Peter addresses how some have characterized St. Cyprian's view as everything outside the Church being "undifferentiated darkness." Fr. Peter misremembers the term and says "unmitigated darkness" but the term is "undifferentiated darkness." This term, and it's erroneous application to St. Cyprian's thought, is first used, to our knowledge, by Fr. Thomas Hopko and Fr. John Erickson. --- Join over 1,400 other serious Orthodox Christians, Catechumens, and inquirers into Orthodoxy (1,050 on Patreon, 350 on orthodoxethos.com).
