Fr. Peter Heers and guest Craig Patrick Truglia discuss the Orthodox rejection of the papal dogma of the "immaculate conception", emphasizing the patristic wisdom found in the ascetical life of the Holy Orthodox Church and the grave soteriological consequences of separating the Most Holy Theotokos from the human race.

How do we acquire the mind of Christ and follow the Holy Fathers when confronted with the ecclesiological challenges facing the Orthodox Church in our modern day? Join Fr. Peter Heers in this podcast, first recorded in September 2022, for an examination of On the Dogma of the Church: An Historical Overview of the Sources of Ecclesiology by the Holy Hieromartyr Hilarion (Troitsky). This text explores patristic resources from the early centuries of Christianity and brings seminal works at the periphery of the consciousness of every Christian to the forefront as living witnesses to the unbroken tradition of the Church. St. Hilarion's staggeringly extensive familiarity with sources both patristic and modern, coupled with his own lucid thinking and profoundly Orthodox outlook, superbly equip him for his comprehensive analysis of the subject.
