More of the stinking rot of heresy! The Latins, it seems, are playing catch up with the Episcopagans! Has this heresiarch no concept of what the Eucharist is and what the consequences are for those who receive unworthily?

This story is running rampant all over the blogosphere today. Someone emailed me the story early this morning. It left me cold and empty. On the one hand, one can justify the Archbishop's appearance at such an event by likening it to our Lord's acceptance of the invitation to dine with the tax collector and his friends. The BIG difference, however, is that our Lord grabbed the moment and used it as a teaching opportunity. Tha did not happen in this case.

3 years ago, during Lent, I turned off the nightly news. The gap was filled with prayers, Scripture readings and reflection on God's mysteries. Even now, in this forum, scandalous stories such as this draw us like moths to the flame. I have chosen to avoid these 'rare' (and that is what they are) events while focusing on the more positive ones.

Thank you for the ping and your comments.

Do I detect triumphalism? Maybe just use the term "Papist" or "Romanist" instead of the ever so subtle, Latinist, my Orthodox Brother.

Now, there's a word you don't see every day.

Talk to Archbishop Burke ...

These things were unknown when the churches accepted the total inerrancy of the Bible. But foolish Episcopalians, Catholics, and Eastern Orthodox actually believe you can declare whole sections of the Bible mythology and have the entire moral edifice stand unaffected.

This is going to happen to your church eventually for the very same reason it has happened to the others, and all the condemnations of "nineteenth century positivism" and claims that "we never believed that silly stuff in the first place" will not save you.

But never mind. No one wants to sound like a "redneck." Go ahead. Learn the hard way.

The ancient liturgical churches are collapsing. The "modern" churches with the "anti-apostolic" notion of total Biblical inerrancy have escaped.
