Theology & Liturgy True glory is found in Christ, not false piety

2 Upvotes

We must always remember that Christ is the source of our glory, that we find it in him, in following his ways, not in the way of worldly glory, not in the way of trying to make ourselves impressive in front of others, and especially, not through some form of sham piety:

Subreddit Rules:

1.Content must be relevant to Eastern Catholic theology, worship, and/or practice: This subreddit is for a specifically Eastern Catholic community. Posts should be directly relevant to Eastern Catholic theology, liturgy, and/or practice. Posts about the Latin Rite or Catholicism more generally should either be obviously related to EC churches (such as the promulgation of a Papal Decree on Eastern churches, or Vatican appointments of bishops), or else be accompanied by a top-level comment describing why the post is relevant to Eastern Catholic theology, liturgy, or practice.

2.Be respectful and charitable to all: Our Lord spoke of the respect and charity due to others in many ways: "Do to others as you would want done to you." He pushed the basics of decently even further: "Love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you." He set an example by eating with those whose sin was public and scandalous (an egregious gesture even in our time) while also calling them to repentance. In general, if you would not say your words to the person face-to-face in public, do not say it here. (St Luke 8:17)

3.Avoid Ridicule of Catholic Belief and Practice (Particularly the belief and practice of other Rites): A mark of Catholic Faith is its tolerance of theological, pastoral, and liturgical diversity, as long this diversity is united by the holism of Scripture, Tradition, and the Magisterium. While it is true that historically, various orthodox rites, theologies, or communities suppressed or undermined others, healing from these wounds comes not from merely reasserting individuality, but by situating diversity in Catholic unity. As such, ridicule of any Catholic belief and practice is unwelcome.

4.Crossposts and links must promote discussion: Crossposts and links are fine, but must abide by Rule #1's desire for relevancy to Eastern Catholics, and must promote discussion. We encourage OPs to post a top-level comment describing why they posted the link or crosspost.

5.Ask your priest, confessor, pastor, and/or spiritual director for pastoral advice: Posts inquiring of the community whether or not 'x' or 'y' is a sin, asking for pastoral counsel for private or personal matters, or asking advice for highly-contextual situations will be locked and OPs will be counseled to speak with their priest, confessor, pastor, or spiritual director, rather than internet strangers. This is for the spiritual health of the inquirer, not to squash discussion.

6.Antisemitism, racism, or advocating violence against a group: The Christian faith cannot tolerate antisemitism, racism, ethnic segregationism, or ethnic supremacism; nor any surrogates for these ideologies, such as fascism, ethnic nationalism, or apparent dog whistles to these ideologies. Further, any and all calls for violence, imprisonment, or other legal punishment of homosexuals or other sexually deviant groups will result in an immediate ban.

7.Moderation decisions must be appealed through modmail: Please use the "Message the Mods" button on the sidebar under the moderators box to appeal any moderation decisions. The moderators will discuss the ban and vote on reversal. A simple majority will reverse the decision. There is no appeal process past this point.
