Bishop Michael CallahanApostolic Western Orthodox Church

Rome's Dogma of the Immaculate Conception: An Orthodox Perspective -- @everyone

Introduction

A dogma is a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. In the context of Christianity, dogmas are core teachings that are considered essential beliefs for the faith community, often proclaimed by an ecclesiastical authority and requiring acceptance by all members of the Church. The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception declared as dogma by Pope Pius IX in 1854, asserts that Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was conceived without original sin. This belief holds that from the moment of her conception, Mary was preserved by God from the stain of original sin due to her unique role as the Mother of Christ. While this doctrine is a central tenet of Roman Catholic Mariology, it is rejected by the Orthodox Church for several theological and historical reasons.

Preservation of Apostolic Tradition

The Apostolic Western Orthodox Church (AWOC) holds a firm belief in preserving the apostolic faith unchanged and without addition. We assert that the faith and practices of the early Church continue to be observed without the need for new dogmatic definitions. Our emphasis is on a living tradition where the faith is continuously lived and experienced in the same way as the early Christians, without the necessity of later doctrinal developments.

View on Roman Dogmatic Developments

The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is viewed by the AWOC as an innovation that diverges from the original apostolic faith. We reject such later dogmatic proclamations, considering them as theological opinions rather than universal truths necessary for salvation. The AWOC does not recognize the binding nature of post-Great Schism Roman dogmas, seeing them as unnecessary and, at times, distortions of the true faith.

Salvific Inclusivity

For the AWOC, adherence to the original teachings of the apostles as preserved by the early Church councils and the Church Fathers is considered sufficient for salvation. We believe that believers of the first 18 plus centuries who adhered to these teachings were living in the fullness of the faith. Emphasizing the mercy and love of God, we hold that His grace can reach all who earnestly seek Him, regardless of later doctrinal developments.

Historical Context

The AWOC emphasizes an unbroken continuity with the early Church, maintaining the same faith, liturgy, and sacramental life. This continuity assures that past generations were living the authentic Christian faith. We uphold the decisions of the Seven Ecumenical Councils and the teachings of the Church Fathers as the final authority on matters of faith, seeing no need for later doctrinal innovations.

Pastoral Considerations

Our pastoral practice is rooted in the consistent application of the ancient faith. Past generations are seen as having lived in the same faith tradition that is practiced today. The spiritual and devotional life of the AWOC remains holistic and unchanged, offering a direct link to the practices of the early Christians.

Authority and Interpretation

The AWOC rejects the Roman Catholic doctrine of papal infallibility and emphasizes conciliarity, where decisions on faith and morals are made collectively by the bishops in council. We hold that Holy Scripture and Holy Tradition together form the deposit of faith, with neither being subject to later innovations or reinterpretations.

Impact on Historical Believers

We believe that the faith of the early Church was complete and sufficient for salvation. Therefore, historical believers are regarded as having lived and died in the fullness of the faith. The liturgical and devotional practices of past generations are respected and continued in the AWOC, viewed as timeless expressions of the apostolic faith.

Conclusion

From the perspective of the Apostolic Western Orthodox Church (AWOC), the Roman Catholic Church’s relatively new dogmatic proclamations, such as the Immaculate Conception, are seen as unnecessary innovations that deviate from the apostolic faith. We maintain that the original teachings and practices of the early Church are sufficient for salvation and have been faithfully preserved without alteration. This continuity assures that believers of the first 18 plus centuries were living in the fullness of the true Christian faith, without the need for later doctrinal definitions.

Archbishop Visit to Hillsboro, Aloha Vicariate

MATTHEWJAMESk — Sun, 24 Sep 2023 19:52:00 GMT

Thank you, Your Grace Archbishop Alexander King Sample, for your delightful visit to this corner of the Portland Archdiocese in Hillsboro (St. Matthew Parish) and Aloha Oregon (St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish)!

Farewell to Fr. Jeff “See you later” by God’s Grace

MATTHEWJAMESk — Fri, 30 Jun 2023 21:51:00 GMT

The following public announcement by issued by his grace Bishop Alexander Sample for St. Elizabeth Ann Seton’s changing of the guard dated June 2nd, 2023.

