I know — the Immaculate Conception. It all comes before the Visitation. But don’t you celebrate the Visitation at a different time than the Romnan Catholic Church does?

“I know — the Immaculate Conception.”

Not for us. We do not subscribe to the dogma of the Immaculate Conception as it seems to us to be a Christological heresy unknown to the consensus Patrum (unknown even to +Thomas Aquinas).

“But don’t you celebrate the Visitation at a different time than the Romnan Catholic Church does?”

Yes, on March 30th...just short of nine months before the Feast of the Nativity. It is a relatively recent feast, dating only back about 150-200 years IFRC. Do you know when the Latin Church started celebrating it?

Apart from the Visitation, the Franciscans were pro-Immaculate Conception and the Dominicans, including Aquinas, were anti- .

My observation is that the Franciscans and Dominicans were all me.

Well, FReep. That is to say, they were all MEN. Time to take my infestation of the typso-virus to the sofa to commune with catz.

I wasn’t aware of this difference surround the Immaculate Conception. Was that part of the split with the Roman Church and the Orthodox Church?

So far as I know, the what (the IC) was then at best a Western theologoumennon played no role in the Great Schism. It will certainly be problematical in any Great Council called to heal the Schism as we believe that it is profoundly heretical as denying the two natures of Christ.
