Fr Seraphim Rose warns of 'correctness disease' when one quotes from the canons, the Fathers and typicon to prove themselves correct. He warns of indulging 'the passion for self-righteousness'. Without awareness of the limits of one's understanding, correctness becomes a disease

Which tradition?
Papanikolaou makes use of MacIntyre regarding traditions; but shouldn't he distinguish between different ecclesial traditions? There is Sacred Tradition (or the Orthodox equivalent) and then there are theological traditions. There may also be theological opinions about moral teaching but that doesn't mean that those opinions do not reflect the Natural Law. Does Papanikolaou accept that there is a Natural Law? What is his take on the moral law as revealed in the Old Testament?
For those who seek to innovate, they must meet the burden of proof.
And there is also the question of what in the Byzantine tradition reflects Sacred tradition and what does not (female deacons, as opposed to
deaconesses).
