PERSPECTIVE</h3>
All ORTHODOX are bound by one common faith, one common Episcopacy and one Eucharistic Lord. Various groups within Holy Orthodoxy may use different Divine Liturgies (the Mass). We use the Traditional Latin Orthodox Liturgy. We use an all Latin Liturgy. All have a common faith and understanding of the Seven Sacred Mysteries (Sacraments) and the Holy Sacrifice offered on the Altar. We are all in inter communion and union by our common faith, order and worship.
Any who have a different understanding from the Apostolic Church
regarding the Sacred Mysteries and the Sacrifice are not Orthodox or Catholic, no matter what they may call themselves. We do not subscribe to the heresy of Ecumenism, inter faith worship, Cultural Paradosis, Neo Papism, or Modernism.
<br><br><hr><h3>
OUR ROLE IN SOCIETY</h3>
The Primary role of the Priest and Bishop is to offer Sacrifice and administer the Seven Sacred Mysteries. The Second role of the Priest and Bishop is to preach and teach by word and example. In this way we lead all souls to Christ and restore all things to Christ and through Christ to the Father in Heaven. We believe it is the responsibility of the Bishop and Priest
to stand firmly against the errors of the day and to defend traditional Orthodox truth from those who would attack, deny or change the teachings as handed down from the Apostles. We believe the world must conform to the Church, NOT the Church conform to the world. St. Maximos the Confessor taught, "Orthodox Theology without Orthopraxis is the Theology of Demons." We believe it is necessary in attaining to Theosis that all live the faith as handed down from the Apostles through the Church and the lives of the Saints, not just talk about it. We are a community of believers who place nothing above our commitment to Holy Orthodoxy and to Jesus Christ who is the head of the Church. We believe that where the Faith, Order and Worship of the Church are not present, the Church is not present.
