DISPATCHES FROM THE WESTERN FRONT THE FUTURE OF THE ARCHDIOCESE OF RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCHES IN WESTERN EUROPE

by Paul Ladouceur, Public Orthodoxy

With all the attention devoted to the Eastern Front (the Ukraine) in the trench warfare between the Ecumenical Patriarchate (EP) and the Moscow Patriarchate (MP) for preeminence in Orthodoxy, the Western Front is largely ignored.

IS CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE FALL?

by Paul Ladouceur

Over the centuries the notion of a fall of humanity from a state of primeval bliss and communion with God has been, faute de mieux, a convenient theological coat-rack to hang such important Christian doctrines as the origin of evil and death, original sin, human moral weakness, the Incarnation of Christ and baptismal theology.

Στις 22 Απριλίου 2016, η Ιερά Σύνοδος της ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας της Βουλγαρίας εξέδωσε μία απόφαση[1] η οποία περιελάμβανε τις ενστάσεις της για το κείμενο εργασίας της αγίας και μεγάλης Συνόδου της Ορθόδοξης Εκκλησίας με τίτλο «Σχέσεις της Ορθοδόξου Εκκλησίας προς τον λοιπόν χριστιανικόν κόσμον».[2]

ORTHODOX THEOLOGIES OF THE AFTERLIFE: REVIEW OF THE DEPARTURE OF THE SOUL,” ORTHODOXY AND HETERODOXY

Paul Ladouceur

Editor’s Note: The following is a review of The Departure of the Soul According to the Teaching of the Orthodox Church, published April 2017 by St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery, Florence, Arizona. It was sent to us by Dr. Paul Ladouceur originally as four separate posts, but we have combined them here into one, since they are closely related and also since our readers are not unaccustomed to longer pieces here.

ΠΕΡΙ ΟΙΚΟΥΜΕΝΙΣΜΟΥ 1: ΠΟΙΟΣ ΜΠΟΡΕΙ ΝΑ ΣΩΘΕΙ;

ΤΟΥ PAUL LADOUCEUR, AMEN

Τόσο οι ορθόδοξοι οικουμενιστές όσο και οι ορθόδοξοι αντι-οικουμενιστές στηρίζονται στην ίδια θεμελιώδη αρχή, η οποία διατυπώθηκε με σαφήνεια σε μία αντι-οικουμενική διακήρυξη της Ιεράς Κοινότητας του Αγίου Όρους, το Απρίλιο του 1980: «Πιστεύουμε ότι η αγία ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία είναι η Μία, Αγία, Καθολική και Αποστολική Εκκλησία του Χριστού, η οποία κατέχει το πλήρωμα της χάριτος και της αληθείας».[1]

ON ECUMENOCLASM: LET US PRAY?

Paul Ladouceur, Public Orthodoxy

Orthodox opponents to ecumenism are highly critical of Orthodox participation in prayer and other services in common with non-Orthodox Christians.

ON ECUMENOCLASM: WHO IS A HERETIC?

 Paul Ladouceur, public orthodoxy

One of the preferred weapons of Orthodox opponents of ecumenism is to call ecumenism a heresy and to refer to non-Orthodox, and indeed often Orthodox who support ecumenism, as heretics.

ON ECUMENOCLASM: WHAT IS CHURCH?

 Paul Ladouceur

On April 22, 2016, the Holy Synod of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church issued a decision containing its objections to the draft document of the Holy and Great Council of the Orthodox Church on “Relations of the Orthodox Church with the Rest of the Christian World.”

ON ECUMENOCLASM: WHO CAN BE SAVED?

Orthodox ecumenists and anti-ecumenists both start from the same fundamental ecclesiological principle, succinctly expressed in an anti-ecumenical statement of the Sacred Community of Mount Athos in April 1980

MODERN CHALLENGES TO TRADITIONAL ORTHODOX PERSPECTIVES ON MARRIAGE

by Paul Ladouceur,

(This essay was originally delivered as a public talk at the June 2015 Fordham/OTSA conference on the upcoming Great and Holy Council of the Orthodox Church. It was part of a panel on canonical impediments to marriage.)

It will no doubt be useful for the Council to focus on harmonizing canonical impediments to marriage – especially marriages where one spouse is not Orthodox. But the Council risks not seeing the forest because of the trees. Other questions relating to marriage in the contemporary world are far more important.
