88 6,15| both from the pre-schism Western Christianity and Eastern
89 6,15| have felt at home in the Western Church of the eleventh century,
90 6,16| in the West, the faith of Western Christians slowly began
91 6,16| The laity, at last free of Western Christian traditions, were
92 6,17| saying that unlike the Western thinker, Orthodox do not
93 6,17| basic assumptions.~ In the Western system that begins at zero,

98 7,11| distinguished theologians of Western Christianity admit to the

103 7,11| The breaking away of the Western Church from the Apostolic
104 7,11| Church was the result of the Western Church's innovations. The
105 7,11| Protestants, which split the Western Church into warring parties,
106 7,11| because of the downfall of the Western Church, a downfall that
107 7,11| amidst the decaying ruins of Western Christianity, a movement
108 7,14| zealous Church Father of Western Orthodox Christianity gave

110 7,14| unharmed. At the same time, the Western Church began to call itself
111 7,14| element began to enter into Western thought: a growing emphasis
112 7,14| centuries. As a result, the Western Church continuously moved
113 7,14| entails nothing less than Western man's dethroning God and
114 7,14| received lasting credence among Western artists. What demonic pride!
115 7,14| Alexey observes, Europe, Western man, our world has never
116 7,14| the future development of Western theology and were the stimulus
117 7,14| of the Christian faith. Western theology therefore began
118 7,14| influence of Aquinas' teaching, Western philosophers increasingly
119 7,14| was to prove deadly for Western theology, and hence for
120 7,14| theology, and hence for modern Western man. As Archpriest Alexey

123 7,14| Thus, ever since Aquinas, Western man has been faced with

125 7,14| long since disappeared from Western Europe. Its disappearance
126 7,14| Jordanville also examines the Western approach, and he goes on
127 7,14| the West. He notes that in Western Christianity, people think
128 7,14| so many centuries now in Western Christianity that no Western
129 7,14| Western Christianity that no Western Christian sees anything
130 7,14| opposite conclusions. In Western Christianity, people come
131 7,14| Because of that priority that Western Christians place on human
132 7,14| distorted in countless ways. In Western Christianity, man — not
133 7,14| further explains that the Western approach is a deviation
134 7,14| differs from that of the Western writers in that the Holy
135 7,14| one's sins, whereas the Western writer leads one to spiritual
136 7,14| Chelije writes that “in Western Europe, Christianity has
137 7,14| seductive, damaging mutation of Western Christianity into pagan
138 7,14| made massive inroads into Western culture. This new religious
139 7,14| differing confessions within Western Christianity number 23,000,
140 7,14| has become the standard Western approach.~ Seeing that so
141 7,14| Jackson notes, in pluralistic Western culture, no opinion is permitted
142 7,14| God is present in all the Western denominations, that the

144 7,21| Moreover, although the Western Churches are trying to keep
145 8,6 | a disastrous effect upon Western theology.~ ~
146 8,14| Orthodox objections to the Western practice regarding the filioque.~

149 8,14| distinct Persons). Since Western theology views the Son as

151 8,14| principle within the Trinity. In Western theology, the filioque extended
152 8,14| by a common nature. This Western view conceives God not so
153 8,14| arguments. The medieval Western theologians, in their various
154 8,14| existence, bequeathed to the Western world its essential concern
155 8,14| very significant part of Western philosophical thought, either
156 8,14| questioning His existence is the Western way, but not the Orthodox
157 8,14| abstract essence.~ In addition, Western theology has in actual fact (
158 8,14| most cursory glance through Western theological texts is sufficient
159 9,12| between the Orthodox and the Western understanding of grace and
160 9,12| deal at great length on the Western controversies concerning
161 9,15| the ancestral sin (or what Western Christians call the original
162 9,15| theologian in the early Western Church had, whereas in the
163 9,15| took place as a result of Western influence, such as the Scholastic
164 9,15| choose to imitate Adam.~ Most Western Christians hold that nothing
165 9,24| as the Victor.~ Moreover, Western Christians have been inclined
166 9,29| that is the point where Western theology is. The metropolitan
167 10,25| only rejected the incorrect Western view of Mary, but it went
