I'm trying to figure out your motivation.

Are you Orthodox Christian?

Please share with us.

I found the article intriguing.

Perhaps, I have more orthodox leanings than I realized.

To: right way right

Are you Orthodox Christian?

>>I like to think I’m an Orthodox Christian in union with Rome. My theological leanings are far closer to Eastern Orthodoxy than to the medieval Scholastics.

Eastern Christianity is fundamentally incarnational, and Christology comes first. Mary is important, but she always points the way to Jesus and is subservient to him.

We love who Jesus loved. Martin Luther and the early Protestant Reformers did likewise, but they were protesting, rightly so, against some of the superstitions.

I’ve been around Eastern Christians for about 15 years, and I don’t find the sorts of apparition hunting or obssession with “private revelation” that I see among Latin Catholics.
