The Eastern church always valued both kataphatic and apophatic theology. They are both necessary, but with the emphasis probably placed on the latter in the East

Your understanding of Eastern mindest is amazing stripes1776. You are absolutely right about the emphasis being placed on the apophatic knowledge and this phronema being the reason +Gregory Palamas sucessufully proved that true knowledge of God is not in the scholastic realm.

Your understanding of Eastern mindest ...

Glad to have the feedback. Reading as much as possible has given me a somewhat different perspective than I used to have.
