ReplyDeleteAs we know we’re not the church of pronouncements... if you ignore every liturgy, every council, every book of the Bible...
DeleteOne of the ways that error has triumphed so easily in the modern Roman Catholicism is this idea that it is difficult or even impossible to determine what the church teaches. That mentality erodes any claim to epistemological certitude, which in the case of morality and other settled doctrines, undermines the entire edifice of the church.
DeleteSo it is disconcerting to see this newly elected Orthodox bishop begin his answer with that same, erroneous assertion.
I heard that he is a committed ecumenist, a big time supporter of the Cretan Robber Council, and a former instructor at Fordham.
