You may recall that I have suggested for quite some time that a major aspect of the differences among us is a difference in philosophy. The conversation about hiereus MIGHT have been an opportunity to explore that difference.

"See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits[a] of the world, and NOT ACCORDING to CHRIST.Colossians 2:8

Actual progress in mutual understanding might have taken place.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and LEAN NOT on your OWN UNDERSTANDING; in ALL your ways acknowledge HIM, and HE will make your paths straight." Prov 3:5,6

Worldly secular advice only works with catholics. It doesn't work with CHRISTIANS- they HEAR and OBEY GOD - His WORD.

And THAT is the difference!
