Theosis Ping!
Where does he get this idea? I enjoy reading Orthodox mystical theology but everytime the subject of Roman Catholic mysticism comes up the author gets it wrong.
I, too, wonder if his representation of the Western thought is accurate. I would like to see a doctrinal statement on created/uncreated energies from a Catholic source; what Barlaam thought for himself does not make it Catholic dogma. I suspect this is one instance where the Orthodox refine the dogma left unclarified by the Early Church and by the Roman Catholics of today. Usually it is the other way around, e.g. on the purgatory or the recent mariology.
It is a good explanation of the uncreated energies theology. How does this relate to grace?
