Ecclesiology 201 Guidelines

Discussion on matters of general mainstream Christian churches. What are the differences between Catholics and protestants? How has the charismatic movement affected the church? Are Southern baptists different from fundamentalist baptists? It is also for discussions about the nature of the church.

This forum is primarily for Christians to discuss matters of Christian doctrine, and is not the area for debate between atheists (or those opposing orthodox Christianity) and theists. Inquiring atheists (or sincere seekers/doubters/unorthodox) seeking only Christian participation and having demonstrated a manner that does not seek to undermine the orthodox Christian faith of others are also welcome, but must seek Moderator permission first. When defining “Christian” for purposes of this section, we mean persons holding to the core essentials of the historic Christian faith such as the Trinity, the Creatorship of God, the virgin birth, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the atonement, the future bodily return of Christ, the future bodily resurrection of the just and the unjust, and the final judgment. Persons not holding to these core doctrines are welcome to participate in the Comparative Religions section without restriction, in Theology 201 as regards to the nature of God and salvation with limited restrictions, and in Christology for issues surrounding the person of Christ and the Trinity. Atheists are welcome to discuss and debate these issues in the Apologetics 301 forum without such restrictions. Additionally, there may be some topics that within the Moderator's discretion fall so outside the bounds of mainstream orthodox doctrine that may be more appropriately placed within Comparative Religions 101.

  • Francis given 'filial correction' for 'propagating heresies'

    ROME, September 23, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) – Expressing “profound grief” and “filial devotion,” Catholic clergy and lay scholars from around the world have issued what they are calling a “Filial Correction” to Pope Francis for “propagating heresy.”

    The Filial Correction, in the form of a 25-page letter, bears the signatures of sixty-two Catholic academics, researchers, and scholars in various fields from twenty countries. They assert that Pope Francis has supported heretical positions about marriage, the moral life, and the Eucharist that are causing a host of “heresies and other errors” to spread throughout the Catholic Church.

    The correction was delivered to the Pope at his Santa Marta residence on August 11, 2017. No similar action has taken place within the Catholic Church since the Middle Ages, when Pope John XXII was admonished for errors which he later recanted on his deathbed.

    Sounds interesting!! But probably will take till deathbed for repentance, if ever!

    Francis is a liberal. He won't care.

      according to the article they released the letter publicly since Francis ignored them completely when they sent it to him earlier.

        The wrap-around advertisement for the Washington Post Express yesterday was paid for by "Catholics for Choice" and featured a "devout" ex-nun and grandmother.

          The claim that "no similar action has taken place within the Catholic Church since the Middle Ages" seems false. Ultimately, this is basically the same thing as when some notable Catholics made a formal dissent from Humanae Vitae, which wasn't even a century ago. As far as I can tell, that claim just gets made to try to make this seem like a bigger deal.

          Past popes have sometimes taken over a year to answer dubias. Considering that, expecting a response in less than 2 months (which is what this group apparently did) seems a bit presumptuous.

            Seems to me there is big difference. Lots of libs Catholics don't like Humanae Vitae because they want to ignore doctrine of Catholics, instead follow world!! On other hand in 'filial coorection' they are asking Francis to stop spread of heresy.
