Word of the Day: Origenism

ORIGENISM. A number of theories either charged or attributed to Origen (A.D. 185-254), the great biblical exegete and spiritual writer. Among these theories was the pre-existence of souls, denial of the personal identity of the mortal and glorified bodies, and the claim that the devil and those in hell will eventually be saved, Origenism was condemned by the second Council of Constantinople in A.D. 553.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
