Can someone help with a question?
I do not remember who the saint was (I wish I could) in reading the lives of the saints, there was one saint who would not budge on his beliefs. Every other priest, bishop, Metropolitan and even the people believed in a heresy. I think it was on either icon veneration or possibly on the divinity of Christ.
Anyway, after a time, he was able to prove the heresy to all and turned the entire "world" back to the true belief. Him alone.
The RC believe the 4 EO heads broke away from them back in 1054. The EO say the RC broke away. I personally believe the latter.
I guess I am asking if the monks in question truly believe they are right, is there not the possibility the rest of the "world" is wrong? I understand they are breaking their obedience to the Patriarchate, but just like the monk above, if it is not correct, someone has to stand up for it.
I don't want this happening on the Holy Mountain anymore than anyone else does. I think it scandalises the Holy Virgin. I am trying to just wrap my mind around who is right and who "might" be wrong and of course how to rectify it.
Thanks for any insight and especially the name of the above mentioned Saint.
Paul
