Packet 10: Bonus 4
Gennadios Scholarios wrote, “Lord deliver us from” this thinker’s “dialectic,” suggesting that his theology was too reliant on pagan philosophy. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name this thinker whom Orthodox theologians like John Romanides brand a heresiarch because his authority justified errors like the filioque and the doctrine of original sin, which he taught to combat Pelagian heretics.
ANSWER: Saint Augustine of Hippo [or Aurelius Augustinus Hipponensis; accept Saint Austin]
[10e] Romanides rejected the Western view of an inherited “stain” of sin as heresy, implying that this doctrine is superfluous. This Catholic doctrine holds that Mary was conceived without original sin.
ANSWER: Immaculate Conception
[10h] Romanides identified the “unbelievable nonsense” of this Calabrian monk as Augustinian. After condemning the hesychast monks of Athos as polytheists in 1337, this thinker was defeated by Gregory Palamas in several synods.
ANSWER: Barlaam [accept Barlaam of Calabria or Barlaam of Seminara]
