"Laos tou Theou >/i>

Axios

theologoumennon"

The People of God

Worthy (meaning here we assent and agree)

A pious belief or teaching which one may accept or reject.

In Orthodoxy, the Assumption is an example of a theologoumennon, though that one borders on actual dogma. Something like the ban on ABC would likely never been seen as dogma in any event. It might be set up as a sort of disciplinary canon, but that would always presuppose the "out" of economia.
