Ping to 6,550 for the truth that was extinguished in the EO.
Thanx so much for the ping ...
From the website of the Patriarchate.
“More than 350 years have elapsed since the first publication of the so-called «Lucarian Confession». Eminent historians, theologians and researchers have tried to clarify whether Lucaris was the actual author of the «Confession» attributed to him by the Calvinists. The Patriarch himself verbally denied it on several occasions and proclaimed his Orthodox faith with his attitude and in his letters. To the end, however, Cyril did not disavow the «Confession» in writing. Successive Synods of the Orthodox Church have condemned the «Confession» as heretical and alien to the Orthodox faith of the Fathers.”
Protestant relatives of mine have actually claimed the Heretics of the early church period in a desperate attempt to prove the Church wrong. Be very careful how you justify the false doctrines of the lawyer Calvin.
WoW! Thanks for the ping. No wonder he was persecuted. He told the truth. I had no idea that there were Orthodox around back then who really got it. :)
