What is the difference between icons and idols in churches that permit icons? Consistent use of 'catholic' |

About statues and pictures Also consider clarifying some things. You used catholic with a little 'c,' does this mean you are prepared to accept answers from non-Roman Catholic perspectives? For instance, I'm Orthodox and we use icons in our worship, but if you are only looking for Roman Catholic perspectives then I will not be able to answer from our unique viewpoint. |

In Eastern Orthodoxy, what is most important for the efficacy of the sacraments: the right Church or the right God? Sounds good. I'm also busy - you may edit before I do :P - Plus I still need to answer some other questions of yours on this site that I have been meaning to get back to.... |

In Eastern Orthodoxy, what is most important for the efficacy of the sacraments: the right Church or the right God? I voted this up and gave you the bounty for putting forth the effort. Your answer is essentially correct, although I would love to see more elaboration before marking it as accepted (especially on the notion of 'canonical' administration of the Holy Mysteries). I've been discussing this with a bunch of Orthodox folks, so I think I have a better handle on this now. With your permission, I may even edit your response slightly to add some of the other information (but not if you don't want me to, I can just create my own answer if so). |

Were the councils of the 4th and 5th centuries primarily to deal with Apocryphal writings? @Caleb let me know if the edit clarified this |

Were the councils of the 4th and 5th centuries primarily to deal with Apocryphal writings? @Caleb I meant in the sense of declaring an official canon. I put canon in parentheses when I used it in that sense. I will try to clarify. I come from a tradition that has never drawn up an official canon nor closed it |

Were the councils of the 4th and 5th centuries primarily to deal with Apocryphal writings? @fredsbend I'd encourage you to ask another question for the books you're looking for, please link to it here also. I'd even be willing to edit it and help word if you are uncertain about how to ask to get the results you're seeking. |

Were the councils of the 4th and 5th centuries primarily to deal with Apocryphal writings? @fredsbend a lot of modern pseudo-scholarship is done on Gnostic gospels, it's pretty pitiful |

Were the councils of the 4th and 5th centuries primarily to deal with Apocryphal writings? @fredsbend they were written during this time period - it's just that they don't become the topic of controversy until recently because most everyone back then knew the books were Gnostic and weren't written by the authors they claimed to be written by ;) |

Were the councils of the 4th and 5th centuries primarily to deal with Apocryphal writings? @fredsbend my encouragement to you would be to specify what you are looking for in your future questions, naming specific books if that's what you are interested in. |
