Dear Joe,
O.K., I'll take your advice!
I think that the heresy of apokatastatis, like those of Monophysism and Nestorianism, aren't ONLY tied to their originators ("Origen-ator?"
).
They represent, to me at least, a temptation for Christians of any age in Church history.
And, it could very well be that the authors of all three heresies named above might never have held the heresies for which they were condemned, anyway.
Origen, as you know, was venerated locally as a saint in Alexandria. I imagine there would be less of a problem rehabilitating him than there would be in Judas' case . . .
Cheers, Big Guy!
(Without my EVER having mentioned my favourite pet peeve (ie. 'Big Guy'), my students at school are now greeting me in the halls with, "Good morning, Big Guy!" That really blows me away!).
Alex
