Today we cover Lossky’s book Image and Likeness and see the Orthodoxy theology of man and the outworking of the Orthodox doctrine of anthropology. In contrast to the West, the anthropology flows directly from the Triadology and Christology: this means our anthropology is specifically a revealed anthropology, and not a doctrine of philosophical speculation, although […]
A discussion on Uniates and Eastern Catholicism from a former Uniate, Alexander, who moved to Orthodoxy. Our guests recounts his journey in the world of Uniatism, its philosophical and theological incoherence, the many competing claims and rejections of *ecumencial councils* and incoherence of accepting Orthodox saints! Eastern catholicism didn’t begin this nonsense after Vatican 2, either.
Fr.Dcn. Ananias Sorem returns to cover the relationship between Jerusalem and Athens – revelation and reason. Firstly, they are and aren’t in tension – and we’ll see how. Secondly, terms and words are not synonymous – there may be overlap at times, but the meanings of the words are unique in Orthodox theology. Second, we want to look at the Amazon synod, the relationship to Vatican II and perennialism and true and false ecumenism.

For us there are no dialectics: creation is not set against divine energy and presence, but is in fact its intended telos. God thus manifests His uncreated glory in time and space and in multitudes of created forms: upon this hangs the reality of the Gospel and the reality of the Incarnation as a deification of Christ’s humanity, and by extension, us who participate in His deified flesh. Anything else is Arian heresy. Like His humanity or the sacraments, created forms really and truly thus become vehicles of uncreated reality and not ‘created grace.’ The light of Mt.
A reply to various so-called Orthodox and Roman Catholic apologist attempts to reply to my essay. Ultimately these attempts fail because they do not understand hypostatic properties and the orthodox distinctions of will, nature, person and operation.
