A very interesting read indeed.

“A very interesting read indeed.”

Yes, it is. And I suppose the assessment might be useful to some, lay, clergy and hierarchs, in the Global South concerning what they are getting into here. Beyond that, I’ve heard this sort of commentary virtually every time I go off to Greece. In the political realm, and for that matter, likely in the economic realm, there is little the rest of the world can do other than put up with our self righteousness/exceptionalism. But in matters of Faith, there is no reason at all for anyone to put up with heresy masquerading as or being excused by a call to, some form of ethnophyletism. The Faith has no more to do with “Americanism” (or Global Southism) than with the 21st century as opposed to the 1st.

Final note, the good canon seems rather fixated on what amount to disciplinary canons having to do with ecclesiology. He’d do better to concern himself with the dogmas dictated by the councils, the consensus patrum and Holy Tradition.
