“When you say “Church” do you mean to include the people?”

Orthodoxy holds that no proclaimed dogma is in fact dogma and true unless the people give their great AXIOS, which is to say their judgment that it is in fact True, by living out the dogma in their lives. Its not simply the province of hierarchs.

Kosta: "How could the Church agree on what is inspired and what is not or have you forgotten that it was the Church that put together the Bible you believe in by discerning, based on orthodox faith, which writings were inspired and which profane?"

Yes, that's what I was sure was the case. And I consider this to be a different approach from the Latins. I guess I just perceived an RC tinge in Kosta's remark. :)
