But, actually to begin correctly, I need to divide that phrase into two related phrases, the intercession of the saints and the invocation of the saints. What is the difference between the two phrases? The first […]

https://olashirt.com/n22vazkmflc Hm, I know that the juicier subject is the intercession of the saints, but let me take up the subject of the assumption of the Theotokos because it will let me make some points about the differences in approach between the East and the West. OK, so both the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic believe […]

Well, Dave asked me to enumerate what else the Orthodox believe about the Theotokos. This list is in addition to what was mentioned previously. 1.Â Almost of all us believe that she was assumed into heaven – but we think the Roman Church was very wrong to label this a dogma. 2.Â There is a […]

Why do we call her the Theotokos?

16 March 2009 · by Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

So, why do we call the Virgin Mary the Theotokos? Hmm, no, I am not talking about the theological justification for the term. I mean, why do we use the term, “Theotokos,” and do not simply use the English, “Mother of God?” After all, that term has been used by both Roman Catholic and Protestant. […]

https://www.daathize.com.br/ssqkzid82g4 Yesterday’s post pointed out that according to both the Bible and the Talmud, Bathsheba was considered to be innocent. In spite of that, both medieval and Victorian artists portrayed her as a willing participant, perhaps the main seductress, and, at a minimum, one who should have known better, given the way she publicly exposed herself.
