Riding the line between talking theology / doing debates, and all the other issues like geopolitics, lit, satire has been an odd thing. For some it is confusing, for others, not an issue.

However, after 10 years of mixed content, I feel that the time of online theology debate for me has come to a close. No one has of yet told me to say this - it’s a decision I’ve pondered for a while. I would rather focus on other topics I find interesting and religion is authentically at the parish level, not online anyway. It seems as if online theology debate is pretty much done. Onward to producing fun content on the other subjects!

Is this what it feels like to have no apostolic succession?

[Jay Dyer @JayDyer]

Protestants are making a nothingburger out of a minimal fee many Greek Churches have because baptisms are usually large celebrations, not empty “symbols.” This covers baptismal robe, candles, perhaps icons, and the celebration feast after. Many churches simply ask for a donation. This is nothing, btw, compared to most fundie churches which demand 10% tithe whereas most orthodox churches leave it all voluntary. This is just more ignorant moral gotchas because they have no intellectual arguments for their sects.

[Orthodox Ethos @OrthodoxEthos]

I am sorry that you are ignorant of history but the truth is not hard to find: you do not recite the Nicene creed but a modified version of it which was condemned by the entire Church ( Pope included) in the 9 th century only to be adopted by later popes and kept until this day.

Long before Luther there was the first Protestant, the pope, Sergius IV, in 1009, who unilaterally and against all previous councils and popes included the Filioque (“and the Son”) in the Creed (at the part referring to the Holy Spirit) in his letter to his fellow bishops in the East. This was in direct contradiction to the Eighth Oecumenical Council (879) declaration of Faith, which forbade ANY addition to the Creed — the Symbol of Faith which had been accepted and used throughout the Church for 600+ years.

Then in 1014, at the request of the German King Henry II who had come to Rome to be crowned Emperor and was surprised at the different custom in force there, that Pope, Benedict VIII, who owed to Henry his restoration to the papal throne after usurpation by Antipope Gregory VI, had the Creed, with the addition of Filioque, sung at Mass in Rome for the first time.

Since then the Filioque phrase has been included in the Creed throughout all the Latin liturgical rites.

In 1054 the arrogant papal legates “excommunicated” the Patriarch of Constantinople for not accepting the addition.

“You used to go to hell for eating meat on Fridays, but 60 years ago the Pope decided that eating meat on Fridays is no big deal actually. Sucks for anyone who went to hell for doing it before, but what can you do? I love the 2000 year old unbroken tradition of the Church”

A colossal THANK YOU to our dear Orthodox clergy for their tireless efforts during Holy Week and the entire Lenten season. I estimate that with prep+service time, most of them put in 80 hours of work during this week alone. Add spiritual warfare to the equation and one can only imagine the weight they bear.

May you all enjoy this WELL DESERVED time of rest and jubilation with your families. Christ is risen!☦️

Remember when Protestants and Roman Catholics called us Orthodox ‘hateful’ for excluding them, while we cited the slippery slope of ecumenism? Well, now the leader of the world’s largest self-proclaimed Christian church is openly endorsing communion with Muslims.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Communion between Christians and Muslims takes shape under the mantle of Our Lady of Africa. Here, in #Algeria, the maternal love of Lalla Meryem gathers everyone as children, within our rich diversity, in our shared aspiration for dignity, love, justice, and peace. In a world where division and wars sow pain and death, living in unity and peace is a compelling sign. #ApostolicJourney

The Great Schism🧵

Why the Orthodox Church is easily identifiable as the Church of the first millennium, even to a layman with an elementary understanding of history (thus also refuting the Protestant claim that it’s all too complicated and there is no ‘One True Church’)

[Robbert Leusink 🇳🇱 @robbertleusink]

Every year, Israeli police search an ancient tomb for matches and lighters

They find nothing

The Orthodox Patriarch then enters alone:

The tomb is sealed behind him

And after a while he emerges with lit candles

The flame is flown by jets to Athens, Sofia, and Moscow to light every candle in those nations

The Ceremony of the Holy Fire has been documented since 328 AD

[tree beard @BSwellberg]

@grok who is more faithful to Jesus Christ, Eastern Orthodoxy or Roman Catholicism. You must choose one and explain why.

GOLDEN AGE UPDATE:

Nick Fuentes talks about Trump’s INSANE deleted post where he advocated for mutilation surgeries of trans children, as long as there is parental consent.

[Orthodoxy Above The Clouds @noetic_healing]

St Paisios said you need to either be married or a monk by 25.

He spoke strongly to women.

Stop playing games, stop making excuses, time is short

“The proverb says, “Either get married young, or become a monk young.” Young women, especially, should decide on a path of life by the time they reach the age of twenty-five. After that age, it becomes more difficult for a woman to get married, because she thinks that she will have to submit to someone else. In the meantime, as she grows older, she acquires peculiar habits – and then, who would have her? Then she will be seeking marriage primarily for security and protection rather than for creating a family.”

MICHAEL BURRY HAD DROPPED A CHILLING WARNING:

“THE MOMENT YOUR INTEREST PAYMENTS EXCEED TAX REVENUE, YOUR COUNTRY OFFICIALLY BECOMES A PONZI SCHEME.” 👀

WHEN DEBT SERVICES ITSELF…
WHEN INTEREST OUTPACES INCOME…
THE SYSTEM STARTS EATING ITSELF.

THIS ISN’T THEORY.
THIS IS MATH.

AND THE CLOCK IS TICKING.
