The Blog: Get your incendiary and sometimes not so quite so incendiary (depends upon your relationship to that thing we like to refer to as sin) dose of Orthodoxy here.

Is Pavel Florenskij considered a saint? I have read som of his stuff, and find him fascinating. But others, that I deeply respect, consider him almost heretical.
I was about to write “yes” but when I looked for his date on the calendar I couldn’t find it; looked at some other sources which were also in the negative. I had always been under the impression that he had been canonized… He was, however, martyred on December 8, 1937.
My first impressions of him were from his book “Salt of the Earth” which has a very well-disposed introduction about him. It presents his earlier views about Sophiology as a “stage” in his thought which he later repudiated.
