And it would seem very early to jump to the conclusion that this meeting might turn into an actual Ecumenical Council, bringing together bishops from both the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
But that is precisely what some are doing.
A report on the Commonweal magazine website, posted yesterday, May 30, is entitled "Nicea III in 2025," suggesting that the proposed gathering may be an Ecumenical Council, and not just a Roman Catholic Council, but a Council for the entire Christian world.
Here is that report:
Ping!
By 2025, will there be any organized Christianity left in this secularized and muslimized world?
That sounds about right! The Great Tribulation starts near the end of 2017 and Jesus returns in 2025.
“Aryan theology” should be “Arian theology.” Big difference!
The good news is that the Christian faith is GROWING bigtime in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. So I do not worry about that.
Ummmm................YES.
Did not Jesus WARNED believers not to speculate about dates and times, because only “ the Father in Heaven knows” ?
So you expect the Baptists to join in?
It is time for ALL Christians to come together. We unite by our common baptism.
Let me mark that on my google calendar.
So in other words Pope Francis is sticking to his usual modus operandi.
=================================
The Aryan race was a racial grouping commonly used in the period of the late 19th century to the mid 20th century to describe peoples of European and Western Asian heritage. It derives from the idea that the original speakers of the Indo-European languages and their descendants up to the present day constitute a distinctive race or subrace of the larger Caucasian race.
==================================
Arianism is the theological teaching attributed to Arius (c. AD 250336), a Christian presbyter in Alexandria, Egypt, concerning the relationship of God the Father to the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Arius asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father. Deemed a heretic by the Ecumenical First Council of Nicaea of 325, Arius was later exonerated in 335 at the regional First Synod of Tyre, and then, after his death, pronounced a heretic again at the Ecumenical First Council of Constantinople of 381.
The Roman Emperors Constantius II (337361) and Valens (364378) were Arians or Semi-Arians.
=================================
Lol. "Semi-Arians"?? Even back then there were the wordmeisters lawyers, parsing every syllable.
That admonition refers to the day and time of the Rapture of the Church. So I didn’t speculate on that, although it is recorded by John in the Book of the Revelation, that Jesus called John up to Heaven to see the things that must happen before Jesus opened the First Seal.
And did the Semi-Arians become seminarians?
But in seriousness, this would be a good time to include all who follow Jesus, i.e. the Protestants too.
Genoa, good catch on Aryans vice Arians
LOL. GOOD one.
Your answer: ONLY half of them did.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
=======================================

True!
Mea culpa. Mea culpa. Mea maxima culpa!
Note purple color to represent contrition! :o)

Thanks. But, I Cloud Mountain, made the catch.
Isn't "vice"supposed to be "versus"?
I’m feeling a bit criminal this morning, thus the ‘vice.’
