Oh my... I haven’t gotten around to that yet and I really need to. I have heard that it is somewhat controversial, even within the Church.
” I have heard that it is somewhat controversial, even within the Church.”
Really? I hadn’t heard that. I think it’s a marvelous piece. I remember thinking I only found one mistake in it and off the top of my head I can’t remember what it was. It may be that he attributed something to +Symeon the New Theologian which I was never able to confirm.
It will be interesting if any of the Latins want to discuss Met. John’s thoughts on ecclesiology in the first 1000 years of the Church. My Jesuit contacts tell me that +BXVI (who I think may have been the first Father of the Church since +Gregory Palamas) agreed with him.
