The Canonical Authority of St. Cyprian of Carthage

Excerpted from “Orthodox Christianity - A Conversation with Father Peter Heers of ’The Orthodox Ethos’“ with Exposing Powerful Lies @exposingpowerfullieslivest5082 BUY the new book “On the Reception of the Heterodox into the Orthodox Church“: WATCH the three videos Fr. Peter mentions above on St. Basil’s canons on the reception of the heterodox: St. Basil the Great’s Canons on Reception of Converts (Canons 1 and 47) St Basil the Great on Reception of Converts (Canon 47) Orthodox Ecclesiology - Lesson 3 - St. Basil the Great, St. Augustine, and the Response to Nestorius In the middle of this excerpt, Fr. Peter addresses how some have characterized St. Cyprian’s view as everything outside the Church being “undifferentiated darkness.“ Fr. Peter misremembers the term and says “unmitigated darkness“ but the term is “undifferentiated darkness.“ This term, and it’s erroneous application to St. Cyprian’s thought, is first used, to our knowledge, by Fr. Thomas Hopko and Fr. John Erickson. --- Join over 1,400 other serious Orthodox Christians, Catechumens, and inquirers into Orthodoxy (1,050 on Patreon, 350 on ).
