Angels

[Justin-H.S.]

I really admired athanasius at first. Taught me a valuable lesson, about worshipping men rather than The Lord Jesus

Yeah, you’re not supposed to worship saints. Worship is for God alone.

Just because you wrongly worshipped a saint doesn’t make that saint a heretic, you know? All you had to do was repent and not worship saints anymore. The Lord is merciful.

 

[Lukaris]

I am just wondering if we are speaking of the same person named Athanasius. When we are referring to St. Athanasius, we are referring to ancient history:

Our Holy Fathers Athanasius the Great (373) and Cyril (44), Patriarchs of Alexandria | Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese

I don’t know, but there were many cradle Catholic classics in this thread.

Everything from “Catholics don’t read the Bible” to “Catholics worship saints.”

The Athanasian creed was not really confessed by St. Athanasius; it is attributed to his name for clout ( I guess). Aside from the point where it says the Holy Spirit is of the Father & the Son, it seems ok. It did not circulate in the Orthodox Church * (clarification below)

I would think our major problem with it is saying the Holy Spirit is of the Father & the Son & manipulation of St. Athanasius for this alleged justification. Rome further complicated things with the filioque addition to the Nicene Creed.

*** I said this creed did not circulate in the Orthodox Church which is incorrect. It stood as a confession in the Western Orthodox Church prior to 1054 but was hardly known in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
