LOL today in "things I literally already knew" XD

Okay so the number one result was not a shock at ALL, but I'm honestly surprised that Roman Catholicism is that far down the list!

And being baptized Lutheran apparently stuck around a little.

That said there were a few questions where I was like "eh, this isn't worth arguing about imho" (like the number of sacraments), but even then my "any of these answers is Fine??" is sort of an Anglican/Episcopalian way of looking at things!

Like, even the opening bit about comparing confessions made me laugh a little because my denomination isn't a "confessional" church

Why Orthodox Disagree With Purgatory

It creates a "third place" between Heaven and Hell - if not in theology, certainly in the minds of some laity, as demonstrated by the division of the Church Militant, Penitent and Triumphant. Since Orthodox have a strong belief in lex orandi, lex credendi, many of us hear that kind of language and assume that Roman Catholics literally believe that Purgatory is something as distinct from Heaven as Hell is from Heaven.

It redirects people's focus from the Final Judgement to the Particular Judgement. Both of the scriptural instances of prayer for the repose of the soul (2 Maccabees 12:39-45, 2 Timothy 1:16-18) are concerned with the Resurrection and the Day of Judgement respectively, as is 1 Corinthians 3:15, a common prooftext for Purgatory (see :13). But Purgatory casts them as being about the Particular Judgement.

While we don't oppose the idea of post-mortem purification of the soul from sin (indeed, it was one of the pronouncements of the 1672 Council of Jerusalem, our equivalent of the Council of Trent), we do oppose the concept historically popular among Roman Catholics, of a realm where people are punished for their sins before graduating to Heaven, because we believe that there is no punishment in that sense with God - with God, there is only difficult purification (penances), rearranging the world (divine judgement) or being with Him in an impure and hence painful state (Hell).

These aren't the only reasons, but these are ones that I find compelling and that are popular with Orthodox Christians.

Any Roman Catholics reading this, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Tagging @paula-of-christ, @apenitentialprayer and @cactusflowerfemme for that purpose.

The fullness of the earth is yours O Lady; You O Mother will reign forever. You are clothed with glory and beauty: Every precious stone is your adornment & your clothing. The brightness of the sun is upon your head: the beauty of the moon is beneath your feet. Shining orbs adorn your throne: the morning stars glorify you. Be mindful of us, O Lady, in thy good pleasure: and make us worthy to glorify your name.

This inner Tradition 'handed down to us in a mystery' is preserved above all in the Church's worship. Lex orandi lex credendi: men's faith is expressed in their prayer.

⁑ Hellenians ⁑ ↝ The name of a people estranged from their God. Averaging a life span of 300-500 years, they carry themselves with a rigid dignity and superfluous way of speaking. When they are allowed passage to the human realm, their passive influence results in the increase of mysticism, spirituality, and religion.

↝ With heads adorned with horns and fingers tipped with talons, Hellenians also carry with them an ethereal beauty that is timeless in nature and attracts gazes easily. When not glamoured to conceal their unique features to blend in with humans, they also sport unnatural eye colors ranging from blood red, vivacious purple, to metallic gold.

↝ A very rare but distinctive mark in Hellenians are a pair of wings. It elevates the individual to an elite position in society and is a required feature for the High Lord of Hellenia.

↝ Clothing choices for Hellenians veer towards dark colors with deep jewel tones as accents. Silver is their preferred metal of adornment. Older generations lean heavily towards the Victorian-gothic aesthetic, while the younger ones mesh it with elements of steampunk or gothic couture. White is a sacred color reserved only for death, as it signifies purity that Hellenians believe they can only attain once the soul leaves the body.

↝ Orandi gratia dei nobis in tenebris luceat – “May God’s grace shine upon us in darkness.” A common phrase amongst Hellenians uttered at formal events or farewells.

From Advent with Evelyn Underhill : 

 SPIRITUAL LIFE : BEGIN WITH OBJECTIVE FACT 

The spiritual life is a stern choice. It is not a consoling retreat from the difficulties of existence; but an invitation to enter fully into that difficult existence, and there apply the Charity of God and bear the cost. Till we accept this truth, religion is full of puzzles for us, and its practices often unmeaning: for we do not know what it is all about. So there are a few things more bracing and enlightening than a deliberate resort to [some basic] statements about God, the world and the soul; testing by them our attitude to those realities, and the quality and vigour of our interior life with God. For every one of them has a direct bearing on that interior life. Lex credendi, lex orandi. Our prayer and belief should fit like hand and glove; they are the inside and outside of one single correspondence with God. 

Since the life of prayer consists in an ever-deepening communion with a Reality beyond ourselves, which is truly there, and touches, calls, attracts us, what we believe about that Reality will rule our relation to it. We do not approach a friend and a machine in the same way. We make the first and greatest of our mistakes in religion when we begin with ourselves, our petty feelings and needs, ideas and capacities.The Creed sweeps us up past all this to God, the objective Fact, and His mysterious self-giving to us. It sets first Eternity and then History before us, as the things that truly matter in religion; and show us a humble and adoring delight in God as the first duty of the believing soul. So there can hardly be a better inward discipline than the deliberate testing of our vague, dilute, self-occupied spirituality by this superb vision of Reality.

By Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò Lifesite News

November 2, 2024

The poll conducted by the Real Presence Coalition confirms what was already evident when Paul VI authorized the modification of the discipline in this matter. First of all, it was clear that the so-called “reforms” imposed by a group of subversives Modernists did not respond to any request “from the grass roots.” Neither the Novus Ordo nor the new ways of administering Communion were the fruit of a real need of the ecclesial body. The opposite is true, however, that the so-called liturgical reform was intended to help spread the doctrine it contained among the clergy and the faithful, causing the πρᾶξις (praxis) to influence the δόξα (belief). The concept summarized by the adage Lex orandi, lex credendi has been widely adopted by the proponents of the conciliar reform, but in reverse and maliciously: in this case it is not in fact the oρθοδοξία (orthodoxy) that determines the ὀρθοπραξία (orthopraxy), but the ἑτεροπραξία (heteropraxy) that shapes the ἑτεροδοξία (heterodoxy).

Riflessioni sulla Condanna di S.E. Mons. Viganò

La condanna per scisma, e non per eresia, di S.E. Mons Viganò da parte della Curia romana ha una forza morale e canonica direttamente proporzionale alla fedeltà alla Chiesa Cattolica e alla fedeltà alla Sua Lex credendi (e orandi) della stessa Curia: cioè è nulla e non avvenuta da parte della Chiesa Stessa in quanto Corpo di Cristo. Le posizioni di Mons. Viganò sono però interessanti in quanto…
