Illumined Catechumen

Erica has some wonderful insights in the relationship between the Church and the World, all gleaned from her experience at the blessing of the waters. I'm probably mentioning this needlessly because any of my readers of sound mind have surely bookmarked her blog already.

She has also pointed the way to another Ortho-blogger, Chrysostomos, who I have linked on the right.

Oh BTW i took that as tongue-in-cheek, but if you're serious i shall reply with the obvious litany.

It was both tongue-in-cheek and serious. Not that I am questioning Ortho theology or practice, but rather suggesting that there are catechumens who clearly have seen the true light, even received the heavenly Spirit, though they haven't yet received it in Sacraments.

Being young and easily influenced, i would tend to agree...i feel a post on this forming.
