Bottom Of The Rabbit Hole | Reader Paul - St. Basil the Great - Oral Tradition Is Authoritative & NECESSARY @bottomoftherabbithole | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
I present an excerpt from St. Basil's book, "On The Spirit" which discusses the indispensable nature of authoritative oral teaching in the Church's Holy Tradition.
*CORRECTION* At some point during this video, I mention that catechumens in the ancient church were escorted out of the *nave* of the Church prior to the liturgy of the faithful. In reality, that was a mistake. The truth is, they weren't even ALLOWED into the nave of the Church for the liturgy at all! They were actually only allowed in the narthex--essentially a vestibule--and were escorted from there; a reality which literally just makes the point more powerfully haha. (Thanks Fr. Alexei!)
