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
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
The time I could spend doing that could be spent in scripture or the fathers or prayer or confession, etc.
