Can the Orthodox teaching on homosexuality change too?
Is sacramental marriage a disciplinary canon too?
I don't care if you follow Rome or not, but you should follow the continuous universal teachings of Christianity from the time of the Apostles.
“Can the Orthodox teaching on homosexuality change too?”
I don’t know. It hasn’t thus far and of course we’ve done a rather better job of keeping them out of the ranks of the clergy and away from the altar boys than you folks have.
“Is sacramental marriage a disciplinary canon too?”
No, the mystery of marriage is dogmatic. It is so important in the Orthodox Churches that we, unlike you folks, bar unmarried people of the opposite sex living together or active homosexuals from all of the sacraments except confession. No doubt Rome finds the use of condoms by married people a far more grave matter than profanation of communion. Or has Rome now decided that sex outside of marriage, gay or otherwise, is no longer a sin, or perhaps only a venial sin? Is it true that communion is handed out at your Masses to people who haven’t been to confession first or who have not fasted as required by the canons...or have those disciplinary canons been abrogated?
“I don’t care if you follow Rome or not, but you should follow the continuous universal teachings of Christianity from the time of the Apostles.”
With all due respect, Doc, Rome is in absolutely no position to be dictating to Orthodoxy about the “continuous universal teachings of Christianity from the time of the Apostles.” Try telling your kids, the Protestants.
