No, I have not gone deeply into the traditional Catholic materials - I guess the river just hasn't yet gone in this direction. <br /><br />I have read something - I think it dates to the late nineteenth century - stating that a return to Thomistic natural law is necessary. Am I remembering this correctly?bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-1023273036282483972021-09-16T06:40:10.230-07:002021-09-16T06:40:10.230-07:00BM, I don't remember if you've posted on i...BM, I don't remember if you've posted on it, but have you gone into any of the traditionalist Catholic materials, i.e., pre-Vatican II? Catechism of the Council of Trent, the anti-modernist writings by the late 19th and early 20th century popes, etc.? And I don't mean just Augustine and Acquinas, but the actual Church teachings, really a deep dive into the doctrine and precepts of the faith? I'm getting the focus on Orthodoxy is leaving a lot out, particularly when the fight over indulgences, papal authority, and the Great Schism keeps coming up. There's a lot of material and ideas beyond these topics. The legalism of the Church is fascinating, see sedevacantism. Regarding this post, there's doctrinal reasons why the various Protestant denominations drive to "return" to the atmosphere of the Patristic period is erroneous. Please don't take this as me accusing you of anything, and if this study has been done, forgive me for not being up on all of your writings.<br /><br />As for the Venn diagram, I'd offer that pre-Vatican II, the Latin Church would have no overlap with the Orthodox Churches and the Protestants with regard to centralization and pluralization. The Latin Church was regular and uniform throughout all of the nations that it preached to. A Catholic could be in anywhere in the world and worship in the same way without issue be they in Europe, Asia, Africa, or North America. The Orthodox by their inception have been divergent based on cultural traditions; the worship of the Greek, Russian, Ukranian, and other Orthodox denominations are all exceedingly different, despite a common rite of worship. The entire goal of Protestantism is plurality; it branches outward by design as opposed to coming together.<br /><br />Post-Vatican II, the Latin Church has become more Protestant, to its detriment. It is exceedingly difficult for Catholics to worship in a uniform way outside of his own parish.Dr. Weezilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08100872384842284034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-24309821918445875772021-09-16T05:14:07.177-07:002021-09-16T05:14:07.177-07:00As I suggested, a Venn diagram would be interestin...As I suggested, a Venn diagram would be interesting, and complicated.<br /><br />In this article, I only noted some commonalities, not a detailed study.bionic mosquitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002548958078731031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-62976193774933774022021-09-15T19:04:35.557-07:002021-09-15T19:04:35.557-07:00Since it was mentioned, for a short overview of th...Since it was mentioned, for a short overview of the Orthodox teaching on the Holy Eucharist/Lord's Supper:<br /><br />http://deathtotheworld.com/articles/the-bread-the-wine-and-the-mode-of-being/Walt Garlingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06960981300770685320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-19870118154854901072021-09-15T18:34:46.885-07:002021-09-15T18:34:46.885-07:00The Orthodox Liturgy and the traditional Roman Cat...The Orthodox Liturgy and the traditional Roman Catholic Mass are more similar than any Protestant service. And the Orthodox traditionally accepted the 'Pope', the Bishop of Rome, as the first among equals. No Protestant would ever accept this. And take into consideration that both the Orthodox and Catholic exist side by side for over a millennium. Even the Great schism was not necessarily permanent. And finally, no Orthodox would ever agree that sola scriptura was a valid way to determine Christian teaching. Both Orthodoxy and Catholocism are centred around the Apostolic Tradition.Gandalfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529730146950715010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-648884752216444797.post-90490628539526862032021-09-15T11:59:13.958-07:002021-09-15T11:59:13.958-07:00Wycliffe and Hus are my two favorite characters in...Wycliffe and Hus are my two favorite characters in church history. William Tyndale would be third. I think it was Tyndale who finished Wycliffe's English translation work and published the first bible in English. He was executed for that. Wycliffe was executed because he died before the Roman church could get to him. So they exhumed his body, burned it and cast his ashes into a river. I think the Thames, but I don't remember. If memory serves me correctly the phrase "your goose is cooked" was originally something church leaders told Hus's followers to announce that he had been burned at the stake.<br /><br />To me these are all giants of the faith.RMBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13603112499567064214noreply@blogger.com
