@friendofGod325 The woman beside me on Sunday knew basically every word the liturgy. When I asked her if she was going to commune, she said no, then muttered, I ate too much turkey.
@jaydyer St. Mark, glory to you for your stalwart rejection of humane salvation, spiritual salvation must have been so clear at the time for you. Make it clear to us also, as we are humble and unworthy servants of Christ God whom is our salvation now and ever and unto ages of ages
@jaydyer It turns out Saint Mark’s rejection of the union of Florence would be held 1000 years later and the highest esteem.
Chad.
Love that guy.
Prayers to St. Mark
If you want to be attacked go and profess your Christianity on the street corner, you will have no difficulty finding enemies...
YOU seek enemies in the Orthodox Church, I wonder if you know why that might be?
@poperespecter1@KevinSmithtewdg@grok@beachbumer14@caritashumilis If you wanna be attacked go and profess your Christianity on the street corner. You will have no difficulty finding enemies. But you seek enemies in the orthodox church. I wonder if you know why?
@poperespecter1@KevinSmithtewdg@grok@beachbumer14@caritashumilis Look, I find it really weird that your argument is our abuse is no higher than your abuse. I don’t really understand what the point of your post was then?
It feels like you feel attacked when someone brings this up, but you brought this up.
@poperespecter1@KevinSmithtewdg@grok@beachbumer14@caritashumilis Brother… humbly I think turn about being fair play is a bit childish but I don’t feel like you’re focused on the highest. You’re just kind of Sperging out about this (to be fair, it’s a real problem for you) but this war you’re trying to become entrenched in is fake. He is risen
@poperespecter1@caritashumilis If sinners were not allowed to be monks there would be no monks.
We agree there is a special place for people who harm children
Question for you now: care to explain the
500,000+ catholic cases vs. 354 orthodox

@poperespecter1@caritashumilis Herman Podmoshenski a schismatic who was defrocked for abuse accusations
Though ironic considering the RC checkered past I fail to see how one man’s sins indict another
St. Seraphim was likely ardent is his rebuking of sexual sin because of this relationship no?

@DrFrankTurek I hate to say this, but though more people are calling themselves Christians. There are significantly less Christians. Just happily living in sin, not a thought of repentance in the world.
