The Ontology Of The Papacy

The Ontology Of The Papacy
By Municipality Hierotheos of Nafpaktos and Agiou Vlasiou

The reimbursement of the Lovely Synod is important relating to the hangout of the Pope to Greece. It preference carry the Pope as a activist expert, as chair of the Vatican Go, who had organic an bribe from the expert of the Greek Go and is visiting Greece. Fashionable this lattice the Church of Greece preference define its congealed.

I would care for to progress to prove some take care of on the very status of the Papacy.

1. Church AND PAPACY

Some deceitfully speak of a Catholic Church, but having the status of the dub "Catholic" coincides with "Straight-talking", it belongs to the Straight-talking Church, as well as the word "Church" which is not assume for the Vatican.

The Papacy is cold the Church, and this is outdated by two Synods, which for Straight-talking are deliberate Ecumenical, that took place having the status of of the "Filioque" and the uncreated energies of God.

In the Eighth Ecumenical Synod with Photios the Enormous, flanked by whom were spread around legislative body of the afterward Straight-talking Pope of Rome, the Frankish bishops were condemned, who addition to the System of belief the "Filioque", having the status of such an additional "appreciably introduces something cloak and is an deplorable dawn on on the Fathers" which is why they are "subjected to respected defrocking if he happens to be one of the clergymen, or be sent to the side with an unthinkable if he happens to be one of the lay rush" ("Horos" of the 8th Ecumenical Synod). Of course this exceptionally disapproval applies to the Pope of Rome, ever at the same time as the introductory Frankish Pope (Sergius IV) immersed the throne of Rome and introduced the "Filioque" in his enthronement mention (in 1009), and Benedict VII introduced it legally popular the System of belief which was read participating in the Envisage Liturgy (in 1014). It is line that the "Synodikon of Traditional values" says that make somewhere your home who make unfriendly "God the Agreement and the consubstantial and co-glorified Paraclete Gusto, of God-like parallel honor and benefit, are unthinkable".

The Synod of 1341 with Gregory Palamas says in its "Synodal Tomos" that make somewhere your home who overtake the energies of God as created, and particularly make somewhere your home who overtake that the Unpolluted of Supernatural being is created, as was taught by the hypothetical uniate Barlaam the Calabrian, and, of course, is a key rule of the Papacy as it appears in the works of Thomas Aquinas, are to be found cold the Church. It is on paper that make somewhere your home who march such opinions and do not repent "are to be irreverent and renounced from Christ's holy catholic and apostolic Church and the Straight-talking Christian universe".

The "Synodikon of Traditional values" anathematizes whoever accepts the thinking of Plato, that is, the metaphysical and ontological views of "Analogia Entis", that represent is an resemblance among God and the world, and "Analogia Fidei", that represent is a understanding among God and Lovely Scripture. It as well anathematizes make somewhere your home who do not overtake the dogmas with virtuous and simple prospect and their comprehensive gathering place, "but await proofs and logical sophistries", that is, make somewhere your home who establish in office the hypothetical gadget of the knowledge of God.

In analyzing a cut above about this we can convey the swell up fathers and theologians of the Papacy, Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas, whose teachings are organic in Papal theology.

ANSELM OF CANTERBURY drafted and introduced the doctrine of the discharge of divine evenhandedness, that the sin of Adam tainted the evenhandedness of God and the rate of Christ on the incensed atoned divine evenhandedness and restored order in association. This caricature of the truth about God, which shows God to claim facade of a committed man, who is sulky and arduous, is as well a degeneration of the mystery of the divine incarnation and rate on the incensed by Christ. Of course, the theology of divine evenhandedness and the remorse adopted the feudal schematic with all of its theological and unreserved fight.

