Byzantine Soteriology

Rooted in Scripture...

And thus all who are in Him may become one with God, being healed of their sin and corruption, freed from demonic domination and granted eternal life in the resurrection. 6/

The Feast of the Annunciation

Today is the crown of our salvation, and the unfolding of the eternal mystery; the Son of God becomes the Virgin’s Son, and Gabriel brings the good tidings of grace. With him let us also cry to the Mother of God: rejoice, Full of grace! The Lord is with you. (Troparion, Tone 4) pic.twitter.com/BAJpJihQXJ

Papism as the Oldest Protestantism by St. Justin Popovic

Speaking of the Pope: "Papism indeed is the most radical Protestantism, because it has transferred the foundation of Christianity from the eternal God-Man to ephemeral man."https://t.co/vNoh9Wm7Sg

Squishy, Not Pastoral

Cdl Schönborn "not happy" about CDF clarification on same-sex blessings, saying if request "isn't a show" or "coronation of an external ritual" but God's blessing on "whatever situation" couple is trying to walk, then "they'll not be denied this blessing" https://t.co/qCuRsKZLnz

A Right Emphasis?

There is a sense of co-redeemer that is dependent upon her being the Theotokos, but there is another sense of co-redeemer that includes it but does not necessarily need that, and this sort of role is possible for all who are adopted in Christ.

At this morning’s general audience, Pope Francis said that Jesus entrusted the Virgin Mary to us as a Mother, “not as co-redeemer.” https://t.co/iidMpfS0GD

Why, Indeed?

When the PBC isn't advancing something progressive, it's back to being "unauthoritative."

Why is there no English translation of the Papal Biblical Commission's text on Biblical Anthropology (2019)?
No German translation either - that is telling. Perhaps pressure from groups around Cupich, Tobin and Marx? @cnalive @cworldreport https://t.co/11KvZnav2n

"Conservatism"

Gratitude is a central virtue for the noble life in general. It is time to stop talking about "conservatism"; others have already been talking about virtue ethics and the natural law, and the label "conservative" no longer means anything.

"Conservatism is built on gratitude. The conservative prioritizes the wisdom of tradition. He understands that he does not know more than the wealth of knowledge that has been passed down to him." - @mrJSDavenport for @ubookman: https://t.co/JCq9T0Ezmx. pic.twitter.com/EdJ0zJ7Ub9
