episcopalian: βyeahh versus populum isnt perfectβ
canadian anglo-catholic: βthis is why we should do it ad orientumβ
episcopalian: βehhh ad orientum has its issues too. some might take it to mean the priest is superiorβ
me: βi understand. this is why we need north-facing liturgyβ
(nobody can argue with me bc thats the english reformation tradition)

versus populum - facing the congregation
ad orientum - to the east (biblically supported)
north facing - innovation
ad romanum - American catholics face rome.
Ah yes, christian qibla discourse.

i like how muslims used to face jerusalem when the prophet mohammed was still around and he only changed it to mecca due to some schism with the local jews

@technicallydifficult @lizzie @zuki see if you hadnt transliterated it I could've popped it into google translate
@technicallydifficult @lizzie @zuki monarchianism is strict non-trinitarianism in favor of God being totally One, but unlike Arianism modalism holds that Christ is not inferior to the Father or adopted or begotten or whatever but that He is like a mode of Gods manifestation. thus the Father and God and the Holy Spirit are all totally God but are different manifestations of the transcendent unity, basically different names we can call God. at least thats how I understand it.
