I happened upon these Lectures (see Title line) by chance. I found them greatly consoling and edifying. ¿My question is would this document be granted an “Imprimatur” and/or “Nihil Obstat” today?

St. Cyril is a Doctor of the Church. There shouldn’t be any need for an imprimatur or a nihil obstat as a higher title/sign of trustworthiness has already been granted. Just ENJOY! 👍

I think you missed the point…I think the OP was wondering if the thought would seem orthodox by today’s standards…I know his thoughts on receiving the Eucharist by hand would rattle a few today who think of themselves as “traditional” Catholics (whatever a traditional Catholic is spooked to mean).

OP, if you liked them, you will certainly enjoy reading the works of the other Early Church Fathers. 🙂

If the thoughts of St. Cyril of Jerusalem (again, a Doctor of the Church) would “rattle” a so-called “traditional” Catholic, then perhaps such a rattling is needed. His thoughts would also rattle a “liberal” Catholic, and rightly so. Not only is St. Cyril a part of tradition, but his writings were very formative of Tradition! Any “rattling” that they may cause would be the rattlings of a call to deeper conversion.
