Is it just me???

Do you ever wonder what the Holy Fathers would think if they could be brought forward in time, to see these boards and what is being debated???

I think they would keel over in a dead faint....

I 'spect they would.

 

[Oblio]

Personally, I think they are here with us, and praying on our behalf for wisdom and strength

I suspect a few have fainted at first

 

[Suzannah]

Oblio...I think you'[re are totally right....I think that they must be just horrified....Poor Ireaneus!!! Poor Ignatius!!! Poor Polycarp! They must just be watching all this and praying so hard for us out of love...

Well, "there's nothing new under the sun." I tend to believe that much of the falsehoods and debates of today, are only the same ones our Fathers fought against....only with new skins.
It is more sad that we keep recycling these heresies and falling into the traps of our enemy.

I would think they would think, with all the marvels nothing has changed at all. They fought the same delusions then, with an advantage, of a single Church, now they would weep at the thousands of sects each teaching their own thing.

I think they would be disgusted at the political correctness and ecumenism.

I agree...I think they are weeping...

 

[Umut]

I do not believe they are weeping; if they are now with God; they must be praying that God will grant us love and wisdom.

I must say; when I have time to think and when I recite the Jesus prayer; I can defend my faith so well! Just read this post I made which I think is pretty smart!

I thought very little and words were just flowing out of me!

How merciful is Our Lord Jesus Christ; to grant me, a filthy, disgusting sinner his love and wisdom to defend and praise Orthodoxy!!
