Q

Tome of Leo (A.D. 449), and specifically, how does the view of our and our Eastern
Orthodox brethren differ from that of our Roman brethren on this subject

A

A document explaining the position of the papacy in matters of Christology. It confesses the two natures of Christ. for the EO, it carried no binding authority. It wasn’t conciliar. The Roman church cites this as proof the See of Rome was used in consultation and deciding disagreements.

The tome of Leo was written in condemnation of Eutyches, who was preaching heresy that the Word did not take on actual human flesh from the mother of God. The EO are very cautious about the letter because it was written before the Chalcedonian council, yet talks using Nesterian-esk language. Mentioning that the divine did not suffer on the cross but only the human nature. However as mentioned this was written before Chalcedon, and the different uses of the terms, prosopon, persona, and hypostasis were still being used and not discussed yet.

Q

DISCUSS THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER FROM THE
FIRST PRAYER BOOK OF 1549 BRIEFLY THROUGH ITS VARIOUS VERSIONS UP TO
THE LAST ACCEPTED ORTHODOX VERSION OF 1928. INCLUDE WHO WAS THE
CHIEF COMPOSER OF THE 1549 BOOK, WHAT SOURCES WERE DRAWN ON IN ITS
COMPILATION, AND HOW IT IS THAT WE KNOW THAT THE SAME WAS AN
ACCEPTABLE “CATHOLIC WORK”. BE BRIEF AND TO THE POINT, SHOW A BASIC
UNDERSTANDING WITHOUT GOING INTO A GREAT DEAL OF DETAIL. SHOW AT
LEAST TWO POINTS IN WHICH THE ALLEGED 1979 BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER OF
THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH IS DEFICIENT WITH RESPECT TO ITS PREDECESSORS
AND WITH THE ORTHODOX CATHOLIC AND APOSTOLIC FAITH.-

A
  • 1549: The First Prayer Book, under King Edward VI, was chiefly authored by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. It aimed for a compromise between Catholic tradition and Protestant ideas. Sources included pre-Reformation service books and Lutheran materials.
  • Subsequent Revisions: The BCP went through several revisions, reflecting the religious climate. The 1662 version became the standard for the Church of England.
  • 1928: The last “orthodox” version incorporated some minor liturgical changes
    Deficiencies of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer (BCP) The 1979 revision of the Episcopal Church’s BCP has drawn criticism for departing from tradition in at least two ways:
    1. Inclusive Language: Replacing masculine references to God with gender-neutral terms, which some view as a departure from historical understanding of God.
    2. Ordination Rites: The ordination of women as priests, a practice not endorsed by the Catholic Church and some traditional Anglicans.
  • 1549: The first BCP, spearheaded by Archbishop Cranmer, aimed to bridge the gap between Catholicism and Protestantism. Sources included pre-Reformation service books and Lutheran materials.
  • 1552: A more Protestant revision under Edward VI, further distancing itself from Catholic practices.
  • 1559: Queen Elizabeth I restored a modified version of the 1552 BCP, seeking a middle ground again.
  • 1604: Minor changes under James I, including additions to the Catechism.
  • 1662: The Act of Uniformity established the 1662 BCP as the standard for the Church of England, solidifying its Protestant character.
  • 1928: The last “orthodox” version, incorporating minor liturgical adjustments but maintaining the core structure and theology of the 1662 BCP.
