PatriPassion

Apparently, an obscure Christian heresy, which says that:
"Since the Father and the Son are both God, they are both one, so the Father also sufferred upon the cross"

Doubtless deeply shocking at the time, I do find myself having to ask "And why did anyone care?" --Vitenka

Sigh. Certainly at the moment I care *more* about the fact that the word was Patripassionism. MaintainMe. --AC

: Ooops! :) That is indeed a longer and better WordOfTheDay. The web seems happy with PatriPassionism? being the heresy of belief in PatriPassion, though. --Vitenka

(PeterTaylor) Without any knowledge on the specific subject, I'd guess the date of this heresy to be AD 300-400. The issue of the relationships within the Trinity was very important then - witness the row over filioque.

Umm, the filioque row was very little about the filioque, and lots about church governence. Granted there is a theological position there; but it's not as big as it looks. -- Senji

: (PeterTaylor) I deliberately veered shy of blaming the GreatSchism? on filioque. But to further make my point, I'll throw in Sabellianism, Docetism, Monophysitism, Adoptionism, Nestorianism, Apollinarianism, Arianism, Socianism.
: Ah! Nestorian! "Get home, otherwise Scotsman finds heretic (9)"! You've just finished yesterday's DailyTelegraph cryptic crossword for me!
