A Foolish Attempt at Reform

That would disacredit any legitimate attempts at localized reform, including the election of clergy. Before such measures can be implemented there must be attention to the proper scale and a development of true mutual accountability as well as a life in common. Leave it to the Germans to pursue false "democratization" that will just speed the death of the German Catholic churches.

— Mystagogy (@mystagogy1) February 3, 2021

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

... 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.

Ethiopian Icons

The most important form of #Ethiopian art are #icons: painted images of Christ, Mary or saints, usually on wood.

Icons that are associated with healing powers are only displayed during annual festivals, natural disasters or pandemics.
