Book excerpt: “Wealth without work Pleasure without conscience Science without humanity Knowledge without character Politics without principle Commerce without morality Worship without sacrifice. https://vidjambov.blogspot.com/2023/01/book-inventory-vladimir-djambov-talmach.html Why is the book presented at the Council of 1640 so remarkable? The patriarch of Jerusalem and all Palestine, Nektarios – a contemporary of St. Peter – explained this by the fact that it contains "a confession that is right and pure, not having in itself the slightest admixture from the novelties of any other Confessions." “ Peter Mogila, - he wrote in the preface, -when he was elected and ordained an Orthodox Metropolitan, found his flock infected with some new opinions of unbelievers - opinions completely contrary to the right, ancient teaching. Therefore, as a good Shepherd and a zealous defender of the Faith, he undertook a God-pleasing intention to win over and turn the Russian Church to that pure teaching, which she adhered to at first; and all new opinions that have arisen in it to destroy by the root and, thus, to fertilize his spiritual field, and to make it fruitful. Thinking well about his business, he immediately set to work. He summoned men who were famous for their enlightenment from his diocese to the Metropolitanate, and even before that he summoned three bishops under his control. We discussed a lot and, in the end, everyone, with general advice and agreement, decided: to write a summary of his Faith ... ",- which was done. … Before this "Catechism" of St. Peter there were ancient confessions and statements of faith against ancient heresies, and catechisms that were written after the fall of the Roman Church. But since the 16th century, the situation has changed, since Protestantism arose in the West and the previous beliefs became insufficient: they did not give answers to new questions and did not have information about new delusions.
Download or read book The Catechism of St Peter Mogila written by J J Overbeck and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-21 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an updated edition of the 1898 version of St. Peter Mogila's Catechism. It has been newly typeset and, with attention to the Greek and Latin, its language has been updated, and several Scriptural and Patristic citations corrected. Of the original author, St. Peter Mogila (1597-1646) was Metropolitan of Kiev and All Rus during a time of great theological need. With Roman Catholics and Protestants in the heat of polemics, St. Peter produced an authoritative Catechism which taught the Orthodox faith in a comprehensive and systematic way. It is arranged in three parts according to the three theological virtues, Faith, Hope, and Love, and through these it offers foundational instruction on the Creed, the Lord's Prayer, the Beatitudes, and the Ten Commandments. Along the way it discusses the fundamental doctrines of Orthodox Christianity. Although internally it calls itself a Confession, and certainly functions in that capacity, its question and answer format lends itself more aptly to the genre of catechetical instruction, hence its going by that name. Moreover, despite its occasional use of a Latin idiom in the conveyance of some teachings, this is by no means evidence of capitulation to any non-Orthodox sentiments. It is thoroughly Orthodox, and for that matter was forged in great awareness of what makes Orthodox Christianity the fullness of the Christian Faith, distinct from both Roman Catholicism and Protestantism. As one will notice from the Letters of Patriarchs Nectarius and Parthenius, also included within the present text, not only was this Catechism composed and approved at the highest levels of the Russian Orthodox Church, this particular Catechism was also given the express personal approval and formal recommendation of the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem, respectively, together with over twenty other Bishops and clergy. Further, it was officially received at the Particular Council of Jerusalem held under Dositheus, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, in 1672, in these words: "This [Confession of Peter Mogila] the Eastern Church has entirely received, and does receive." This Catechism is, therefore, together with St. Philaret's, among the foremost Catechisms of the Eastern Church, and as such may be read with great spiritual profit, and rightly belongs in the hands of all Orthodox Christians, Catechumens, and Inquirers.

Download or read book Why We re Catholic written by Trent Horn and published by Catholic Answers Press. This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "How can you believe all this stuff? This is the number-one question Catholics get asked and, sometimes, we ask ourselves. Why do we believe that God exists, that he became a man and came to save us, that what looks like a wafer of bread is actually his body? Why do we believe that he inspired a holy book and founded an infallible Church to teach us the one true way to live? Ever since he became Catholic, Trent Horn has spent a lot of time answering these questions, trying to explain to friends, family, and total strangers the reasons for his Catholic faith. Some didn't believe in God, or even in the existence of truth. Others said they were spiritual but didn't think you needed religion to be happy. Some were Christians who thought Catholic doctrines over-complicated the pure gospel. And some were fellow Catholics who had a hard time understanding everything they professed to believe on Sunday. Why We're Catholic assembles the clearest, friendliest, most helpful answers that Trent learned to give to all these people and more. Beginning with how we can know reality and ending with our hope of eternal life, it s the perfect way to help skeptics and seekers (or Catholics who want to firm up their faith) understand the evidence that bolsters our belief and brings us joy" --
