Resurrexi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) You're about as likely to get prayers from him as from Judas Iscariot...

Apotheoun Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 I sense some hostility on your part; so, I will pray that you receive the divine energy of peace from the Holy Spirit, who proceeds ([i]ekporeusis[/i]) from the Father alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvornik's book on St. Photios the Great, and its content is not only far deeper than what the old Catholic Encyclopedia article contains, but it also takes into account information that was not available in the early 20th century. God grant you many happy years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Does that change his being a schismatic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 As much as I recognize and respect all clergy, and especially all bishops as representatives of Christ, I have to acknowledge that the Church in America is consumed with worldiness. No one seems to talk about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dvornik's book. St. Photios' theology is perfectly orthodox, and it is in fact required that Eastern Catholics accept it as such, because to reject it would involve rejecting the teachings of all the Eastern Fathers, both before and after the time of St. Photios. I doubt that you have much knowledge of Eastern theology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 :not touching the Photios issue with a ten foot pole:... needless to say, there's a little ambiguity about who Eastern Catholics in union with Rome recognize as saints... and I imagine Rome's in no hurry to say anything on that matter so you're both prolly going to have to agree to disagree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up where Catholics were outnumbered, but living in San Francisco would be like being under constant attack. It's all the US Military's fault. The Army used the Presidio and the Navy used Treasure Island to house those that were being discharged from the service for being homosexual from WWII until after Vietnam. These guys would get released in San Francisco, and many would be too humiliated to go home, so they stayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be ridiculously hard to live and preach in SF and not succumb to a compromising of one's faith as a way to avoid becoming "the enemy".
