In The Passion of the Christ (like the Gospels), Jesus is accused of claiming to be the Messiah, Son of God, Bread of Life, etc. But none of these warranted death until He claimed to be the Son of Man coming on the clouds of glory. Son of Man is Jesus’ clear claim to Divinity.

A solemn reminder to study your Orthodox ecclesiology. ☦️

A Black convert priest in the Midwest makes a passing comment about America having no ancient ethno-religious foundation, and within hours anonymous accounts draped in Three-Bar Crosses are telling him to go back to Africa. Meanwhile, celebrity convert clergy in Southern California and Texas put on Old World robes for the cameras, then turn around and denounce our Greek, Slavic, Arab, and Albanian Mother Churches as "colonial" aberrations. Both sides have lost the patristic mind. And the blueprint behind this crisis isn't new, its first American prototype already blew up once in a California redwood forest in 1998. Link ⬇️⬇️⬇️

You have not actually read it. If you haven’t read any of the relatio fathers at the council, the Swiss and German bishops, the clarifications sent by pope pius to the eastern bishops, the theologians after the council, then you you have not read pastor aeternus.
After re-reading Pastor Aeternus, I still firmly reject it. I will continue RCIA with the intention to get baptised, but if I find that the modern Church won’t let me deny it, I will not enter the Church at Easter Vigil.

Agreed that Met. Hilarion is not reliable, but if recognition of sacramental reality outside the canonical boundaries of the Church is “ecumenism” than we got major problems: “For in coming to faith they [those who were baptized by Donatists, i.e. heretical schismatics] thought the true Church to be their own and there they believed in Christ, and received the sacraments of the Trinity. And that all these sacraments are altogether true and holy and divine is most certain…” - Council of Carthage 419 “It has already been said that the grace of baptism can be conferred outside the Catholic communion, just as it can be also there retained…” - St Augustine “Anyone who receives the sacrament of Baptism, whether in the Catholic Church or in a heretical or schismatic one, receives the whole Sacrament…” - St Fulgentius “Anyone baptized in the name of the Trinity is a Christian, no matter what confession he belongs to.” - St. Philaret of Moscow “It seems that our Church is condescending to Catholics and recognizes the power of not only the baptism of the Catholics and other sacraments, but also the priesthood, which is very significant.” - St. Theophan the Recluse “The sacrament of the episcopate is mutually recognized by us [with Catholics] and respected.” - St. Nicholas of Japan “Catholicism should be called a schism with heretical confession, due to which, although there is apostolic succession with the sacraments here, but the inner regenerating grace of the Holy Spirit is not effective for Catholics…” - St Seraphim Bogucharsky “If the sacraments were not performed outside the canonical boundaries of the church, then there would always be one rite – Baptism. The opinion of St. Hilarion (Troitsky) that all the sacraments [of heretics are invalid] is not based on the Tradition.” - Hieromartyr Daniel Sysoev I recommend reading this article arche-athanatos.com/2021/11/…

This is like citing cardinal Marx to claim the Catholic Church officially teaches being LGBT is not a sin. A few things though since I know you’ve done zero research on the subject. He’s not discussing anything but his thoughts on how the MP receives priests. It should also be noted, Met Hilarion (though he has his pockets of supporters) after numerous scandals, statements, and alleged moral failures (they found c*caine in his car) was exiled to Brazil in disgrace. In addition: You certainly can find modern bishops who are ecumenists (Lord have mercy) but we have no ecumenist saints.

If I had to explain Mormonism in one sentence, it would be this: "Mormons are a group of people who sincerely believe they can earn salvation by picking and choosing from a menu of options that include contradictory doctrinal positions espoused by various men they view as prophets." Mormonism "works" because anyone can claim personal revelation regarding any direction or instruction they are provided, utilize historical statements given by leaders as support beams for their disobedience, and feel justified in doing so because "everyone is doing it". Mormonism is the Build-a-Bear religion. As long as what you build is fluffy, makes you feel happy inside, and looks enough like a bear to not alarm the people currently building bears with you, you are welcome in the store.

Watch grok cook an orthobro👇😂
Letter 71 itself rests the faith on the Roman see as the rock against which the gates of hell shall never prevail, while ranking orthodoxy above any individual, even Apostles. Theodore wrote after Honorius yet still treated that see as the unfailing court of appeal when the East fell. The orthodoxy condition binds persons; the Mt 16 promise binds the see. He saw no contradiction.

Gork, show me a retarded Protestant who thinks Ireneaus and Ignatius are the same person.
Oh, please. St. Ignatius of Antioch, St. John’s disciple, taught a local church HAD to have a bishop to be considered a true church. Irenaeus not only clearly identified the church of Rome as a true church, but traced all the bishops of Rome back to St. Peter.

Traditional Orthodox teaching, like all major Christian bodies before 1930, condemned artificial contraception. Major jurisdictions later adjusted: Moscow’s 2000 Social Concept and Constantinople’s 2020 document permit non-abortifacient methods under pastoral guidance as a provisional concession, not an ideal. The Catholic Church alone has kept a firm, binding prohibition.

The Catholic Church. Before 1930 every major Christian body rejected artificial contraception. The Anglican Lambeth Conference that year first permitted it in limited cases; other Protestant groups soon followed. The Catholic Church alone refused the change and has maintained the traditional prohibition ever since (Casti Connubii 1930, Humanae Vitae 1968).

I am officially renouncing Lutheranism. I will carry out my volunteer and musical commitments with my ELCA congregation but I cannot in good conscience receive Holy Communion with them any further. Please pray for my reception into the Roman Catholic Church.

Dyerites really do their own version of Peterson's "What do you mean by "Do", what do you mean by "you", what do you mean by "believe"." when they try to deny that they are dyerites.

I want people to understand what caused all of this in the first place. The same thing happened to Ortho Katherine. Theological disagreements are one thing. Meet them with reason, facts, and charity. But deliberately trying to destroy someone’s reputation is EVIL.
Making jokes about someone is one thing. Destroying someone’s life by doxxing is another. One is shits and giggles; that’s the name of the Twitter game. The other is straight up EVIL. Dyerites, you need to do better.
