Asked him on fb

What Order was it supposed to be?

I'll have to let you know when I get a reply

k

Back on topic though, do you think something's wrong with hair-shirts even?

never mind, I'm going to bed now actually

I'd have to do more thinking about it, since there is a place for increasing the hardship that a monastic goes through to increase their sanctity, and for some wearing a hair-shirt would be the right thing to do, but in general those methods of asceticism seem a bit extreme and prone to inflate one's pride

In particular the excessive flagellation when you don't have a solid foundation of prayer, fasting, vigil, etc

But I'm not a monastic and I don't run a monastery

So my opinion doesn't even matter here

Self flagellation...?

summary: it's bad because catholics.

@ChuuniMage Every time you talk, it is to slander catholics and then you have the nerve to talk about pride

Tell me, how long until you say that catholics dont believe in the divinity of Christ? Or that catholics arent Christian? Or that Catholicism was an invention of Constantine?

I believe I've already said the first two statements

😉

Maybe not the first one here

But I was having a discussion with a Thomist and what he was saying sounded disturbingly close to nestorianism

Can you let me know how, if I were to make the argument, Catholicism was invented by Constantine?

Well the things you say sound disturbingly close to protestantism

And that is something they love to say

<:orthokike:291522285020512256>

That's because Catholic|Protestants are two halves of the dialectic that Satan has split you two into

We look like Catholics to Prots, and we look like Prots to you

But the real answer is to do all the good parts of what both of you do

and we do them

because we have the actual fullness of the faith

pffffahaha

The only thing you have is complete spiritual delusion and arrogance beyond bounds

Observe how Im not a rabid dog trying to attack orthodoxy. I do that when that is the matter at hand. But Im talking about you

I would rather say that you have what is bad from both

Every virtue comes with a corresponding vice, yes.

"we look like prots to you"

No you fecking don't, don't be silly.

Well Eastern Lutherans probably look closer to EO than Rome looks to EO

Except the whole ordo salutis is entirely different lest Christification/Theosis

observe completely irrelevant observation!
Not an argument

Oh, wait, I misread that in the wrong direction

I thought it was a Dog saying Cats look like Prots

Lel self-flagellation though

Nothing wrong with self flagellation if done under a spiritual director
