Reading Cyril of Jerusalem’s Lecture, it is quite obvious that any of us Catholics on this thread, if we could go back in time and celebrate the Holy Mass with Saint Cyril as the presider/celebrant of the Liturgy, would be totally at home because everything in the Liturgy he is teaching his parishoners in the Liturgy I attended last Sunday.
I mean, changing bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ, all the Prayers he is saying we [Catholics said last Sunday, and of course, every Sunday of our lives], I mean asking the saints and angels to intercede for us.
No, this guy can’t be Catholic, no not with the theology he is describing in this writing. Yea right.
Yeah, this just proves Cyril was a heretic. < /sarc >
It is amazing, and especially how he weaves diverse Scripture into the explanation. I wish we could ask him to explain more so we could trace the chain back to its traditional origin. The washing of hands is done today by observant Jews.
