Now Do... Chalcedon

Really solid thread. The “Vatican Catholic” sedevacantists lied in their video on Florence-Ferrara that the union was agreed on by every Patriarchate except that represented by St. Mark of Ephesus. They don’t even know the basics of the topic. https://t.co/nipdE5CdEi

Lord Have Mercy

Your prayers for His Eminence Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia who is now moving into the final stage of this life. Thanks be to God - he is not in severe pain.
He has received anointing and the Holy Mysteries. He is quite calm and repeatedly gives glory to God for all things. pic.twitter.com/VMT1vWmXuN

The One Part of Roman Dogma Concerning Indulgences

that may be unsalvageable is with respect to the pope's authority to grant them, possibly distinct from him having universal jurisdiction over the "Church Militant."

Why Is Faith Important?

An Article on the Syro-Malabar Liturgical Controversies

A liturgy war in India means Catholics are burning cardinals in effigy, priests are going on hunger strikes, and there are riots in the streets.

Guys, you are going to want to read this. I promise.https://t.co/ZtYuR0xH6T

— JD Flynn (@jdflynn) July 20, 2022

Getting the pope involed was the wrong thing to do; his opinion about liturgical uniformity as a means to unity is irrelevant to other jurisdictions, and the Syro-Malabar Christians should have settled this on their own, either with a compromise or with ecclesial sanction, if they couldn't get unanimity on ad orientem worship.

Latin Ecclesiology

St. Pius X:
“we must not place [Pope’s] orders in doubt, adding the facile pretext of those unwilling to obey - that it is not the Pope who commands, but those who surround him; we do not limit the field in which he might and must exercise his authority.” pic.twitter.com/Bdg0TNTHDu
