As a rather regular patristic reader and student, I recommend to be suspicious of writings without accurate references, like this one. It's not the first case I see of fraudulent quotes by the ancient against the Immaculate Conception.

No, I can affirm that the quote is completely fabricated. I'm able to read that book and it appears nowhere.

It primarily depends on the rite and country, as it depends on the episcopal conference; here, in Toledo, in the Hispano-Mozarabic (Mozarabic Chapel, Primate Cathedral and parishes such as Sts. Justa and Rufina) and extraordinary Roman (Church of the Saviour) we celebrate it on May 14, as usual...

Has anyone heard about this? Reportedly France accuses Pope Francis of rebuking the French diplomatic Stéfanini for being homosexual, and reportedly the Vatican is silent. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

It has been a Latin-rite mass. It simply has been for the Armenian faithful in remembrance of the known slaughter.

I am greatly astonished by the replies given here. The Orthodox follow the heresy of the Greeks, at least materially, and are schismatics, as Rhamiel has explained. This assertion is simply aberrant.

–A good intention (for example, that of helping one's neighbor) does not make behavior that is intrinsically disordered, such as lying and calumny, good or just. The end does not justify the means. Thus the condemnation of an innocent person cannot be justified as a legitimate means of...

You are falling into the terrible fallacy of exclusion. In no way Benedict XIV says that a Catholic professing the procession of the Spirit from the Father through the Son (a Patre per Filium) is not a true Catholic. Peter the Roman, whom I give thanks, has already pointed it out to you.

Glossing over the indifferentism of the first sentence in your post, I assume you are referring to this part: Is that correct?

Am I to infer from that statement that the Union of Brest separated from the dogma of the double procession? I do not see any contradiction with it.

What is this accusation based upon? It is to remain clear that I fully respect the tradition of the Eastern church by which the clause was not added to the symbol. I adhere to the position of Peter the Roman. In this case we are talking about phrasing.

–That man [Mark, Archbishop of Ephesus] too would betray his ignorance of ecclesiastical history who did not know that the union with the Orientals confirmed that they would accept the dogma of the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son [...] –Whenever the union of the Greek...

Huh? What are we doing wrong?

Hello?
