Intercession and Sacrifice

Problematic Western Christianity. Suffering is a means of purification and greater charity, but it is charity which makes intercession powerful.

“...real intercession is sacrificial; we have made little progress in prayer if it never hurts.”

What Sort of Interfaith Dialogue?

Sandro Magister: Why in Iraq the Pope Had To Keep Quiet About the Jews

Meanwhile, from Jerusalem, Israeli rabbi David Rosen, a leading figure in the dialogue with the Catholic Church, told “Asia News”:

“The visit by Pope Francis is linked to the Declaration on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi two years ago. I am happy about this gesture and I hope it will bear fruit. From my perspective, however, I also hope that this path will further expand, because at present, it is still an initiative only between Christians and Muslims. I am happy that it now involves the whole Islamic world. Still, it would also be important for the recognition of fraternity include an official Jewish representative. This is not only because of the deep bond that exists with Christianity, but also because of what it would mean for Islam. Until we don’t get one, a declaration on fraternity will lay open to the risk of being misinterpreted.”

How acceptable is this opinion?

Another Bergoglio Presser

Sandro Magister: Back from Iraq: "What Touched Me Most..."

As he formulates it, it is full of errors and exaggerations:

FRATERNITY IS NOT A HERESY

The Abu Dhabi document of February 4 [2019] was prepared with the Grand Imam [of Al-Azhar] in secret, for six months, by praying, reflecting, correcting the text. It was - it’s a bit presumptuous, take it as a presumption - a first step, […] this [with Al-Sistani] would be the second and there will be others. It is important, the path of fraternity. […] Ayatollah Al-Sistani has a phrase that I try to remember well: men are either brothers by religion or equal by creation. Fraternity is equality, but we cannot go below equality. I believe it is also a cultural path. Let’s think of us Christians, of the Thirty Years War, of St. Bartholomew's night, to give an example. Let's think about this. How the mentality changes among us. Because our faith lets us discover that it is this, the revelation of Jesus is love, and charity leads us to this. But how many centuries to realize it! […] This is an important thing, human fraternity, that as men we are all brothers, and we must move forward with the other religions. […] You are human, you are a child of God, you are my brother, period. This would be the greatest guideline, and many times one has to take risks to take this step. There are some criticisms: that the pope is not courageous, he is reckless, that he is taking steps against Catholic doctrine, that he is one step away from heresy... There are risks. But these decisions are always made in prayer, in dialogue, asking for advice, in reflection. They are not a whim, and they are also the approach that the Council taught.

Paul J. Griffiths, Regret

German theologians do not even know who #Griffith is rather read open theism articles from the 1980s. #German #theology #regret https://t.co/7qp2gyx9Jo

An Office of a Centralized Papacy

Vatican doctrinal office is ‘no longer the Inquisition,’ cardinal says.

Rather, its main focus is handing down the teachings of the apostles, said the office’s prefect.https://t.co/MUhWFUhyqC pic.twitter.com/5dJWyCrU9O

Milbank's "Orthodoxy"

The real orthodoxy: to see how one can further elucidate Anselm with Kabbalah etc. God’s loving will to save each one of us is inseparable from his vindication, even ‘restoration’ (though immediate) of his own nature as loving. Why atonement not just act of his will was needed.

St. Theophan the Recluse on Self-Abasement

From vanity and conceit arise a host of proud thoughts, which are abhorrent to God. Self-knowledge and the experience of our insignificance can be of help here. We should often bring to mind mistakes we’ve made in the past and criticize ourselves over them.https://t.co/laumv3b2wr

Is this excessive? Humility must be balanced by trust in God and His work in us?

Some Will Say That This is Enough on Müller's Part

"Tact" in light of ultramontanism and all that.

Cardinal Müller expressed sympathy for those sounding the alarm about the #GreatReset and recalled that totalitarian systems “have always denigrated any criticism as conspiracy and subversion” https://t.co/iRhrywjFzy @NCRegister

— Edward Pentin (@EdwardPentin) February 4, 2021

Perhaps the most significant danger of the #GreatReset initiative is its utopian-atheistic vision, according to critics. @ProfKlausSchwab and Malleret, for instance, never once mention God or religion in their book, or leave any room for the transcendent https://t.co/iRhrywjFzy

Sources say Pope Francis is considering Cardinal Cupich to replace Ouellet as prefect of the Congregation for Bishops due to his higher profile and “the message that his appointment would deliver regarding the type of bishops he wants for the Church.”https://t.co/1KxvEaNded

Can't recommend this issue; the essays are naive explanations of solidarity that do not critically examine the assumption of the state and community.

Where is the Prophet Elijah

Since the prophet’s death is not mentioned in the Old Testament, but the Prophet Elijah ascended up to heaven, one may ask, “Did he die like all people or is he still alive today?"#orthodox_times https://t.co/v6nfekfYOR
