There is no studying the Roman church minus its hisorical context. So, Whatever the chief high commander that is the Roman dictator “THE” pope has lately-est to have said is the law? The truth? The truth and the law? Is his dictatorial authority derived from what Christ said, or what Justinian said? Yeah, objectively one must acknowledge that Los Popes are powerful people of a wast bureaucracy and money laundering criminal enterprise but it becomes a big waste of time to treat them as anything else, or argue with them about their governmental, secularly based operating system. All they will ever do is contradict themselves and try all over again to cite proven forged documents as just cause for their abuse of humanity. Just like any other dictatorship would do.
the issue is all this effing haze- as you well know- that we've been fogged with since, well there's the Reformation and distribution of scriptures to all (who then thought themselves their own popes).
Why though, even the reformation?
that's where Brad reached his own limits in his otherwise worthwhile read,
What Brad couldn't know (for he aligns with Rome), is why the F the Reformers had to do what they did- i.e. the principalities and powers already at work in his church for at least a millennium before that.
*sigh*
it's tiring.
Back to today's haze:
My patron would cut like a knife through butter this fog; his blade split words themselves!
In his defense of the full divinity and equality of our Advocate, with the Father and Only Begotten Son.
(my patron is Vasilios the great of course)
But who reads Basil anymore?
Even among the captives in my own church? We call him great; we honour the three holy hierarchs in name, but never read them or do what they say, do as they did.
No matter.
The day of Nebuchadnezzar us upon us.
Take up the full armor of God, my little brother, and as I know you do: be not afraid.
Fear of God remains as always the beginning of our wisdom.
Neither jot nor tittle has ever passed away from the fullness of our God's witness:
There will be blood. May it all be upon their own heads!
Yours, friend;
