Latin Gerondism?

Withdrawing From the World to Save It by Thomas Griffin

What is useful in the rule for the laity is whatever immediately reflects life in Christ; there is an analogue between living in a monastic community and political community, but political community must be explained on its own terms. And hence the Rule of St. Benedict by itself is insufficient to provide that sort of guidance for lay people.

Holy Anthony of Kiev

Venerable Father Anthony, leading a life equal to that of angels you came to Kyiv. Living there, you enlightened your fatherland, pointing the way to the Kingdom to many monks and nuns and thus you led your homeland to Christ. Pray to Christ that He save our souls. pic.twitter.com/Qa9ZziwAZ1

The Mind of Christ

NEW EPISODE: But We Have the Mind of Christ

LISTEN: https://t.co/tI2iFMgjyk

According to the Bible, how do we know things? What exactly is the mind? What is consciousness? What are thoughts, and how do they work? And what does knowledge do to someone? 1/2 @ancientfaith pic.twitter.com/otSR6n1Pfc

Protesting the Limits of the Authority of the Patriarch of Rome

After all, one could say that this authority of the bishop of Rome with respect to the Roman rite applies only to the authority that he has over the Roman rite and the patriarchate of Rome, and that this authority could be limited or modified.

What Paul VI did to the liturgy of the [Church] was a tectonic shift, an unprecedented assault on tradition—& therefore truly wrong, unworthy of the papacy, incompatible with the duties of the papal office, wicked in the way in which treason is wicked.https://t.co/ZhWnEFPoIT

Latin Unitarianism

Our friendship with God does not depend on our goodness, or anything we could possibly earn. It is rooted in God’s great and mysterious love. The same love that led him to lay down his life for all of us.

"Climate Change"

WHY IS NOBODY TALKING ABOUT GREENLAND? IT’S GAINING RECORD AMOUNTS OF SNOW & ICE

We've had some 40+ years of CAGW now, but even the staunchest of climateers will still struggle to point to a single real-world observation that demonstrates its existence. https://t.co/AcU6AyufMC

The Importance of Music to the Human Person

"In some mysterious way, human beings have sensed intuitively that music is of the very nature of God.... What is that mysterious way by which music reflects the God that we Orthodox know to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life?" https://t.co/KlyiTSLhRA
