Oh yes, is it some dogma of cahtolicism, for example, that Christ has no activities?

2019-04-05 06:37:46 UTC  

Because that is what would go against that

2019-04-05 06:40:08 UTC  

More properly, I mean that when you read the whole letter, it is clear that he is basing his entire argument against the Monothelitists on the grounds of the energy-essence distinction

2019-04-05 06:40:31 UTC  

And the fact that it is affirmed at Constantinople III means it is dogmatic

2019-04-05 06:41:05 UTC  

I have a question for everyone

2019-04-05 06:41:17 UTC  

What do you think of Theozoology?

2019-04-05 06:41:27 UTC  

I think you are trying too hard to see what isn't there

2019-04-05 06:42:07 UTC  

The text just mentions how even though Christ has two natures, with activities that are characteristic of both, it can't be said that there are two Christs, or that some activities don't belong to Christ

2019-04-05 06:42:24 UTC  

That is why, aftter the very sentence you quoted, it says

2019-04-05 06:43:02 UTC  

etc etc

2019-04-05 06:44:19 UTC  

I'm not attempting to say there are two christs

2019-04-05 06:44:35 UTC  

I'm trying to show you that the energy-essence distinction is all throughout the letter

2019-04-05 06:44:38 UTC  

That is what the letter is refering to, in that chapter

2019-04-05 06:44:59 UTC  

Yes, but he goes on and on about energy essence throughout the whole thing

2019-04-05 06:45:25 UTC  

Which is why I said, "the whole letter pretty much."

2019-04-05 06:45:29 UTC  

In other words: tehre is nothing in that letter that is rejected by Catholicism, unless you think that Catholicism says that Christ has no activities, or doesn't have two natures, etc

2019-04-05 06:45:47 UTC  

But he clearly makes a distinction between energy and essence

2019-04-05 06:46:17 UTC

2019-04-05 06:46:19 UTC  

As I said, you can call is whatever you like, but that doesn't change the fact that theere is nothing in that text against Catholicism

2019-04-05 06:46:26 UTC  

Pope Agatho does the same

2019-04-05 06:47:07 UTC  

Alrighty, then be consistent and stop hating on the Orthobros for energy-essence distinction

2019-04-05 06:47:10 UTC  

unless you say, again, that Catholicism professes that Christ has no activities

2019-04-05 06:47:51 UTC  

And whatever "energy-essence distinction is", it doesn't seem like this has anything to do with it

2019-04-05 06:47:59 UTC  

He is clearly speaking in the language of energy-essence distinction.

2019-04-05 06:48:45 UTC  

Go read Basil and Cyril when they write of the energy-essence distinction and you'll see they use the same language

2019-04-05 06:48:55 UTC  

Sophronius was well read in their writings

2019-04-05 06:49:36 UTC  

He isn't being flippant here. He knows exactly what he's saying, and he is using energy-essence metaphysics to defend orthodox Christology

2019-04-05 06:49:56 UTC  

"The difference of the essence is always understood from the difference of the activities."

2019-04-05 06:50:03 UTC  

He cannot be more clear

2019-04-05 06:50:21 UTC

Sophronius is not to be taken lightly
