Not as Bad as "Monkey Jesus"

While the Ottomans eventually covered the Pantokrator mosaic, it continued to be visible until the 17th century. It was briefly uncovered by the Fossati brothers, who started restoring Hagia Sophia in 1847. This is the crude watercolor made when it was uncovered. pic.twitter.com/uwU1FzPTT9

Some of the Apostolic Churches Might Object to This

"It was in [the Christian Roman Empire] that the rites, beliefs, and political theology of traditional Christianity – for all its later fissures and divisions – were fashioned."

Deserving of a Popular Cult

And the modern Roman saint-making machine wasn't involved in his canonization so there's that for the credibility of the cult.

But this is a take that will be unpopular among the Latin integralists: St. Thomas Becket was a victim of a theology of ecclesial authority that hadn't been fully worked out and yet was nonetheless asserted and practiced as dogma. Was a conflict between a Christian secular authority (especially in the form of a over-grasping monarchy) and ecclesial authority inevitable? Probably. Could it have been resolved by other means? What if the Church had not assisted in the development of Christian monarchy in the first place, and had chosen a different path?

I found this post from The Josias which perfectly reflects how St. Thomas Becket wouuld be portrayed by Latin integralists:

Sacred Art, Maybe, But Not Iconography

Time-bound historical realism over the Eternal Reality Who is Christ.

i love all Virgo Lactans iconography as it is a very Christmasy tradition, but these are my favorite bc they feature our lord horsing around, wiggling, fidgeting, & being otherwise uncooperative, which makes them very relatable from a mom standpoint pic.twitter.com/UYOHVj09js

Anniversary of Religiosam Vitam

22 Dec 1216: Honorius III issues the papal bull Religiosam Vitam, establishing the #Dominican order #otd pic.twitter.com/PMIGZDBlsc

The Dominican Order turns 804 years #OTD. A number of years ago I had a chance to see the papal bull (Religiosam vitam) of 22 Dec 1216 by Honorius III approving Dominic's community. The papal seal is still intact and the document is in very good shape at the library in Toulouse. pic.twitter.com/SJChNFu0GC

The Source of the Tweet May be Probelmatic

But the thesis on"Western Church history" is interesting. Is St. Augustine the primary Latin source for its "ontology of Holy Orders"? And is Latin "theology of the priesthood" based upon St. Augustine solely, or are there other Latin fathers who are sources for it?

Cassian bought the mystical theology of the Egyptian Desert as described by Evagrius of Pontus to southern France. He adapted this desert mysticism to appeal to Latin Europeans. Reforming old monasteries and building new ones. Thus beginning the Gothic revolution. pic.twitter.com/oURBEgWWGs

Cassian's master was Evagrius of Pontus d399CE. Over 15 years Evagrius had interviewed & documented the greatest of the Egyptian-desert mystics. He was meticulous & thorough. A brilliant psychologist. He cataloged 9 Logosmoi, which became Cassian's 8 passions & Gregory's 7 vices. pic.twitter.com/wIMQ8EHrI3

Book of Leo

The so-called "Book of Leo" is an obscure work of some importance in the development of contemporary integralism. It used to be very difficult to find, but I've just discovered that the first chapters have actually been available online since 2016: https://t.co/7rjnRYfGF8

DeVille Reviews Guckin's Book on the Orthodox Church

CWR: New history of the Eastern Orthodox Church is often superb, sometimes lacking by Adam DeVille John Anthony McGuckin’s The Eastern Orthodox Church: A New History is often thrilling and informative, but is lacking when it comes to the papacy, anti-Catholicism, and Islam.
