The point was that he is able to preach his theology and is still in the confines of the Orthodox Church; in fact in 2017, Hart served on a special commission of Orthodox theologians for Patriarch Bartholomew to help compose "For the Life of the World: Toward a Social Ethos of the Orthodox Church" and to coauthor the preface. Along with that, in February 2022, the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America (in collaboration with the Orthodox Christian Studies Center of Fordham University) invited Hart to deliver a public homily. Not only that but your own OCA Archbishop Alexander Golitzin recorded a public interview on January 14, 2022, in which he named Hart's book That All Shall Be Saved and said that it "draws upon some very prominent and worthy and holy teachers" in the early church who held that the "love of God will ultimately overcome the capacity of the creature to say no to God."
In regards to Orthodox-Catholic relations, he is highly looked upon for his thesis Myth of Schism.
Vladyka Alexander has also pointed out errors he made on a recent symposium on universal salvation.
and within Orthodoxy, he isn’t taken seriously. put it as another seminary professor said, “Hart is nothing more than a universalist Marxist with a philosophy degree and a thesaurus.”
last I heard he doesn’t.
No, but to my knowledge, they have not restricted the chalice to Hart.
right, so just because he communes (if he does), that’s not some gotcha by pointing him out. our saints say Rome is heretical. that means more than academics.
No, but it gives wiggle room I think, at least within "world orthodoxy"
no it doesn’t. it’s already been addressed. we have services that call Rome heretics. Rome is called heretical when they are received into the Church. there is no wiggle room.
all Three Pillars of Orthodoxy who stood against Roman heresy were Greek. plus the new saints of Athos who are Greek.
You should, the Orthodox Church is the ark of salvation, but you need to repent of your errors.
no it doesn’t. it’s already been addressed. we have services that call Rome heretics. Rome is called heretical when they are received into the Church. there is no wiggle room.
