2.7 Third Constantinople: Where There's a Will, There's Two | Way of the Fathers with Mike Aquilina

Leave it to intellectuals (in any age) to “solve” the world’s problems in ways that create bigger problems. Monothelitism was a religious idea concocted by policy wonks in boardrooms. It was supposed to remedy the doctrinal differences that divided Constantinople from Egypt. It failed to do that, and it also provoked a schism between Constantinople and all of western Christendom. The Third Council of Constantinople was called in 680 to clean up the mess.

    A noble task to the unite the realm under a faith that restored growing divisions amongst Christendom. To see it fail so utterly is a tragedy, especially since you remark at the end that in the last council to finally put the matter to bed and restore the wrongs of the first council, some of the bishops and church men couldn't even make it because they had been conquered already by the islamic hordes...

    Why is Mike Aquilina quoting from Cardinal Schönborn after giving an exposé on Church saints & a martyr who courageously defended true Catholic teaching amidst heretical teaching that predominated in their day?!?!? Is he not aware of Cardinal Schönborn's expressed disappointment in the Church's admonishment of blessing same-sex so-called "couples" or "unions"?!?!?!

    I assume it's an older work. Despite how he has been recently, Cardinal Schonborn was once a scholar worth paying attention to. We still quote Tertullian's early works despite the fact that he started his own sect later on...

    I adore Thee O Christ and, I praise Thee because by Thy Holy Cross, Thou hast redeemed the world... Cardinal Schönborn, quoted near the end of the podcast exalts human freedom, but does he exalt the Cross it takes to defend the perennial and universal teachings in the Catechism he helped author! It is a sincere question: SEE ONLINE FROM CRISIS MAGAZINE (& OTHER RELATED ARTICLES) "On Mother and Teacher in equal measure, a reply to Cardinal Schönborn 2021... Truth & Life RSV-CE 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, † 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to the flesh, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; 27 but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, † 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, † 29 so that no flesh might boast in the presence of God. † 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption; † 31 therefore, as it is written, " Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord." † 1 Corinthians 1:23-31 RSV-CE

    Hey I am a few days away from completing Full Consecration to Our Blessed Mother. Could you keep me in your prayers my brother-in-Christ that I continue through to the end? I do not want to slip like I did on the Consecration to St.Joseph. God bless you, through the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary, in the Most Holy Name of Our Blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
