Re: Anathema against filioque, specifically
Look up the Decree of the Council of Blachernae under Patriarch St. Gregory II of Cyprus. Additionally, and more importantly, the issue was specifically addressed at the often called 8th Ecumenical Council in 879-80 with Pope John VIII's legates and St. Photius; it condemned the alteration. In Chris...

Re: Vladimir Moss's Kallinikite-Unia
This paper is actually by Vladimir Moss. The Alexander Miller gentleman is just an uploader of the document to Scribd; he's uploaded several other documents, mostly in Greek and Romanian. When you put a document on your Scribd account it says 'published by'. It also lists a Greek biography of St. Se...

Re: Dogma of Redemption
Philaret, You said: " but a false teaching that REFUSES to be corrected. In other words, there are no accidental heretics." But is this always the case? For example, as far as I understand, Theodore of Mopsuestia died in the 'peace of the Church'; but, his heretical writings and person wer...

Re: Discussion and criticism of GOC-K & SiR Union
If Met. Cyrpian was considered to be consecrated a bishop in schism, and therefore not a true bishop, then he was only a priest; however, if that is the case, was the deposition issued in the late 1980s against so in regards to him being presbyter or bishop? If he was a false bishop, then why depose...

Re: an interpretation of the Calendar issue

Re: Marriage
Read 1 Corinthians 7 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Corinthians+7&version=AKJV No one who repents and wishes to join Holy Orthodoxy can be prohibited from so, no matter the religion of their spouse who is against it. If their spouse disapproves then too bad for the spouse. Sure th...

Re: Marriage
One may say there is a difference between 'sacramental' Marriage, that is the Mystery of Matrimony, and a civil marriage. Civil marriage falls into a general sort of category, that one might call a 'natural' marriage. It is common and 'natural' to all civilizations, religions, etc. However, the Sacr...
