Re: Cord Blood

I started to look around for some more articles to see what has been said about whether the Fathers, when speaking of the heart, really referred to the physical heart or to a non-physical, spiritual heart. I haven't really found much online, but I did find something else on orthodoxinfo from Fr. Joh...

Yes, but at that time the Church was not infected with ecumenism and heresy. So I think the old calendarists in their zeal went overboard in declaring the new calendarists without grace. I don't believe there was sufficient evidence to warrant such a position. The Church was never based or built on...
