Fr. Men: The Eucharist [Cath-Orth caucus]

He was an extraordinary man.

He authored several books. If you read Russian, you should be able to find them on his Russian website. I am out of time now, but will look later today.

These are bibliography pages, all in Russian.

Thank you for your time and effort in putting this info together for me. I will be looking into it for some time to come!

OK, I finally read this. And because I did, I have to leave comments.

The author says,

do we not read in the Letter of Paul that the Lord endured the Cross instead of having joy set before Him (Heb. 12:2).

But it's my understanding that St. Paul tells us that Jesus endured the cross precisely for the joy set before him, not instead of it.

Then the author says...

We have to decline the thought that is very popular in poetry and even among old theologians, the thought laconically and brilliantly expressed by the Blessed Augustine, about the “felica culpa” – the “happy fault”, that is the fault of man which gave us this Savior. The mind of the Church as a whole left the view point that the appearance of Christ was necessitated by the catastrophe and if the catastrophe had not been there, He would not have come to us. Rather, the situation is completely different.

He seems to be advising us to dispense with the teachings of St. Augustine which would be, I believe, tantamount to dismissing the teachings of the Church. He assures us that, while "the mind of the Church" sees it one way, it is time for us to see that "the situation is completely different."

Fault me, if you wish, for thinking that a thread by a "Father So and So" about the Eucharist would be in agreement with the teachings of the Church. But this might just be heresy, at least from a Roman Catholic standpoint.

Blessed Augistine is not the sum total of the teaching of the Church. He is considerably less popular in the East than he is in the West. At any rate, I am unaware of any definitive teaching on “felica culpa” even in the West.

Sorry for late response, I was in the middle of moving.
