I do begin to wonder at your reading ...Oh, Michael. I do begin to wonder at your reading comprehension skills. I think I mentioned the two Marian doctrines, no? As to V1 and V2, I think the former can have little to commend it, and the latter, while creative, didn't really bring anything new or brilliant to Christendom that hadn't been well articulated elsewhere previously. Of course, the RC's thought they were being incredibly progressive -- which just goes to show how insular and out of touch they were.<br /><br />As to patristics, I think it is evident that the Anglicans were at the forefront of their recovery back in the 16th century -- which in part led to the Reformation. The Church of Rome only broke from its bondage to scholasticism (to the extent it has) in fairly recent years, and only made its peace with the East even more recently. Meanwhile the Episcopal Church, via Scotland, was already in dialogue with the Orthodox in the formulation of its liturgies, back in the 18th century.<br /><br />I do not deny that there have been many fine RC theologians -- many of them silenced by the authorities. <br /><br />As to your comment on vice -- well, you show your bigotry once again. It must be fun to be part of a world in which you never have to doubt the rightness of your point of view, so long as you toe the party line.Tobias Stanislas Haller BSGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08047429477181560685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-55419276741944234002009-05-06T18:18:00.000-05:002009-05-06T18:18:00.000-05:00"And what has the world-church brought to Christen..."And what has the world-church brought to Christendom in her role as the Sole Western Developer of Doctrine?"<br /><br />How about the three Ecumenical Councils of Trent, Vatican I, and Vatican II, plus the dogmatic formulations of the Assumption and Immaculate Conception? Nevermind the reclaiming of the Patristic era, the neoscholastics, and contemporary Catholic theologians. These are far more substantial contributions theologically than anything coming out of the CofE and its spawn in the past four centuries.<br /><br />Meanwhile, you guys can't even figure out whether you are in communion with each other and whether sexual vice is "reasonable and holy."<br /><br />RCs are pretty insular, but compared to Anglican navel-gazing we're but pikers.<br /><br />FrMichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6786565.post-88391824580904731192009-05-06T16:11:00.000-05:002009-05-06T16:11:00.000-05:00He really does appear to want a single unified wor...<I>He really does appear to want a single unified world-church, made up of more or less interchangeable subunits.</I><BR><BR>I'd be astounded if the ABC succeeded in gathering the Anglican Communion cats into a herd that would respond to a central authority.
