"Opportunity for Catholic & Orthodox rebuttal" ping

[derheimwill]

Not a rebuttal of you or your intent, just of the article: Let us be followers of the Way, without too much regard for any human document.

2. the nature of the relation between Justification by grace through faith and the place of works of sanctification,

Catholic bishops have stated (in a joint declaration with Lutheran bishops) that the Salvation has always been an unmerited gift of grace through faith in our Lord. They acknowledge that there are still differences in some doctrinal areas, but that there is more agreement than dispute.

JOINT DECLARATION ON THE DOCTRINE OF JUSTIFICATION

[Gman]

+John is one of the reasons I am proud to serve in the AMiA.

[Hermann the Cherusker]

The Collect for August 15 in the Book of Common Prayer strongly implies the truth of the Assumption:

"O God, who has taken to thyself the blessed Virgin Mary, mother of thy incarnate son: Grant that we, who have been redeemed by his blood, may share with her the glory of thine eternal kingdom ..."

There is nothing in the 39 Articles against most of the Marian dogmas, such as the Assumption, or her perpetual Virginity. Article XV does stand in contrast to the Immaculate Conception, and Article XXII against her intercession.
