    The more important point in Wagner video is not only that "if Cath is wrong it doesn't mean Orthodox is right." But the more deeper and important point is, ORTHODOX CAN NOT GIVE US REASON WHY THEY ARE RIGHT (or, what is the correct position)
    So, suppose you agree with Orthodox that the roman view of primacy is wrong, when you ask them "what then is the correct view?" They don't have an answer.
    Because their view is just "anything else but the roman view of primacy." Even now Greek and Russia are fighting over what "primacy" is.

      There are arguments that have been provided for why you should become Orthodox by Orthodox apologists. We also have provided responses for what the correct view of primacy is. Constantinople, at the moment, is in conflict with most the rest of the Church over what primacy is because it has overextended its power in many regards, and because it is promulgated some Ecumenist policies, such as apparently aiming for Union with Rome. Disregarding primacy though, I think we have provided good metaphysical arguments against Absolute Divine Simplicity, Created Grace, and the Filioque and for the Essence-Energies Distinction, Uncreated Grace, and Eternal Manifestation.

      @@sihtnaelkk2187 Agreed, but conciliarism has no basis in the first millennium. Not even in the fifth council can you say that the first millennium Church was conciliarist, since the fifth council still recognized Pope Vigilius as Pope, preserved union with his see (even after removing his name from the diptychs), and beseeched him to participate in the council, since they still needed his authority to ratify the council and make it ecumenical. This remained the rule for councils, even up until the seventh council (Nicaea II) which openly declares that the Pope must approve of a council for it to be ecumenical.

      @@sihtnaelkk2187 Problem with this view is that some of the several councils did not have the assent of ALL the patriarchs at the time. Ephesus didn't have Antioch, and Chalcedon didn't have Alexandria. So if this is one of the things that is necessary for a council to be ecumenical, then this creates an issue for you. Also, Nicaea II does not strictly say ALL of the patriarchs of the east must assent also (since many times before not every Patriarch agreed with authoritative councils), but it does say that it MUST have the consent of the bishop of Rome. This is found not only in Nicaea II, but also in Chalcedon
      "Let him give a reason for his judgment. For he undertook to give sentence against one over whom he had no jurisdiction. And he dared to hold a synod without the authority of the Apostolic See, a thing which had never taken place nor can take place."

    As an Orthodox I've been exceptionally frustrated at this sort of "apophatic RC" that many in the Dyer crowd believe Orthodoxy is. I obviously believe Orthodoxy is true, but I experience this all the time (denial of Original sin, denial of Divine Simplicity, polytheistic view of the Divine Energy etc.) where Orthodoxy is basically believed to be what Protestantism and Roman Catholicism isn't... in all cases.

    This is such a goofy and shallow generalizaton (the whole bit about angsty anti-catholic protestant baggage). Basically on par with "which orthodox church???" response quality. Of course falsifying VI *while presupposing* that the ecclesiology of the first millennium Church contradicts Orthodox ecclesiology would render both paradigms false.

      ​​​@@MilitantThomistthe substance of your entire video was centered around refuting the argument of Orthodox apologists who claim that "if VI is falsified, Orthodoxy is true".
      Yet the argument you presented asserted that the falsification of VI would essentially result in the falsification of Christianity (as you personally don't find any alternative church's ecclesiology reconcilable with the first millennium witness). This was your whole point.
      I'm simply pointing out that your climactic argument here *presupposes* that the ecclesiology of the 1st millennium church contradicts Orthodox ecclesiology. ...yet no serious Orthodox apologist would accept that premise. Neither is it a shock or surprise to us that a RC apologist would accept this presupposition.
      So really, this rebuttal and it's necessary conclusion would only be relevant/applicable to a convinced Roman Catholic who accepts Erick's argument that the ecclesiology of the 1st millennium Church is irreconcilable with Orthodox ecclesiology.
      For everyone else, this just brings us back to square 1 and highlights the heart of the entire debate. So I'm not sure what you think is so powerful here. I'm not really sure what you think this accomplishes at all actually. Is this what top tier RC apologetics looks like?

    Hi Scholastic Answers! I've been watching your videos for some time. On that presentation above you've said, that people in the USA don't like the RCC for stupid reasons. Well, I do come from a catholic country in the Eastern Europy (Poland). Here the Catholic Church is still strong, but morally bankrupted. Priests demand from people to pay for sacraments and for masses, if you don't pay for church services (f.e. funeral) you don't get it. In the last year a video became popular in which a young girl wanted to bury her father but she couldn't pay. She was from Lodz, one of the greatest and the poorest city in Poland (high unemployment, factories closed - a kind of Polish Detroit). The priest said, that he couldn't help her if he didn't see the money. Morever, it's commonly known, that if you are from a wealthy family and you can pay a bribe to bishop you will get a good parish (if you are priest) or second church marriarge (famous Polish politician Jacek Kurski). If you don't believe me you check these facts personally via websites.

