The Traddies are having a tough time working through that, which is why they go so ballistic when you point out that the similarities re: the filioque and Papal authority and their beef with VII and the Novus Ordo.

So far as I can tell, the positions of the two bodies are essentially similar, though the Church has seen fit to a) have the matter dealt with pastorally and b) not issue an ongoing stream of high-profile encyclicals addressing the matter such that the Faith is defined in many minds as revolving around the topic.<br /><br />The approach is different than the one taken by the Vatican, and, therefore, it's wrong and proof that the Orthodox Churches are schismatic.

However, the VII documents say nice things about traditional worship (especially of the Eastern variety), so it's ok to be a trad as long as you don't say that the Novus Ordo is <i>wrong</i>.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13883761718979175423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-79357759223054026582012-12-03T12:21:21.900-05:002012-12-03T12:21:21.900-05:00I have never understood the logic of Roman Catholi...I have never understood the logic of Roman Catholic Traddies (you Orthodox have to submit to the Pope, except when it comes to Vatican II and the Novus Ordo, which is ok to reject, because...well, we don't like it.
