"Given the necessity of explaining Mary’s subordinate role to Christ in the work of Redemption, it is always inappropriate to use the title “Co-redemptrix” to define Mary’s cooperation." - Cardinal Fernandez as Prefect for the Dicastery of the Doctrine of the Faith (and approved

This is just wildly wrong. Just go to the Joseph Smith paper and search the term, “Abolition.”
A key reason Latter-day Saints were violently attacked and driven from Missouri in the 1830s was their rejection of slavery. They refused to accept it as compatible with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Later, Joseph Smith ran for president with a plan to end slavery in America.

Definitely not. John was entombed by his disciples: “his disciples heard of it, they came and took up his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.” Burial is the Christian tradition, not this macabre nonsense.

Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite was a Greek author of the late 5th century or early 6th century. He is not the guy from Mars’ Hill, mentioned in Acts, as has been known since the time of the legendary scholar Lorenzo Valla (d. 1457).
St. Dionysius the Areopagite, who was converted by St. Paul in the Book of Acts, in his work “On Ecclesiastical Hierarchy” already had the three roles of Deacon, Presbyter, and Bishop. He even connected these roles to the three steps in the spiritual life: purification,

God and Man in two distinct natures, but one person. That is how.
Genuine question to creedal Christians... God is immutable - He cannot change, correct? And God is impassible - He is without passions, correct? And Jesus is God, right? If this is the case, how can you say Jesus sacrificed for us? It seems to me that on your view, Jesus

Presbyter and Bishop are interchangeable. “Priest” is etymologically related to presbuteros but it is not equivalent in meaning. It’s a false friend.
Guess where the English word Priest comes from… that’s right, πρεσβύτερος (presbyter) often translated as elder in the NT. So, Bishops, Priests, and Deacons are all from the foundation of the Church. Does your church have them? Do they have a succession back to the Apostles?
