While we all enjoy those heady discussions relating to the ever popular subjects of the Filioque, Papal Supremacy and the like, I stumbled on this while preparing for the Sunday of the Fathers at the First Six Ecumenical Councils (this Sunday, 15 July 2012, New Calendar), and thought it might be an enjoyable interlude between threads past and the inevitable ones yet to come.

Superchristological and Homoousiosis
Even though the sound of them is something quite atrocious
You can always count on them to anathemize your Gnosis

Now Origen and Arius were quite a clever pair.
Immutable divinity make Logos out of air.
But then one day Saint Nicholas gave Arius a slap–

One Prosopon, two Ousia are in one Hypostasis.
At Chalcedon this formula gave our faith its basis.

Now freedom and autonomy are something to be praised,
But when it comes to human sin, these words must be rephrased,
For Pelagius was too confident that we could work it out–

Oh really, I don’t remember that being in the Formula at all :confused:

Nice song nonetheless 😃
 
Nice! I’ve heard this before on Father Honeycutt’s podcast, “Orthodixie”.
