his diseased and mortal nature. Adam’s personal sin and guilt burden only him; not his descendants.”
- Dr. Georgios Martzelos, “Original Sin according to the Orthodox Tradition.”
The devil is very crafty. He is constantly trying to find a weak spot in everybody. Guarding your mind and your thoughts is the most important thing.
Saint Paisios of Mount Athos
@InspiringPhilos He committed theft. The information is out. Before anyone comes for my head, I prayed for his daughter. We can call out a wrongdoing without being gaslit that it's not happening.
Who was the first Protestant?
The Pope, of course.
The pope who added unilaterally to the creed. Sergius IV, in 1009.
And then the next pope who publicly confessed something that the church never confessed in the first thousand years in the creed.
These popes ands the subsequent popes were the first Protestants. They revolted against all of the other bishops, protesting and innovating, and did not listen to the Synods and Church, and started their own church, off on their own, apart from all their other brother bishops.
They became the prototypes of all the reformed Protestants who came later.
On Catholicism our Press has produced about 10 books over the past 5 years drawing on the sources - Fathers and saints - and conciliar decisions:
