DID MELANCTHON MISUSE AND LIE ABOUT ST AUGUSTINE? mini 🧵🧵

We need to talk about the problem of mistranslations.

I can't recall how many times, purposefully or innocently, false translations are shared and pushed in support of false claims. Though it can happen for everyone....Image
but the problems seems especially grace in some RC circles.

For example a "translation" of a letter by Melanchthon to Brenz is still oft shared, either in a translation by the anti-Lutheran polemicist, the Jesuit Grisar, or a newer from the Patheos blog, e.g. Image
The commonly shared version, the blog one, simply inserts the phrase "with us" into the text -though it has zero warrant in the text of the original Latin (seemingly to make it sound as if Melanchthon purposefully lied about St Augustine publicly?)

But what did Melanchthon say?

Did Robert Bellarmine conceded that St Augustine erred on the doctrine of the papacy⁉️

First ; An overview of the controversy between St Cyprian and bishop Stephan of Rome

Second ; St Augustine's interpretation of the controversy

A THREAD 🧵🧵🧵 Image
In 255 St Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, and primate of North Africa, wrote, along with the bishops of North Africa, a letter to bishop Stephan of Rome in which they informed him of their decision, judging the baptisms done by heretics invalid

They asked him regarding his opinion Image
The tone is more like a courteous notification than an invitation to debate (St Cyprian addresses Stephan as a brother rather as superior), he also refers to some documents defending his view and the judgement of the practice from Mauritania and Numedia, which he sends along, Image

The Myth of the Novelty of the Protestant Doctrine of Justification! Thread🧵

The idea that the Protestant notion of justification, as laid out by blessed Luther, is either novel or un-catholic utterly fails to consider that multiple bishops, teachers and cardinals in... Image
communion with Rome, saw it as orthodox, catholic and patristic. These remained in communion with Rome, not because they held to a different teaching on justification than Luther did, but because they saw Luther as erring on other doctrines.

Yet this should help us see this...
important lesson; that among many well-established and admired theologians, especially Augustinians (as indeed Luther was an Augustinian monk) his doctrine of justification wasn't viewed as novel

The conservative Roman Catholic Professor of Dogmatics Christian Washburn calls... Image

No – St Augustine did not believe in the doctrine of purgatory!

ARGUMENT;
1, The post grossly misframes Chemnitz

2, St Augustine did not believe in the doctrine of purgatory, defended

3, That prayers for the dead are pious and useful do not entail purgatory Image
First Point, I think this post is grossly misleading and uncharitable. If one wishes to criticize someone for bad scholarship or mischaracterizing another’s view, then one should himself certainly take the utmost care not to do that himself when offering his critique!
Chemnitz is not talking about an Originist School. In context Chemnitz has used the many preceding pages carefully tracing the development of different related aspects of what would later become purgatory, tracing them back to Origen’s teacher Clement of Alexandria...

Christmas is the quintessential Lutheran holiday for so many reasons - a thread 🧵

There are all the exterior and obvious things. Like how pastor Wichern, a Lutheran pastor in Hamburg, made the first Advent Wreath in 1839, or how blessed Luther himself, if not inventing... Image
then as the first championed and spread the wonderful and now ubiquitous tradition of the Christmas Tree, a historic fact from this great Reformer's life and a tradition first recorded among German and Baltic Lutherans in the 16th century. Or the widespread usage of vernacular.. Image
carols, like the heavenly tunes of the pious Lutheran composer Praetorius "Lo, How a Rose Ever Blooming"

Or the immortal Lutheran Sebastian Bach's Christmas Passions etc... and so many other examples could be provided

St Paul was married - but few know this! 🧵

Both St. Paul himself in the New Testament and the earliest apostolic tradition is clear that St. Paul was married. Yet many are unware of this as the later tradition, championed by zealous ascetic monks buried... Image
this earlier Scriptural and apostolic tradition. Apart from the fact that Jewish men following divine precepts married so as to raise up sons and multiple
St. Paul himself also indicates his marital status at least twice in the NT. First, 1 Corinthians 9:3 he defends himself...
against adversaries viewing him as a lesser apostle claiming his own apostleship as equal to that of the others. Hence he enjoys the same privileges as they do, such as bringing along their wives as St Peter had done, one we explicitly are told was married, Luke 4:38-40 Image