      If Roman Catholic Church is wrong and the Orthodox Church is wrong, then the true Church could be the Protestant or even the non-denominational or even Islam.
      The more important point in Wagner video is not only that "if Cath is wrong it doesn't mean Orthodox is right." But the more deeper and important point is, Orthodox can not give us reason why they are right.
      So, suppose you agree with Orthodox that the roman view of primacy is wrong, when you ask them "what then is the correct view?" They don't have an answer.
      Because their view is just "anything else but the roman view of primacy." Even now Greek and Russia are fighting over what "primacy" is.

(which shows you the naivete of teachers thinking opposing apologists are of good faith who want to learn something ) And of course he blocked me and all of my posts when I directly called him out lining up the transcript of what he "read" vs the actual text. But you'll see that the highlights of his grab bag of lies is that he...
    1) Gives a quote from Mortalium Animos as the basis of his argument. The problem is, the quote isn't in the document.
    2) He quotes from Lumen Gentium chapter 3 section on the Moslems. The problem is he falsifies the quote.
    3) At the 7 minute mark, he actually claims he's reading directly from Nostra Aetate on the screen. The problem is he again reorders and falsifies what the text says to conform to his false assertion.
    The whole video is a Russian Doll of errors, falsehoods, lies and deceptions. it's disgusting to watch.

    The way I see it, there was One Church of Christ since the beginning, and after a 1000 years there was a split. Only one side of the split could be right, and my conclusion is that it was not Roman-Catholicism. I will not go too deeply into my reasons, but the core of it is that Roman Catholicism changed the faith, at an ever increasing pace, while Eastern Orthodoxy kept the original faith. Since there is no third candidate in this split, that does sufficiently show that Eastern Orthodoxy remains as the True Church. Unless you want to argue that an earlier offshoot like Arianism or Islam was the True Church all along, I suppose.
    Of course, my starting assumption is that Christ did start His Church, and that She has never died, and never will. If we assume that the Church can die and then be re-established 1000 years later, then it's Protestantism all the way, I suppose. But I reject that idea, because God is almighty and He promised to maintain His Church forever.
    At least that's how I see it. I'm not a scholar. I'm a simple man, working by simple concepts that I understand. My most important principle is "Truth does not change", and of every religion in the world, Eastern Orthodoxy seems to be the only one that agrees with this principle. Everyone, everyone else keeps changing their story.

      ⁠hey there! I think I saw the quote- sometimes my YT comments seem to disappear. I looked into Mortalium Aninos, and Lumen Gentium, and saw your comment- the sentiment of a contradiction seemed clear to me when I looked at the exclusivity of the first and the inclusivity relative to expanding Abraham’s family out without the “day of Christ” in Lumen Gentium. I didn’t compare the exact quotes, but the sentiment of exclusivity as the ark of salvation transitioning to an appeal to sharing a common root of faith in Lumen Gentium seemed to me a magisterial development that contradicts the former deposit, and changes the ethics of the faithful.
      I’m not totally experienced with all the terms, but you’d say all three are magisterial, and dogmatic, correct? Is the argument you’re making that Jay’s misquote undermines his central argument?

    • @gerry30
      @gerry30 2 місяці тому

      @@georgeluke6382 Hey George, All three are magisterial, but they are not dogmatic. They are on the "authentic" level. Meaning they are statements from the office holders of the teaching authority.
      In the first place, Jay isn't paraphrasing Mortalium Animos. He says he's quoting Pius XI. The quote isn't in the document. One of the key elements is the use of the phrase the Church has never "permitted" Catholics to attend assemblies of non-Catholics. This means that the Church could hypothetically permit the practice. If it were dogmatic, it would say something like "absolutely forbids and can never allow."
      But regarding Jay's claim: Later when comparing the exact quotes, you come up with pure deception.
      Lumen Gentium says, "In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, professing to hold the faith of Abraham, along with us adore the one and merciful God,"
      Jay deliberately removes the part where it states the "professing" and claims the Catholic Church is stating that the Muslims hold the faith of Abraham. Then he demands that the caller supply him with how the Catholic Church explains how they share the faith of Abraham.
      And in Nostra Aetate the text is this ( emphasis added by me):
      3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in*** linking itself,*** submitted to God.
      Jay when claiming to read the "actual" text says this:
      3. The Church regards with esteem the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful all- powerful, Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who spoke to man; they take pains to submit - to His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in submitting to God.
      He then asks the caller, "Do you think that Jews and Catholics and Muslims have the same faith as Abraham?"
      Notice that Jay removes any wording that indicates that the documents are describing what the Moslems claim about themselves and instead implied that he's reading what the Catholic Church teaches about Islam as if it validates the opinion.
      The proper question is "Do you think the Muslims believe they have the same faith as Abraham? " So, yes the real text undermines Jay's claims which is why he had to falsify the quotes.

