Re. John Whiteford’s view of Origninal Sin and reference to the witness of the Saints to Orthodoxy.
In his book “The Orthodox Veneration of Mary, the Birthgiver of God”, St. John Maximovitch (translated by Seraphim Rose) refutes at length the Catholic Dogma of the Immaculate Conception “as likewise the teaching that She ( the Theotokos) “was preserved by God’s grace from personal sins.” (p. 59)
