Standing Up
On and on
Interesting question, although phrased differently than I would prefer:
We hold fast to what we have received. It is not so much that RC or Protestant are wrong, and then us, correct, but it is much more about what we have received. RC will acknowledge that in their Dogma is accreted understanding of ancient tradition- a restatement perhaps, in the vein of the Nicene Creed. Such is permissible, but through concilliar action of the whole Church, not by one Episcopate.
We have not held a council which has been deemed ecumenical since the schism. That Rome has says much about her view unto self.
So you're saying O holds fast to what was received, but RCC doesn't (since they've had more councils)?
Nothings changed for you in 1000 years, but it has for RCC.
Each group will agree that they've received something. But how to iron out the wrinkles? What plumb line will one use? RCC, I suppose, simply says, quoting longer version of Ignatius, the bishop can do whatever he wants/ is above all things. What do you use?
