Agree or Disagree?

And thus the angels were astonished (as the Greek Fathers insisted) to see this unexpected kinship between the eternity of God and the ‘it has happened’ of time and of the flesh. They do not possess thus kinship. And this is why deified humanity is raised above them.

Restore the Sarum Use!

This is why the Scots hierarchy were actually offered Restoration of the Sarum Use in 1878 by Leo XIII - but the Bishops rejected it because by that time the faithful had become used to the Roman books introduced by Jesuits and Irish clergy. A catastrophe.

German Bishops Seeking Justification for Their Own Behavior?

#German bishops are 'shamed' of #Catholic #sexual teaching, want to affirm that sex outside marriage is 'not always wrong'. A friend estimated that half of them have affairs on the side - 20yrs ago I could not have believed it - today I am convinced. #SynodalWay https://t.co/6MaTb5Er83

Massive Cope

Post conciliar eras tend to be messy as the Church grapples with its implications/ applications. Contentious issues are often not defined or need further explication. But we trust in the Holy Spirit & the promise of Jesus. Those suspicious of VII would do well to remember this. https://t.co/1PKPvzoYJx

Again, I don't think Vatican II is that problematic, but Latins trying to hide from reality through their claim that their council was ecumenical need to question that assumption.

An angel in the flesh and the cornerstone of the prophets, the second forerunner of the coming of Christ, glorious Elijah sent grace from on high to Elisha, to dispel diseases and to cleanse lepers.

What About the Loss of Greek as the Language of the Church?

Very interesting about Muratori. On the other hand the loss of Latin as the language of the Church has created a harmful discontinuity in the Catholic tradition. It encourages other kinds of innovation and leads to a loss of theological concord. https://t.co/sXHS94mChf

— eburke (@JamesWHankins1) July 20, 2021

The theological divide between the Latins and the Greeks could have been avoided if the Latins had just retained Greek. Instead, they chose not to act as adults and communicate with charity in spite of linguistic differences, although the Greeks probably had the better of the argument.

Vulnerability?

Many misunderstand talk about #Jesus' "sacrifice on the cross." In order to forgive, #God has to be affected by sin in #vulnerability. #Forgiveness is therefore infinitely more valuable than a pardon, which God could have granted easily.https://t.co/qRarPwkBKN pic.twitter.com/Opaw8fiND6
