Thanks for the critique. But I don’t see the Bible encouraging or allowing an “ecclesiastical hierarchy.” There is no ordination. There is no ranks of clerics. You make all that up out of your own vanity.

I quoted the scholarly paper that reads Dionysius as a pagan and not a Christian, and that seems to me clearly true. See: Tuomo Lankila, "The Corpus Areopagiticum As a Crypto-Pagan Project" (2011)
