Salvation for Unbaptized Children: St. Perpetua
A common matter I’ve found online regarding baptism is the question of whether babies or children who die unbaptized are saved. It’s a somewhat sordid subject in my opinion. Even I, who am convinced that children are capable of cruelties … Continue reading

The Filioque: St. Venantius Fortunatus
Recently, I’ve been reading the poetry and prose works of St. Venantius Fortunatus, a sixth-century Italian who later immigrated to Merovingian Gaul. There he published many books of poetry that also included the occasional prose. He later became the bishop … Continue reading

Orthodoxy & Universalism: A Cordial Response to a Critic
Craig Truglia recently addressed my earlier blog post. I have decided to give a response. Originally there was an audio recording, but given its poor quality, I have decided to take it down and just summarize with text. First, I … Continue reading

Orthodoxy & Universal Salvation: Are the Two Compatible?
For about the past year or so now, some corners of the Orthodox blogosphere has been consumed with this question. In my experience, most who have dealt with the issue have been quite hostile to the idea of apocatastasis or … Continue reading
Netodoxy & Its Apologists: Caveat fidelis
“The wise conceal knowledge, but the mouth of the fool is close to confusion.” – Proverbs 10:14 I have a confession. I despise with an unbridled passion online Christian apologetics. It is a paradoxical sentiment given that so much of … Continue reading

On the Stupidity of Conciliar Fundamentalism: It Leads to Schism
In a recent article at Orthodox Christian Theology, Craig Truglia wrote that a strong case can be made for defeating the so-called heresy of apokatastasis by invoking the doctrine of conciliar fundamentalism. He had written the article in response to … Continue reading

On Recycling Old & Vapid Arguments: Timothy Flanders & the Orthodox Church
One has to be fairly impressed with the article by Timothy Flanders in OnePeterFive about a month ago titled, “I Left Eastern Orthodoxy for the Church Led by Pope Francis, and I don’t Regret It.” For an article whose title ostensibly … Continue reading

The Filioque: A Response to Critics
St. Augustine of Hippo, The Lateran, 6th century CE In my previous blog post, I argued that the filioque as initially formulated by Saint Augustine of Hippo was perfectly orthodox. While I expected a great deal of criticism for making … Continue reading

The Filioque: A Brief Opinion
St Gall, Stiftsbibliothek MS 382, p. 10 – Nicene Creed in Greek and Latin (mid-tenth or early eleventh century) My position on the filioque, a clause that a number of Latin churches added to the Nicene Creed over the course of … Continue reading

Brief Comments on David Bentley Hart’s Article Concerning the Lord’s Prayer