1. Rev. Paschal Ezurike – Holy Redeemer, North Bend / Administrator: Holy Name, Coquille (p)/St. Anne-St. Michael, Myrtle Point (m)
2. Rev. Theodore Prentice – St. Cyril, Wilsonville
3. Rev. Jeff Meeuwsen – St. Joseph, Salem
4. Rev. Gabriele Maria White, OJSS – St. Joseph the Worker, Portland
5. Rev. Edgar Rivera – St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Aloha
6. Rev. Silverino Kwebuza, AJ – Shepherd of the Valley, Central Point
7. Rev. Paul Ybarra, CSC – Holy Redeemer, Portland

This is very intriguing as St. Joseph, Salem is the LARGEST parish in Oregon, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Aloha is just about the smallest parish in the Portland area.

Even more intriguing is Father Edgar Rivera’s previous assignment was from St. Joseph in Salem! So effectively, Fr. Jeff and Fr. Edgar are exchanging pastor assignments!

So we say with heart felt love and joy farewell to Fr. Jeff and Godspeed in new assignment at this summer’s parish picnic out 2023, and welcome to Fr. Edgar we have not met.

Fr. Jeff says, “I feel like I’m accepting a trophy”, and I respond “We can only hope by God’s Grace”. As he has always acted in the place of Christ ‘In Persona’, then it would be me as a desperately reforming poor sinner who would be that trophy to be received to Jesus through Mary with Joseph – from a certain point of view.

Our last group shot together as a new life season begins.

Good Friday: Need Prayers for Souls Trapped in Purgatory!

MATTHEWJAMESk — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 19:58:00 GMT

Dear friends and Faithful Catholic Brothers and Sisters:

My deceased sister Sara Katherine Klump came to me in a lucid dream last night as a disembodied smoky figure in great pain - THAT she is in fact trapped in purgatory because she made decisions in life that were against the will of God in the condition that she died in 2018.

My deceased father John Dean Klump Jr is very likely also with her in purgatory and many others like them both who made decisions in life that went against the will of God especially honoring His Holy name.

I'm going to join the others on the sidewalk today Good Friday, and then I'm going to continue that prayer for 9 more days At Church in His Presence With His Image of Divine Mercy for their souls of these specific two people to to be released from purgatory, and who came to specifically to me, MatthewJames klump.

Pictures of these two individuals can be found for Sarah Katherine Klump at https://copperminegallery.klump-pdx.com/displayimage.php?album=2&pid=408#im=0

For John Dean Klump Jr can be found at https://copperminegallery.klump-pdx.com/displayimage.php?album=2&pid=369#im=0

Dear friends and Faithful Catholics - Will you please accept this prayer request for specifically these 2 souls who are in purgatory with anyone who will accept and pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet with a Blessed Image of Divine Mercy of Lord Jesus Christ for 9 days for these two souls and for other known souls in purgatory?!

Thank you dear friends and brother and sister Catholics for the others and the mercy of God!

MATTHEWJAMESk — Mon, 27 Mar 2023 03:50:00 GMT

Dear friend, brother Shawn at 40 Days for Life and all faithful brothers and sisters -

I remember now like it was yesterday when I said the words in prayer as I struggled to return to the sidewalk - "I TRIED WITH THE PITIABLE MIGHT I HAVE TO GIVE MORE CHARITY (CARITAS), BUT MY PRIDE KEPT GETTING IN THE WAY!" ✝️

I will be paying for that with a greater or lesser degree each day for the Rest Of My Life..! ✝️

With your help, brother Shawn and our Portland, OR and Beaverton, OR area leaders like yourself, this problem can one day be totally eliminated to go and do without Pride...

I am sorry we could not have some prayer time over these matters that you write to us and lead us about the Unborn, for our elderly who have died and who are about to die, and our brothers and sisters on Death Row or other capital punishment...

I am sorry that they suffered ✝️, and I am sorry that they died .

May God have Mercy on Us All ✝️, and on the whole World !

Dear friend, will you kindly please pray this recorded Holy Hour taken on March 25 Annunciation Day 2023 at St. Matthew's Hillsboro, OR Parish KofC 1634 memorial stone for the Unborn?

The audio quality is low, please turn up your volume, and pray with us the Holy Rosary sorrowful mysteries with the chanted Divine Mercy Chaplet, and a song of rememberance and penitence "Will the Circle be Unbroken?" at this URL Iink https://fccdl.in/7H7MNCOAD3?st=0 .

Will you listen to this Holy Hour in the silence with your family and those who are with you at home or at adoration before Our Blessed Lord https://fccdl.in/7H7MNCOAD3?st=0 ?

Will you please, kindly add our prayers to yours to multiply the affects of these prayers where two or more are gathered in His Name for what we are praying over https://fccdl.in/7H7MNCOAD3?st=0 ?

