Kyrie Elieson

Satan sitting out in the desert rn waiting for this

In order that Christ’s Redemption may be applied to us we must do penance. We must not deceive ourselves, for our forefathers have all passed by that way; young and old, small and great; in short, all have washed their feet and their hands in the waters of penance.

~St. Francis de Sales

"The greatest heresy" lol these people think the dogma of papal infallibility, unanimously upheld by the Church Fathers, is a heresy worse than Arianism or Nestorianism. Really shows their true colours.

Erik Ybarra has already addressed all of this yet these people refuse to listen

So has to Council of Sarcida--which then led to Flavians appeal as an application to the canons of such council--The Sixth Council of Constantinople (Canon XXI), Session III of the Council of Ephesus, Session II, III and XVI of the Council of Chalcedon, the Letter of Agatho, the Formula of Hormisdas (In which all Eastern bishops signed), St. Bede, St. Maximos, Pope St. Boniface, St. Ireanaeus, etc.

St. Bede the Venerable Historian (672-735):
Universal Papal Primacy of the Roman See

"St. Bede the Venerable (672-735), who is declared Doctor of the Church by Pope Leo III (1899), and venerated in a Feast for the Catholic Church on May 25 and for the Eastern Orthodox on May 27, speaks to the universal primacy of the Pope of Rome. Notice in the first citation, Bede recognizes the invisible principle of unity, the Holy Spirit, but then admits its co-operation with the visible principle of unity, i.e. the Pope. In the second citation, Bede records the decease of Pope St. Gregory the Great, and notes that he held “pontifcial power” over all the churches of the world, not least England or the West.

“Following the example of the blessed ever-Virgin Mary, who was married and at the same time unstained, the Church conceives us as a Virgin by the working of the Holy Spirit; she gives birth to us as a Virgin without birth pangs; and as a woman married to one person but impregnated by another, throughout her individual parts that make her one and catholic, she remain visibly united to the legitimate [Roman] Pontiff set over her, but she increases in number by the invisible power of the Holy Spirit” (In Lucam; PL 92, 330B)

“At this time, that is, in the year of our Lord the blessed Pope Gregory, after having most gloriously governed the Roman Apostolic see thirteen years, six months, and ten days, died, and was translated to an eternal abode in the kingdom of Heaven. Of whom, seeing that by his zeal he converted our nation, the English, from the power of Satan to the faith of Christ, it behooves us to discourse more at large in our Ecclesiastical History, for we may rightly, nay, we must, call him our apostle; because, as soon as he began to wield the pontifical power over all the world, and was placed over the Churches long before converted [which were] to the true faith, he made our nation, till then enslaved to idols, the Church of Christ, so that concerning him we may use those words of the Apostle; “if he be not an apostle to others, yet doubtless he is to us; for the seal of his apostleship are we in the Lord.” (Ecclesiastical History, Book II, Ch. 1)

As for “over all the world” – We know it doesn’t mean “over all the Western world” because of the same wording of “all the world” in other places which include Egypt and Greece (Book 1, Ch. XXV)"

Pope St. Boniface I (A.D. 422) – The Universal Jurisdiction of the See of Rome in the East:

"Pope St. Boniface had often stated in his letters that the Roman Church holds jurisdiction over the universal communion of churches. He had no doubts about it. However, these statements were in no sense new, since they were just echos of his predecessors going back to Pope Siricius (A.D. 384), Pope St. Damasus (A.D. 366-384), Pope Liberius (A.D. 352-366), and even Pope St. Julius (A.D. 337-352), and even further back. A very famous letter wherein St. Boniface reveals his understanding of the relationship between the Eastern churches and the Roman See is quite astonishing out of all of them, however. Here below, we get the Roman gloss on the extent of jurisdiction which was understood to have been at play in the 4th century beginning with St. Athanasius and on through to the beginning of the 5th century under the Pontificate of Pope St. Innocent I (A.D. 401-417). It is rather odd that St. John Chrysostom’s story is not mentioned since Innocent definitely played a fundamental role in getting his holy name back into the sacred ditpcyha of the Eastern divine services. I think, however, most of all, what is here being stated is over 5 centuries before the Greeks began to suspect the West for a Papalist heresy.

“The care of the universal Church, laid upon him, attends to the blessed Apostle Peter, by the Lord’s decree; which indeed, by the witness of the gospel, he knows to be founded himself; nor can his honor ever be free from anxieties, since it is certain that the supreme authority (summam rerum) depends on his deliberation. Which things carry my mind even to the regions of the East, which by the force of our solicitude we in a manner behold…As the occasion needs it, we must prove by instances that the greatest Eastern churches, in important matters, which required greater discussion, have always consulted the Roman see, and, as often as need arose, asked its help. Athanasius and Peter, of holy memory, Bishops of the Church of Alexandria, asked the help of this see. When the Church of Antioch had been in trouble a long time, so that there was continual passing to and fro for this, first under Meletios, afterwards under Flavian, it is notorious that the Apostolic See was consulted. By whose authority, after many things done by our Church, every one knows that Flavian received the grace of communion, which he would have gone without if it were not because of letters from here acknowledging it. The Emperor Theodosius, of merciful memory, considering the ordination of Nectarius and its ratification, because it was not according to our rule [since he was a laymen], send an embassy of councilors and bishops, and solicited a letter of communion to be regularly dispatched to him from the Roman see, to confirm his episcopate [Nectarius’s]. A short time since, that is, under my predecessor Innocent, of blessed memory, the pontiffs of the Eastern churches, grieving at their severance from the communion of blessed Peter, asked by their legates for reconciliation, as your charity remains”(Coustant 1039)

What Boniface here states with regard to the Roman see was not privately held by the Pope himself, but also the same view was held by a Greek historian/Lawyer in Constantinople name Salminius Hermias Sozomenus (A.D. 400-450), or commonly Sozomen for short (Σωζομενός), who recounts the history of St. Athanasius [as well as other Nicaean bishops who were deposed] and his deposition by the Eastern synods, and the subsequent Roman exoneration :

“…the Bishop of Rome, having investigated into the accusations of each [Athanasius, Paul of Cple, Marcecllus of Ancyra, & Asclepas of Gaza), found them all agreeing with the Nicene synod, admitted them to communion, as agreeing with him. And insofar as the care of the universal church belonged to Pope Julius on account of the rank of his see, he restored each to his respective Church”" (Ecclesiastical History – Book III, Ch. VIII)

ST. ZOSIMUS, 417-418

The Primacy and the Infallibility of the Roman Pontiff [From the epistle (29) "In requirendis" to the African bishops, Jan. 27, 417]

"100 ( I) In seeking the things of God . . . preserving the examples of ancient tradition ... you have strengthened the vigor of your religion... with true reason, for you have confirmed that reference must bemade to our judgment, realizing what is due the Apostolic See, since all of us placed in this position desire to follow the Apostle, from whom the episcopate itself and all the authority of this name have emerged. Following him we know how to condemn evils just as (well as how) to approve praiseworthy things. Take this as an example, guarding with your sacerdotal office the practices of the fathers you resolve that (they) must not be trampled upon, because they made their decisions not by human, but by divine judgment, so that they thought that nothing whatever, although it concerned separated and remote provinces, should be concluded, unless it first came to the attention of this See, so that what was a just proclamation might be confirmed by the total authority of this See, and from this source (just as all waters proceed from their natal fountain and through diverse regions of the whole world remain pure liquids of an uncorrupted source), the other churches might assume what [they ought to teach, whom they ought to wash, those whom the water worthy of clean bodies would shun as though defiled with filth incapable of being cleansed."
