St. Athanasius’ Catholic Beliefs

In this post I will highlight some of the very Catholic/Orthodox beliefs held by the great theologian and Trinitarian apologist St. Athanasius, the man who opposed Arius at the Council of Nicaea. All emphasis will be mine. Apostolic Tradition 6. For not only in outward form did those wicked men dissemble, putting on as the Lord says sheep's clothing, and appearing like whited sepulchres; but they took those divine words in their mouth, while they inwardly cherished evil intentions. And the fir

The grace we receive

Anglican sacramental life receives Baptism and Holy Communion as gifts instituted by Christ, through which God joins us to Christ, nourishes his Church, and forms a life of holiness, hospitality, and love.

The Canon as Protestantism’s Achilles’ Heel Pt. 2

I continue with the extracts from Eusebius’ history in regards to the debates and disagreements over the canon: The Canon as Protestantism’s Achilles’ Heel Pt. 1. Book VI Chapter 14. The Scriptures mentioned by Him. 1. To sum up briefly, he has given in the Hypotyposes abridged accounts of all canonical Scripture, not omitting the disputed books, — I refer to Jude and the other Catholic epistles, and Barnabas and the so-called Apocalypse of Peter. 2. He says that the Epi

The Canon as Protestantism’s Achilles’ Heel Pt. 1

In this post I will be quoting sections of Eusebius’ Church History in respect to the various debates and disagreements over the canonicity of particular books, which were/are considered sacred. Some of these writings did not make it into the canon but were highly regarded and viewed as inspired by some if not many early Christians. The purpose in highlighting these debates is to show the dilemma that Protestants who affirm Sola Scriptura face since one cannot have the Scriptures as the

The Apostle John’s Love of Christ’s Lost Sheep

The following historical anecdote is taken from Eusebius’ Church History, Book III. It shows the great love that John had for Christ’s flock and his willingness to sacrifice everything for their salvation. All emphasis is mine. Chapter 23. Narrative Concerning John the Apostle. 1. At that time the apostle and evangelist John, the one whom Jesus loved, was still living in Asia, and governing the churches of that region, having returned after the death of Domitian from his exile o

The church that wasn’t there

I arrived in Worcester with time to spare before a family lunch. We were all coming from different points on the map. My son, his partner and my granddaughter had travelled from Ludlow.

Scripture in the Church

Anglicanism receives Holy Scripture as the first and norming authority for the Church’s faith, read in the worship, doctrine, ministry, and common life of the Church.

The faith once received

Anglicanism is not best understood as a novel theological system, a denominational compromise, or a loose permission structure for private preference, but as a disciplined way of receiving and practicing the apostolic and catholic faith.

Why we need the Church

Many Christians have learned to want Christ while treating the Church as optional. Yet Christ gathers a people, not isolated believers, and gives them Scripture, fellowship, authority, worship, and the sacraments as ordinary means of grace.

Rabbinic Cursing of Christians

There is an ancient Jewish prayer that seems to date back from a time shortly after the destruction of Jerusalem, where the Jews in their synagogues would curse the minim (heretics). The prayer is known as Birkat haMinim. The minim most definitely include Christians, since this was a title given to them by the Jews. There is additional evidence that Christians were/are included in this daily cursing, since a form of this prayer was found in an 9th-10th manuscript, which was recovered

More on Augustine & the Filioque

In this post I will quoting from St. Augustine’s On the Holy Trinity, Book 15. All emphasis will be mine. Chapter 25.— The Question Why the Holy Spirit is Not Begotten, and How He Proceeds from the Father AND the Son, Will Only Be Understood When We are in Bliss. For if any belong to Him, although far duller in intellect than those, yet when they are freed from the body at the end of this life, the envious powers have no right to hold them.