    Caller: Yea, so that’s that argument is is is similar to the arguments that the sedevacantists have against…

    Caller: Well, maybe you do. I understand that there are different levels of authority in different kinds of documents….
    Jay: That’s correct…
    Caller: ..and different kinds of statements So, an encyclical teaching, Mortalium Animos is a high level magisterial teaching. So if you are referring to an ecumenical movement or an action like like uh John Paul II, Assisi…
    Jay : Hmmm mmm
    Caller: or are you talking about…
    Jay: It won’t matter becau..and it won’t even matter of the status of that document because the status of the document is irrelevant to whether the actions of the Pope reflect actions that are contrary to Canon Law and constitute actions of apostasy. So, if it’s always considered in Catholic theology and in moral theology that certain actions display an inner state of apostasy the magisterial status of Mortalium Animos which by the way, I think you would could easily argue is uh ordinary magisterium at the least perhaps universal ordinary magisterium should be protected by the charism of Peter, correct?

      @@nit2266 Well, more likely he was just making things up like he invented the quote from Mortalium Animos. And he falsified the quotes from Lumen Gentium and Nostra Aetate. He deliberately leaves out the part where the documents states that it is the Muslims that believe they are linked to Abraham and it is the Muslims that "profess" to share the faith of Abraham.
      Further his problem is claiming that Catholic teaching indicates an inner state of apostasy, I'd like to see a reference since what popped into my mind was the quote from St. Pius X in condemning the Modernists. "Though they express astonishment themselves, no one can justly be surprised that We number such men among the enemies of the Church, ***if, leaving out of consideration the internal disposition of soul, of which God alone is the judge, ****he is acquainted with their tenets, their manner of speech, their conduct."
      Why he brings up "Canon Law" is irrational since there are two sets of codes of Canon Law, one for the Eastern Catholics and one for the Latin Church. And the Pope is the authority above all Canon Law of the Church. Juridically he's not subject to it.
      And his claim that Mortalium Animos is ordinary magisterium or universal ordinary magisterium and should be protected by the charism of Peter is conveniently ignoring the fact that the document is about a specific phenomena of Pan-Christian assemblies in which doctrine is subordinated to social and political goals. So, being a temporal series of events it refers to, it falls under the "authentic" magisterium and is not a matter of universal doctrine or morals. Furthermore the language itself indicates that the Church has never "permitted" Catholics to join assemblies of non-Catholics. That doesn't rule out the Church permitting Catholics and non-Catholics to assemble under events implemented by the Catholic Church. Had it been infallible it would state that the Church cannot ever permit Catholics to join assemblies with non-Catholics.

      The condemnation is because the patriarch of Constantinople at the time, John the Faster, used the title "universal bishop" to mean that he is the true bishop (other bishops are not true bishops).
      This is from Gregory the Great's Registered Letter, book IX, 68 (find it on newadvent): "For if one, as he supposes, is universal bishop, it remains that you are not bishops."

The gates of Hades have not prevailed against this faith and Jesus has built His church on it.
      Unfortunately for Roman Catholics, the gates of Hades has prevailed against their church with its countless heresies and culture of pederasty. Not to mention the Roman Catholic church being the first protestant church that lead to the thousands of other heretical protestant churches.

