Here is your last post. Nothing there about said non-approval..Also you need to brush up on "Orthodoxy"..Do you cosider the Immaculate Conception something substantial?How about Purgatory? Original sin? The Filioque? The indissolubility of marriage? The Church councils?
I meant my post on Mogg and Canterbury Cathedral. If you bother to look, I say “I most certainly do not approve of Mogg getting married at Canterbury Cathedral or with an N. O Mass. ”Also your latest post shows you know very little about Orthodoxy. Typical claims made about Orthodoxy by Trads who don’t actualy know any Orthodox. Here are some corrections1. The Orthodox do not deny the Immaculate Conception. They view Mary as “All Pure” They just say it isn’t needed, because their understanding of Original Sin is not Augustinian. No serious Orthodox would ever say that Mary was a sinner in any way.2. The Orthodox do not deny Purgatory. They just have serious issues with the Medieval understanding of Purgatory( as do I) The Orthodox are not like Protestants. They do believe that there is a state after death and before Heaven for some, but they refuse to speculate about it. Trent says that we can not know the nature of Purgatory, so no disagreement there.3. As far as Original Sin is concerned, the Orthodox follow the Eastern Fathers instead of Augustine. They will say that we are left with the effects of Original Sin after the fall, but they dislike speaking of “guilt” when it comes to Original Sin. Even so, some Orthodox theologians will say that we are guilty of Adam’s sin only by analogy, and that’s essentially what the Church teaches( we certainly aren’t personally guilty of Adam’s own sin) the Catholic Encyclopedia article on Original Sin goes into the technical aspects of the Church’s teaching.4. The Filioque is a very, very complex topic to get into. It’s not even worth discussing if you haven’t had at least some formal study of theology. The problem the Orthodox seem to have is not so much with the teaching itself, but with the fact that it was added to the Creed. Say what you will, but the Church has more or less conceded this by allowing Eastern Catholics not to say the Filioque in the Creed. 5. Traditionalist Orthodox view marriage more or less the same way as Catholics. A “divorce” for them would be the equivalent of an anullment in the Catholic Church. Traditional Orthodox bishops would only allow them in extreme situations. Remember, I specifically said Traditional Orthodox. They have their liberals, but so does the Church. If you want an educated Catholic prospective on Orthodoxy, I’d recommend the work of Fr. Aidan Nichols O. Phttp://www.christendom-awake.org/pages/anichols/orthodox.html
That's all well and good, but isn't it Church teaching that the Orthodox and all other schismatics are damned?
The more you write the more you prove that you are not Catholic. For good reason your reputation vote score is strongly negative.