In Jesus's Holy Name through Blessed Mother Mary in Union with Saint Joseph, thank you dear Friend!

For GranMama LolaBelle Kinzie Kutlas & Judy Neumann

MATTHEWJAMESk — Thu, 19 Jan 2023 05:10:00 GMT

We very much need prayers for an Aunt Judy Neumann Feyerherm who died recently, may she rest in peace.

My GranMama LolaBelle Kinzie Kutlas is dying - This is her second critical/major stroke that she suffered this week!

We ask for the Special Intercessory Prayers of our Mother Mary Ever Virgin and Mother of God, and Saint Joseph Patron of a Happy Death to please aid her in her time of need!

Please send more Holy Angels! We humbly ask also that a Mass of these special intentions be lifted UP and said for Judy and LolaBelle.

Greetings, beloved family to all Priests, Deacons, and laity -
We were told last Sunday about 3:30pm during our prayers of Mercy for GranMama LolaBelle Kinzie Kutlas by Nurse Emma is in far reaching and comfort care that our humankind can give to another at that time at Sunnyside Kaiser in Clackamas OR.
However, she suffered at least 2 major stokes this last week, and she needs our Spiritual Assistance now as she is very much Catholic from baptism!

She was married faithfully to Roy Martin Kinzie for 76 years of blissful joy as they both walked through the battle of Life of both joys and sadnesses with their two daughters mom Kathy, and Aunt Beckie.
Does anyone know of a Priest who will to attend GranMama LolaBelle for immediate Prayers for Intercession, a Mass said, or Sacrament of the Sick attended?
Lastly, is she to be honored with the Last Rights/Extreme Unction/Anointing of the Sick Sacrament, OR the Catholic Funeral Mass of Christian Burial ✝️?
If she is to have a Catholic Funeral Mass, then do you have need or want to, through me in my association with the Knights of Columbus of Oregon, honor Her Memory further with an Honor Guard through the Knights of Columbus 4th Degree at her Funeral Mass or Internment at the burial site?
Sincerely in Faith and Peace of Lord Jesus Christ through Blessed Mama Mary in Union with Spiritual Father Saint Joseph.

AMEN !!!

Feast of Corpus Christi, Portland Oregon June 19, 2022

MATTHEWJAMESk — Sat, 18 Jun 2022 04:11:00 GMT

Thank you God, Jesus Lord and Savior through Blessed Mother Mary in Union with Saint Joseph on the Most Solemn feast day of Corpus Christi - To be able to Praise God in the Holy Eucharist in two Corpus Christi processions we were able to repent, ask God for Forgiveness or Our Sins and the Sins of Others.

Please Oh God, complete my cleansing through Holy Confession again and wash away my guilt. Amen.

The first Procession was at 8:45am, Saturday, June 18 at St. Cecilia Parish Beaverton, Oregon with Father Carey, Father Peter, et al. The second was at The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Portland, Oregon at Noon, Sunday, June 19 with Archbishop Alexander K. Sample and Msgr. Gerard O’Connor.

The Catholic Sentinel was extra careful to explain that – “Plans called for the cathedral procession to end at the North Park Blocks. But that district was a staging area for Portland’s June 19 Pride Parade, which drew thousands marching for LGBTQ rights,” and also explained Eucharistic Adoration at Couch park here. We are very much under attack each day in the Body of Christ!

We have 1 inspiring picture from the Saint Cecilia Prolife and Respect Life committee:

Here is the Corpus Christi 2022 footage from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception as I was walking with my brother Sir Knights from across Oregon to watch over the Most Precious Body of Christ as Our Mother Mary’s Knights in service atoning, praying to God through Mother Mary “Viva Christo Rey!”, and asking God his Forgiveness and Mercy through Lord Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar!

I thank God for my 4th Degree brothers!

MATTHEWJAMESk — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 12:28:00 GMT

Never forget what was when we were brothers.

Never forget what we still are as brothers together in mission.

Times of this culture of death has forced the Knights of Columbus 4th Degree to change things drastically.

Never fear, but trust in God always for us brothers as we live through to see such times in Solidarity and Unity with Our Archbishop Bishop Alexander King Sample.

We will always be as one Patriotic Witness to this Culture. Stand with me my brothers and keep watch to witness to Him through Blessed Mama Mary in Union with Spiritual Father Saint Joseph, Terror of Demons, and Advocate to Lord Jesus Christ himself on our behalf!

Amen. –MATTHEWJAMES klump-pdx.com
