Holy Week and Easter Notice

Classes will resume the Sunday after Easter.

In the meantime, here's an astoundingly clear proclamation of Christ's divinity from St. Ignatius of Antioch's letter to St. Polycarp, both Apostolic Fathers, both students of the Apostle John:

Look for Him who is beyond all time, the Eternal, the Invisible who became visible for our sake, the Impalpable, the Impassible who suffered for our sake, who endured every outrage for our sake. [from Willis, The Teachings of the Church Fathers]

The passage astounds in part because it teaches with precision the same truth that Nestorianism obstinately denied over two hundred years later. In other words, the Church in an important way did not need a heresy to develop the doctrine that the person of Christ is divine and yet suffered through His adopted human nature.
