Great. It's still more expensive than I'd like given how excellent a book it is, but even still it wasn't on Kindle or paperback for a long time. Fr. Névy O.P. is a great priest! I met him at an Association of Hebrew Catholics meeting, and he was just amazing and solid! Very much a Dominican...

Very glad to hear this!!! :D

To some degree (with one caveat), and this reflects what St. Paul does. If we understand, as St. Paul and even Rabbinic Judaism teaches, that the Abrahamic Covenant is bound up with the Mosaic Covenant at Sinai, we can better understand this. God doesn't revoke previous Covenants. They are...

Well, while I wait for a moderator to approve my post citing the magisterial sources most relevant to this question (it must be because I'm a newbie here? *shrugs*), I guess as a Gentile member of the Association of Hebrew Catholics, I should probably jump in. I'm hearing the Protestant idea of...

Oy vey! This thread is quite disturbing and requires an intervention on multiple levels, I think, lest our separated brethren (or worse, our elder brethren!!) read and misunderstand. Authoritative sources and helpful articles now follow, written from an entirely orthodox Catholic viewpoint and...

True, but grace builds on nature. It doesn't force or erase it.

That's one of the options I said. Although, it should be noted that this isn't always possible. Pagans and Muslims will not take wives who were "married" to a Christian, polygamous or not. (And depending on the region, they may be the only possibilities!). Moreover, even Christian men have a...

I deny none of that, nor does any orthodox African bishop. But that doesn't remove the real issues involved here. One cannot be so uncharitable as to force a woman to starve and prostitute herself on the basis of "no one said Christianity would be easy." How indeed would such a condition aid her...

Firstly, LifeSiteNews is not a reputable source for faithful Catholics (sorry...), and has many instances of active dissidence to the Supreme Pontiff. But I'll leave that aside for the time being. Nor will I debate this point either. First, we must keep in mind that the Synod is a...

Actually, it is far more common than many in the West realize. Christians in Africa, especially Bantu and sub-Saharan, have long had a tradition (perhaps going back thousands upon thousands of years) of polygamy; and that even after centuries of Christian evangelization. It is most common in the...

Indeed. I have oft-wondered (as has Fr. James Dominic) when or if his bishop will engage in canonical penalties for this...mess he's made. I'm not sure what autocephalous church he is part of (Greek Orthodox, I think...) but, in my humble estimation, he has done great damage and should be...

I know Fr. James Dominic quite well, and lived with him for a time. He is a genius, quite literally, and perhaps one of the greatest assets to the Order of Preachers from the Central Province of St. Albert the Great in the US. He is bi-ritual in the Byzantine Rite (Ruthenian, I believe) and his...

So, basically the law of non-contradiction by a skilled exegete (who probably holds to your own general theology) putting together Biblical passages into a "catena aurea" of meaning is the standard? No offense intended, but this seems rather weak and a recipe for multiple divergent...

Strictly speaking your logic is sound but not at all impervious to problems. The main reason to trust what many in academia call "the proto-orthodox" Church and its leaders is their association (sometimes face-to-face) with the Blessed Apostles. Unlike all other groups, especially Gnostics and...
