Today, under the pretext of knowledge(gnosis - he is talking about Gnosticism) , heretics rise against the Church of Christ. They pile on their books of commentaries. They claim to interpret the gospel and apostolic texts. If we are silent and do not oppose them with true teaching, famished souls will be fed with their abominations. - Origen

Feminist Double Standard
On one hand, we don't ordain women; on the other hand, we "worship" Mary.
Lvka, I know you like to joke around, but it might be best to use the word venerate. We wouldn't want Rho and them to use this as a means to stick a fork in us.
It's not a "joke": we're being accused of two diametrically-opposed things by our detractors: on one hand, that we oppress modern women-rights by our retrograde and obsolete patriarchal religion; on the other hand, that the Christian cult of the Holy Virgin is based on the pagan pre-Christian cult of the Mother Goddess: -- One can't have his cake and eat it too.
