Origen has become very popular again. Even though he is historically significant. He is NOT an orthodox Father.
Pope Vigilius (died 7 June 555) condemned his errors
From the Denzinger:
Canons against Origen *
[From the Book against Origen of the Emperor Justinian, 543]
203 Can. 1. If anyone says or holds that the souls of men pre-existed,
as if they were formerly minds and holy powers, but having received a
surfeit of beholding the Divinity, and having turned towards the worse,
and on this account having shuddered (apopsycheisas) at the love of
God, in consequence being called souls (psychae) and being sent down
into bodies for the sake of punishment, let him be anathema.
204 Can. 2. If anyone says and holds that the soul of the Lord
pre-existed, and was united to God the Word before His incarnation and
birth from the Virgin, let him be anathema.
205 Can. 3. If anyone says or holds that the body of our Lord
Jesus Christ was first formed in the womb of the holy Virgin, and that
after this God, the Word, and the soul, since it had pre-existed, were
united to it, let him be anathema.
206 Can. 4. If anyone says or holds that the Word of God was made like
all the heavenly orders, having become a Cherubim for the Cherubim, a
Seraphim for the Seraphim, and evidently having been made like all the
powers above, let him be anathema.
207 Can. 5. If anyone says or maintains that in resurrection the
bodies of men are raised up from sleep spherical, and does not agree
that we are raised up from sleep upright, let him be anathema.
208 Can. 6. If anyone says that the sky, and the sun, and the
moon and the stars, and the waters above the heavens are certain living
and material * powers, let him be anathema.
209 Can. 7. If anyone says or holds that the Lord Christ in the future
age will be crucified in behalf of the demons, just as (He was) for the
sake of men, let him be anathema.
210 Can. 8. If anyone says or holds that the power of God is limited,
and that He has accomplished as much as He has comprehended, let him be
anathema.
211 Can. 9. If anyone says or holds that the punishment of the demons
and of impious men is temporary, and that it will have an end at some
time, that is to say, there will be a complete restoration of the
demons or of impious men, let him be anathema.
