Indeedy:) Delegated authority to the Apostles, with one Simon Peter being specifically told to feed my sheep and being seen as leader of the Apostles, a position taken up by Rome which had, in the early Church, an acknowledged primacy of honour. Its spokesman, Leo, pronounced what was and was...

I don't know what you mean by this? Your fathers, like the Roman fathers, accepted Leo's Tome. Leo regarded it as an authoritative statement of orthodox Christology, as did those who accepted Chalcedon. Montalban and yourself have been saying that it is all very well someone saying they have...

The authority was that of pronouncing on what was and was not an orthodox expression of Christology. That Leo did in his tome, accepted by your Fathers and the Roman Fathers. Since they were unable to enforce that power does it follow that no one had that authority? If so, you have, several...

No, if you pay attention you'd see I pointed to specific posts; there's really not point my keep telling you, you keep ignoring me and then complaining you're expected to read a 'mass of words'. I don't mind doing the research, but it would be noce to feel you were reading it. . It has been...

Evidence-lite, with about 6000 words. We shall have to find a new term to describe posts which offer a few links and no real evidence - perhaps 'evidence extremely-lite' will do? Ah, EO and hats, always with the hats.^_^ One can be against what passes for arguments in favour of something...

If you think that Leo's repeated statements mean nothing, fair enough, although perhaps the head-banging isn't helping:) Clearly not agreeing with you makes one anti-EO; an interesting definition. Perhaps they don't want to be told they are anti-EO^_^ I live it when we agree. peace...

The Book of Revelation gives us some insight into the liturgy of Heaven, and, given the fact that all the Apostles were members of a highly liturgical religion, it would appear unlikely that their form of worship was not also liturgical. We can be sure of one thing, none of them brought their...

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.:crossrc: peace, Anglian

May the Lord have mercy.:crossrc: 'Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my mother. To you I...

If anything is to be learned from recent, and not so recent events, it is tat we all all the Church and that, laity and clergy, we all need to love and support each other - even when the love has to be a little tough. Satan only attacks where he feels threatened. The Pope has already expressed...

The Church recognises marriage as being a sacrament; it is one shared between a man and a woman. If the OP wants to know whether one can be a Catholic and not support what the Church teaches, the answer in our society is clear enough. Recent scandals should show the result of being a Catholic...

The blessed St Jude warns the early Christians not to 'perish in Korah's rebellion' (Jude 11). This is a reference to Numbers 16 where Korah sought the priesthood for himself and acted to usurp the divine authority of Moses and Aaron. Why would God inspire Jude to warn us against the sin of...
