Q&A Podcast #1 (06/08/22)

(1) Philip Blosser said that "universalis octavus synodus" written in the document Constantinople 869. Can you confirm that the manuscropt by Anasthasius Bibliothecarus (the Librarian) has that phrase?

(2) Does Rome’s acceptance of 869 after it had been annulled by 879 proof that Catholicism if false? Did John VIII ratify the 879 council?

(3) This is awesome. If you could please give us the basics of Eastern Orthodox views regarding a bishop's primacy of jurisdiction above other bishops. I understand that there is no one, unified answer among the orthodox on this matter so it would really be great for you to give us an "idiot's guide" on it. Also, I would love to know what, in your opinion, is the BEST argument against Vatican I's view of the Papacy from the Orthodox side and why you think it still isn't enough to convince you.

(4) My question is what's the morality in sharing PDF or downloading movie from torrents? Is a Catholic committing mortal sin if he/she is doing this?

(5) I would like to hear more about how Rome became the historic seat of Peter instead of Antioch. I know the claims that it was because of his martyrdom there but that seems like a weak argument.


(6) Does the promise of Christ to Peter entail indefectibility of the Papacy? Is the indefectibility of the Papacy eluded to by the patristic evidence (ex. Phillip the legate at Ephesus)? How would you articulate the doctrine of indefectibility? How do you justify the corruption of the Papacy in the past? How do you justify Pope Francis’s relationship with the globalist agenda and movement?

(7) Do you think we have ex cathedra papal pronuncements in the first millenium and if so which specific statements in your opinion could be qualified and why to ex cathedra, irreroformable level of papal teaching?

(8) The authority of the church to institute the practice of communion in one kind would be an interesting one to me.

(9) Heres another question, does your book on Melkizedech take a more Roman Catholic approach to the priesthood or is it compatible with the Eastern understanding of priesthood/sacrifice etc? Like would Orthodox and EC be open to reading/studying from your book