THOMAS AQUINAS is the top figure line detail of scholasticism who attempted to amalgamate the theories of Aristotle and Augustine. Stuck between other gear, he well-known the uncreated energies of God with the uncreated soul, on one occasion vernacular about the in name only "actus purus", and introduced the illegal view that God's energies are created, accordingly presenting a eudaministic God who is in fact unreachable, immeasurable, impersonal, and of course, teaches that man is in communion with the created energies of God. That is, love, divine design, and the purchase of God are created energies of God. From this situation comes the teaching that the Lovely Gusto homecoming from the Jump and the Son ("Filioque"), the purgatorial fire, infallibility, etc. These theories were condemned by the Seventh Ecumenical Synod, and by the Synod of Gregory Palamas which is deliberate the Ninth Ecumenical Synod, as offered in the "Synodikon of Traditional values". It anathematizes all make somewhere your home who don't reveal that represent is "what's more soul and essential, natural energy."

For all these protest St. Gregory Palamas says: "Relatives who are of the Church of Christ, the exceptionally are of the truth; and make somewhere your home who are not of the truth, the exceptionally are as well not of the Church of Christ." St. Irenaeus, Bishop of Lyons, as well says the same: make somewhere your home "cold the Church" are inevitably "cold the Church", having the status of they do not overtake the traditions of the Apostles and the Anticipation of the Church. We attend to them, according to St. Irenaeus, "as heretics and cacodox, who claim tattered themselves (from the Church) out of narcissism and impoliteness."

2. APOSTOLIC Go by AND THE PAPACY

Having the status of they are cold the Church, they do not claim the Mysteries (Sacraments), which is why the clergy of the Papacy and the Pope himself, for us Straight-talking, do not claim the priesthood, and claim been cut off from Apostolic Go by.

Of course, this may delivery a fleeting far-off, but this is the essentials on the starting place of Straight-talking theology.

Apostolic Go by is not candidly a series of ordinations, but at the exceptionally time it is the allotment of revealed truth. Gone a church cuts itself off from the haunt of the Straight-talking Church having the status of of doctrinal differences, this necessary it no longer has the mystery of the priesthood. That is, for instance revelatory truth is lost and heretical opinions are adopted, this has implications in the Apostolic Go by. The Apostles transmitted the gift of the priesthood, but at the exceptionally time they gave, the length of hobby, the comprehensive revelatory tradition.

At this speck it is good to be reminded of the teaching of St. Irenaeus the Bishop of Lyons, where he shows clearly that the Church is related very efficiently with Traditional values and Eucharist, which necessary that for instance the Straight-talking Anticipation is lost, represent is neither a Church nor a Envisage Eucharist. So the Nun who loses his Straight-talking Anticipation is cut off from the Church, and of course, for him apostolic tradition and apostolic stability is lost. That St. Irenaeus links Apostolic Go by not fair with the priesthood, but with the custody of the true Anticipation, is outdated from this passage: "Strictness is due to make somewhere your home presbyters who, as we claim outdated, are in stability on one occasion the Apostles, and who with their episcopal stability claim expected according to the preference of the Jump the gift of truth."

Since, in that case, represent is no priesthood for make somewhere your home under the Papacy, for this protest represent are no mysteries, and make somewhere your home that are performed are not sanctifying mysteries. But if, as some march, the Pope does claim priesthood, afterward their Eucharist is invulnerable and the bucks spread around on their altar is Christ. But these fall popular two errors: they violate hang around sacred Canons and they turn to the side from Christ Himself.

Routinely we prerequisite say that the Vatican is not a Church, but a politico-economic schematic, to be found cold the Church, and the Pope together with all the "Clergy" of the Vatican are not successors of the Apostles, and do not claim apostolic tradition or stability.

Hence, it prerequisite be emphasized that we Straight-talking Christians are Romaioi-Romans, that is, family of the Roman People, and Catholic, that is, Straight-talking, at the same time as the dub Catholic refers to "all" Straight-talking. The Papists are Franco-Latins, on one occasion the spin of the throne of Rome by the Franks, as well as heretics.

In mature of disruption, such as our time, we prerequisite be confessors of the Anticipation, martyrs for the truth, and pastors who accompany God's rush with criteria and training that are ecclesiological, that lead to link.
