text: Tridentinus, shortly after responding to your invitation not encourage GayFordhamPrep, I stumbled on this reply to Sarasi1. Please place yourself in her shoes, and imagine receiving this reply...civil language to be sure, but huge insult of her intelligence and faith. 
  
  Why????
  
  If you think you have a better take on this issue re Orthodoxy, why not gently proffer your view, or ask her to elaborate?
  
  BTW, she is quite correct. The Orthodox are far more likely to speak of the priest acting in "persona ecclesiae" than the "personna Christi." 
  
  And yes, I believe she is a convert to Orthodoxy;  and not unlike many converts to Catholicism, she is very well read and conversant with modern Orthodox theology.
