Josiah Trenham is clearly trying to use Orthodoxy as a means of promoting his reactionary politics. I donโt understand how some canโt see this. Itโs very concerning, and it is unbecoming of his priesthood and an insult to our Church and faith.

Before I go line by line on this, remember his burden of proof is that Muslims and Christians WORSHIP the same God as asserted dogmatically by CCC 841. It is sophistry to show a vague mention of Muslims and Christians in the same sentence and assume this meets the burden of proof: Patriarch Bartholomew: No mention of worship in this quote, rather merely pointing out a common referent. Patriarch Theodore II: I visited the source on this quote and it is not a verbatim quote, it is a summary of what was said. As of now there is insufficient evidence that this is what was said or implied. orthodoxtimes.com/patriarch-of-aโฆ Patriarch John X: This quote is about 7 steps short of his burden of proof. No mention of worship or same God. Patriarch Theophilus III: Again this is well short of his burden of proof. Patriarch Kyrill: This, similar to the first quote, points out a common referent but not common WORSHIP. Patriarch Porfirjie: Are you kidding me Lewis? This quote is literally just saying the Christians would offer prayers at their altar for the Muslims. Patriarch Daniel: Again, common opinions? This is the best you got Lewis? Patriarch Daniil: So your point is he met with people to help with humanitarian efforts for both Christians and Muslims? Seriously? Patriarch Ilia II: Yes Muslims are brothers in humanity, what does this have to do with us worshipping the same God? As you can see, not a SINGLE quote here meets his burden of proof posited in his own doctrine found in CCC 841. This post is nothing but sophistry and total cope that his church DOGMATICALLY asserts that Muslims are โfirst amongst those whom the plan of Salvation includesโ and โadore the true God alongside Christiansโ.

Apparently this is too hard to figure out for the Roman Catholics





@TwiceBornSpirit @RealBenMichael So is Palamas a heretic? Also, I would be delighted for you to share the heresy in Vatican II.

St. Gregory Palamas (1296-1359): Brutally taken out of context by Latin schismatics. Aside from my post yesterday, here is further evidence of him explicitly saying they do not worship God, but serve Satan: โThey have turned away from the true light and embraced a shadow, calling it God, but it is not He whom we worship. They think they are pleasing God by their works, but they are far from the truth.โ Patrologia Graeca Vol. 151 In Greek, "แผฯฮตฯฯฯฮฌฯฮทฯฮฑฮฝ ฯแฝธ ฯแฟถฯ ฯแฝธ แผฮปฮทฮธฮนฮฝแฝธฮฝ ฮบฮฑแฝถ แผฮฝฯฮตฮปฮฌฮฒฮฟฮฝฯฮฟ ฯฮบฮนแฝฐฮฝ, ฮบฮฑฮปฮฟแฟฆฮฝฯฮตฯ ฮฑแฝฯแฝดฮฝ ฮฮตฯฮฝ, แผฮปฮปโ ฮฟแฝฮบ แผฯฯฮนฮฝ ฮฟแฝฯฮฟฯ แฝฮฝ แผกฮผฮตแฟฯ ฯฯฮฟฯฮบฯ ฮฝฮฟแฟฆฮผฮตฮฝ." archive.org/details/patrolโฆ > โAs for Muhammad, we do not see that the Prophets bear witness of him, nor do we have the witness of him performing any miracles and noteworthy works. It is true that Muhammad started from the East and came to the West, as the sun travels from East to West. **Nevertheless, he came with war, knives, pillaging, forced enslavement, murders,** **__and acts that are not from the good God but instigated by the chief manslayer, the devil.__**โ `โ St. Gregory Palamas, Against Islam: Letter to His Church While in Turkish Captivity.` > โAnother disciple writes, โEven if an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than that which we have preached to you, let him be accursedโ (Gal. 1:8). **The Evangelist says, โEvery spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of Godโ (1 Jn. 4:3).** **__How shall we accept a book (the Qurโan) that says there shall come one (Muhammad) from God, who is not actually the Lord, when the Evangelist declares, that one is not from God, if he does not confess that Jesus, who has come in the flesh, is the Lord?__** **__This is not possible to do โ no, it is not.__**โ `โ St. Gregory Palamas, Against Islam: Letter to His Church While in Turkish Captivity.`

Hot fucking take: Forcing birth just to dump a baby into adoption is way more unethical than having an abortion.
