"Kolokotronis", said otherwise. So, which of you is presenting the correct EO position?

I doubt it. I know Kolokotronis better than you and he would not say something like that. What exactly did Kolo say?

Here is his initial statement apeaking of the writings of the church fathers, that led to mine and others questions:

To: HarleyD; stfassisi; Missey_Lucy_Goosey

"While they give insight into great theological truths their writings are not and never were considered "inspired" by the Church.

HD, where did you get that idea? The Church proclaims the inspiration of the Fathers throughout the liturgical year in Apolytikia and Kontakia. For example, this Kontakion from the feast of +Cyril of Jerusalem:

"With your lips, O wise Cyril,
And through divine inspiration
You enlightened your people
To the worship of the one Trinity,
Undivided in essence, yet divided in Hypostases.
Wherefore rejoicing, we celebrate your all-holy memory,
Offering you as our intercessor before God.

Please don't take this as a criticism but it is considered good form to ping any person you identify in your post. In this instance Kolokotronis.

BTW, I see you are relatively new to FR and you are a welcome addition. Your postings are excellent.
