Metropolitan Sotirios represents that overducated but unthinking hyper-rationalism that seeks to take away from tradition, rather than serving tradition. His three purposes of prayer relate to the order of intention, and do not need to be explicitly verbalized for the intentions to be present.

Regarding the name of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, both names together call to the mind the whole Trinity but the name of Jesus by itselfshould remind us of Trinity, as the Son is the Father's accomplishing of salvation for us, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

This is Gerondism

Simplistic solutions to pastoral problems that require more than quotations from monastics.

... If he doesn’t “love” her, the wife will not obey him. If the man does not heed this word, he is responsible for the woman’s obstinacy. Thus, he has to love her by all means.

More pastorally questionable pontificating:

1/2: The woman has to live in harmony with her husband. They have to work together for the supreme goal: salvation. The woman is the heart of the family, as the man is the head of the family. If there’s no heart, the head is empty...

But What Is He Doing to Promote Liturgical Aestheticism?

Sertillanges Was Wrong About the Nation(-State)

He wasn't critical enough in his assumptions or first principles.

Note that Sertillanges, as orthodox a Thomist as there ever was, took for granted that there is such a thing as a nation, a family of families, bounded within borders, a reasonable object of natural political attachment.

Modern cosmopolitan theory didn’t enter his mind.

Two-Pronged Attack

But Latins have already capitulated to feminism; how can they resist the latest from feminists? For too long they relied on institutional scale and now they will suffer the consequences of a church of numbers.

One of the Catholic Church’s most visible nuns has said the push for women’s priestly ordination in the Catholic Church points to a deeper question that needs to be asked and stressed the need to separate ordained ministry from decision-making.https://t.co/1MgjFxK0cC
