Church of the East!
Hello, I'm @ChenHuailun and I'll be continuing to tweet about Christianity in Tang China. Yesterday, I introduced the Xi'an stele and its narration of Christianity's entrance into Chang'an. Today I'll continue the story and add some of its context. ~ahc #jingjiao /1 pic.twitter.com/KLJDRsdts4

Recep Maraşlı on the Assyrians
"Assyrians are the nation that has lost the most territory in the Middle East. Throughout history, they have experienced the most dreadful massacres and genocides. They have severely suffered from persecution as a result of Islam’s expansion by the sword." https://t.co/LddyYEWMkP

Is There an Ur Tradition?
Latin polemics against Orthodox tradition on divorce and remarriage generally focus exclusively on the Byzantines, arguing that the tradition was a human innovation arising from capitulation to human weakness and state pressure or accomodation. Those polemicists do not look at divorce and remarriage within the Oriental Orthodox and Assyrian Churches.
So I took a quick look -- it appears that there is ecclesiastical divorce (and remarriage) in at least the Assyrian, Armenian, Syro-Malankara/Syriac Orthodox, and Coptic Churches. So how would the Latins respond to that? Most likely: "Only Rome has maintained the purity of the Apostolic Tradition, because the pope is the sucessor of St. Peter!"
Is the origin of the Latin tradition on divorce and remarriage linked to the origin of the Latin tradition on clerical continence/celibacy? Latin polemicists, again: "Apostolic Tradition!"

Ethiopian and Assyrian Ecclesiologies of the First Millenium
Rod Dreher: The Age Of Antichrist by ROD DREHER
When the papacy, the second principle of Latin ecclesiology seems like it is about to fail as a principle because of a bad pope, Latins declare that we are in the end times. Maybe they should just reconsider their ecclesiology and how rooted it is in Tradition.
