Vigilius and Historical Ecclesiology: Response to MHFM

[@Jerônimo_de_Estridão]

1:33:20 "Roman synod accepted imperial depositions" this made perfect sense with the council decision that they depose and excomunicate Vigilius but at the same time did not break communion with the Petrine chair/Roman See, because that church is not represented solely by his Archbishop, but also the synod of roman bishops who would elect a new head.

[@OrthodoxChristianTheology]

Just as they did with Vigilius ' predecessor

[@josiahalexander5697]

Ooooh you just made something click

[@TruthBeTold7]

Craig, thanks for this lengthy video response.

[@JCGaladhrim]

While I usually pay very little attention to the Dimond Bros, I felt their video on Vigilius was a serious attempt to engage on this topic. As a consequence, I am very happy to see an Orthodox response! Thank you for all the work you put into this, Craig!

Been waiting for an Orthodox to respond to this

[@willtheperson7224]

At least they made an actual argument as opposed to their other videos against us where they called St Gregory a Hindu and the E/E Distinction as polytheism -_-

[@NavelOrangeGazer]

Maybe they figured out that vids like that will do nothing but bleed rc membership once someone scratches the surface and realizes they are completely ignorant on the topic...

[@willtheperson7224]

@@NavelOrangeGazer possibly, but they're still wrongheaded in their criticisms of us.

Great video even to a laman like myself Christ has Risen!

_Consensus_ was also a key-concept in Roman politics. It would be interesting to see how that relates to the ecclesiastical use. When Vatican I rejects the _consensus ecclesiae,_ what exactly is it rejecting? I bet different Catholics will give different answers. Edit: "con-sensus" would be the literal translation of συμ-φρονοῦντας - both mean "being of the same mind", unless if you meant to write συμ-φονοῦντας

[@Danielqu976]

Mfhm when he realise calling someone a Hindu isnt an argument.

Constitutions etc. are re-interpreted through the doctrine of "progressive interpretation". Hence the development of "privacy" and from this "abortion rights" , even though the American Constitution´s basic aim is to foster "the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness", which abortion rights directly contradicts.

[@OrthodoxChristianTheology]

They obviously did not conceive of privacy in these terms considering laws against abortion were very old and universal.

The law of God cannot be changed by man. You cannot compare a pagan secularist/Protestant document to ecclesiastical one, it is ridiculous.

Infallibility doctrine exposes Romanism as goofy. There's no epistemic principle by which one can know what is infallible that does not render the doctrine superfluous.

[@gk10101]

it would be cool if the pope declared, "only God is infallible"

[@LevPolyasky.]

☦️Good refutation, learned a lot, good work with the Church, only wished that you wouldn't be too soft with someone who calls us "quote orthodox" & "heretics", who engages in revisionist history & himself not even a real Catholic but a schismatic like the rest of Protestants. I also wish you would take Scripture at face value like you take the Councils - this is the traditional Christian view which the fathers all believed (St. Palamas insisted their doctrines are infallible btw) & the lables "literalists" or "fundamentalists" are invented Modernist terms (we call it basics in Christian belief). A serious Catholic to engage with would be Robert Sungenis, in my humble opinion.