      Go back to the 7 minute mark on the video and watch him claim to read what he says is the "actual" text.
      In Nostra Aetate the actual text is this: ( emphasis added by me so Jay's deception isn't missed ):
      "3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in*** linking itself,*** submitted to God. "
      Jay, when claiming to read the "actual" text says this:
      "The Church regards with esteem the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful all- powerful, Creator of heaven and earth, who spoke to man; they take pains to submit to His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in submitting to God.
      He then asks the caller, "Do you think that Jews and Catholics and Muslims have the same faith as Abraham?"
      Notice that Jay removes any wording that indicates that the documents are describing what the Moslems claim about themselves and instead implies that he's reading what the Catholic Church teaches about Islam as if it validates the opinion.
      The actual question should be "Do you think the Muslims take pleasure in linking themselves to the faith of Abraham? "
      That's because he butchered and falsified the real text. You'd have to be functionally illiterate to not see that. He even makes it seem that it's the Muslims submitting to God and not Abraham as the text states.
      He did the same thing with Lumen Gentium. Search in vain and you'll not find him saying that it's the Muslims that profess to hold the faith of Abraham, but he pretends it's the Catholic Church teaching that they have the faith of Abraham.
      And you can read Mortalium Animos and you won't find the quote he keeps using.
      So don't be like lying cowardly "brother" Dyer who doesn't have the integrity to admit his sins of deception.

So I can’t believe that uh a few decades later, Vatican II, the affirmation of the ecumenist movement as a movement of the Holy Spirit is now a good thing. That’s a straight up contradiction. "

      Jay claims to cite Lumen Gentium
      Jay poses the question : "What is the hermeneutic of continuity that shows that prior to Nostra Aetate Jews and Muslims have the faith of Abraham in Catholic Theology? "
      This is what Lumen Gentium really says:
      But the plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator. In the first place amongst these there are the Muslims, who, PROFESSING TO HOLD THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM, along with us adore the one and merciful God, who on the last day will judge mankind.

      Hey! Let's do Nostra Aetate:
      This is what Jay pretends to be reading right on the screen from the Vatican website. He says he's reading the "actual text." About the 7 minute mark on the video

They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful all- powerful, Creator of heaven and earth who has spoke to man; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham, with whom the faith of Islam takes pleasure in submitting to God. "
      Jay then asks "Do you think the Jews and Catholics and Muslims all have the faith of Abraham?"
      But the real "actual text shows that Jay did some lying in order to mislead you and impress you.
      "3. The Church regards with esteem also the Moslems. They adore the one God, living and subsisting in Himself; merciful and all- powerful, the Creator of heaven and earth,(5) who has spoken to men; they take pains to submit wholeheartedly to even His inscrutable decrees, just as Abraham,WITH WHOM THE FAITH OF ISLAM TAKES PLEASURE IN LINKING ITSELF , submitted to God.

      @jackneals5585 lol all you want. I believe that saints are very much capable of committing error in their lifetimes and that some of these men were likely not saints

      I know it might be a bit tricky to know which denomination is right, but you have to remember that God wants you to do to heaven and that His love for you is infinite.

    3:00 ding, ding, ding! That's why Catholicsm AND EO are both wrong. You did both depart. Your shared Marian doctrines, and iconography, for the most basic of starters, are doctrines that crept in after the first 400 to 500 years of Christ's church. Reformation isn't about a new thing. It's about bringing you both back to a simpler faith.

      Man, where were protestants in the pre-Nicene Church, You can't even find a Church in most areas North of the Alps at the time of the Council of Nicea in 325 AD. Of the Latin Bishops, 1 Bishop came from SE France just to the other side of the Alps from what is the modern Italian/French Border. There was a Bishop from Iberia (Hosius), from Southern Italy, 1 from Libya, 1 from Dalmatia (modern Croatia/Serbia when it was Latin Rite) and 2 Papal Legates. Where were you protestants. You guys were not even n the picture. Modern 16th century heresy.

      @@palermotrapani9067 We were part of the catholic church while calling for reformation and return to Christianity before bad doctrine got inserted. We left when it was clear the pope and the councils weren't going to retract their pronouncements. I'm not a Calvinist, but John and the others were part of the Catholic church and were urging the church give up false doctrines but they wouldn't.

      @@ToeTag1968 Well it is likely everyone North of the Alps, as in other regions of the Roman empire pre Nicea were pagan, unless you are of Southern European ancestry along with parts of France, areas of North Africa, the Levant, Anatolia,/Asia Minor and as far east as India since Saint Thomas the Apostle got there.
      Calvin was from Northern France and was indeed a Catholic Deacon (Luther a Catholic priest). They rebelled against the Catholic Church and hence the movements they founded are defacto not Catholic and not in continuity with the Apostolic Church.

      @@palermotrapani9067 Catholicism started going off the rails with Mariology, iconography, prayers to dead saints, belief in purgatory, and the papal hierarchy. Those are doctrines that crept their way into the church after approx 400 years and beyond. The church goes too far doctrinally. Get back to basics.
