Talk:Glorification

message: I understand that catholics also have a theory of glorification.  If anyone knows anything about that i would greatly appreciate there posting it.
I'm no theologian, but it could have something to do with the Catholic views on the relationship between body and soul.  The eventual glorified body recieved would be a true (or true-er) reflection of the beauty of the soul rather than the unglorified, which has the imperfections of this world.
:This needs to begin by establishing context for these inventions: "In dirt-road Fundamentalism..." or "Among Revivalist Christians.." or whatever applies. Remember, there are plenty of us who don't know whose personal opinions are being expressed in this heartfelt essay. --Wetman 20:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Roman Catholics

message: Don't know anything about the Catholic understanding of glorification, but I added a space for it-- to show that the article is incomplete.  Also added Orthodox Christian use of "glorification," and subsumed the rest of the article under a Protestant heading.  It'll take a Protestant theologian or five to parse the details of which denominations/ schools practice which theory of glorification.  Buddhagazelle 18:15, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. The following terms are used for canonization by the autocephalous national Orthodox Churches: канонизация (Russian Orthodox Church), კანონიზაცია kanonizats’ia (Georgian Orthodox Church), канонизација (Serbian Orthodox Church), canonizare (Romanian Orthodox Church), and Канонизация (Bulgarian Orthodox Church). The following terms are used for canonization by other autocephalous Orthodox Churches: αγιοκατάταξη (Katharevousa: ἁγιοκατάταξις) agiokatataxi/agiokatataxis (Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, Church of Cyprus, Church of Greece), kanonizim (Albanian Orthodox Church), kanonizacja (Polish Orthodox Church), and kanonizace/kanonizácia (Czech and Slovak Orthodox Church). "Glorification" is a term used only by the Orthodox Church in America ("What does "Glorification" Mean?" - ROCA.org) Use of glorification in Russian Orthodox media has been attested: прославление: "Прославление святых – это не дело узкого круга специалистов, это дело всей Церкви" by Julija Birjukova at Pravmir.ru (9 Dec. 2013). --Omnipaedista (talk) 07:14, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Catholic and Orthodox 

message: by no means should this article be merged with 'glory' while the idea of glorification is based in the idea of glory they are too distinct to be grouped together under either name.  in the same was that you can't put sanctification under saint you can't classify glorification under glory.

thread_title: Merger with Glory

message: The Canonization article gives a much more in depth look at Glorification in the Orthodox Church than this Glorification article.  Should I just copy and paste that information over to here?  Or would anyone be in favor of a merger?  They are both very similar concepts (neither of the 2 churches create saints, but rather, they recognize a saint through their respective canonization/glorification processes as a person that is in heaven).  However, I don't know how to title the merged article.  Maybe: Saint Recognition Processes. Or: Canonization and Glorification.  Then have Canonization and Glorification redirect here?

replies: text: I would say that the part of the article under the Protestant subheading really needs to be included in an expansion of the article Glorification (theology) rather than here.  The glorification outlined there is in fact a theological concept rather than something equivalent to Catholic canonization or Orthodox glorification.  75.200.134.124 (talk) 03:24, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Canonization and Glorification

message: It has been suggested by editor Knobbly that this article is heavily weighted toward the Eastern Orthodox meaning and usage of the term "glorification", and I agree with Knobbly.  Since the above merger discussion will close soon, this discussion is moved to its own section.  Please feel free to share your opinion about this NPOV issue. – Paine (Climax!)  17:01, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
