Something's wrong here. edit

The article contains this quote: "In 394, Epiphanius wrote to John of Jerusalem, again asking for Origen to be condemned, insisting that Origen's writings denigrated human sexual reproduction and accusing him of having been an Encratite." While I don't know whether Origen "denigrated human sexual reproduction," Epiphanius certainly did. I can't make out how Epiphanius could accuse Origen of denigrating human sexual reproduction when Epiphanius condemned any and all marriage of any Church office holder (who didn't put his wife aside "in his service to God"). He also insisted the idea of Mary being Joseph's wife (sexually) an unimaginable horror! He considered the alternative view to make Mary entirely other than "pure." 50.45.241.212 (talk) 05:33, 20 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
