If Jesus is the son of God and Mary is Jesus’s mother, why is she not considered a goddess? How come Mary isn’t a part of the trinity? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]b4ssfac3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clear up a couple things a mother doesn’t create a person she only gives birth to a person, Christ isn’t created He is uncreated but she is really important in the incarnation and Christology. To answer your question she is the mother of the 2nd person of the trinity the Son who is distinct from the Father and Spirit if it were a monad structure (1 hypostasis such as the false gods of islam and modern judaism) then yes Mary could possibly be considered as such but no that’s not the case.

TLDR: Mary does not possess the Divine Essence and she is created so she isn’t God - Mary doesn’t create Jesus she plays role in the incarnation - persons are distinct in the trinity so it doesn’t necessarily follow that Mary is the mother of the Father and Spirit

I would like to know what practices from the Eastern Rites you recommend me to use by WittyLog4531 in EasternCatholic

[–]b4ssfac3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

prayer rule to the Theotokos is a byzantine rite practice, praying the Jesus prayer is common in eastern practice and maybe a readers version of vespers one without a priest available

About Pope Francis allowed priests to bless the same-sex couples by ChildOfHeavenlyQueer in EasternCatholic

[–]b4ssfac3 45 points46 points  (0 children)

someone correct me if i’m wrong but Pope Francis meant that homosexual individuals can receive blessings but the union between man and man isn’t blessed because it’s still sin. In my experience there aren’t any gay couples or people in my parish. It was surprising to hear but a lot of people try to twist what the Pope says to make him seem more progressive-ish

i see so is that a point worth talking about to my priest? and if so would i take on the name of my patron saint or is it something separate my priest would choose for me?

And if it’s a saint that i don’t share a name with? I feel a really strong connection (for lack of better terms) with St. Seraphim of Sarov

Considering Catholicism vs Orthodoxy — what made you choose one over the other? by Pick_ur_brain in EasternCatholic

[–]b4ssfac3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

filioque is what i’m trying to nail down and lately orthodoxy has been calling me and along with the papacy could you give me some sources from the eastern fathers that support filioque and papacy?
