@PlisskenPatriot Great week for us brunette enjoyers.

The last thousand years of Orthodoxy matter and those of us who act as though we are only bound to the first seven Ecumenical Councils are the furthest thing from traditionalists.

Portanto, esta Luz [não-criada] não é uma luz sensorial, e aqueles que a contemplam não o fazem simplesmente com seus olhos, mas são transformados pelo poder do Espírito Santo.

Lição aprendida essa semana: eu realmente não sou eu mesmo, pelo menos não por completo, sem duas xícaras de café puro por dia.

@fetodehijab Hmm... se você desse mais autonomia administrativa e econômica aos estados (pelo menos SP), talvez eu goste...

I think this is the first time I hear of Archbishop Basil Krivoshein... very interesting!

‘But what particularly offends Orthodox sentiment in Dositheus's Confession is the prohibition against laypeople reading Holy Scripture, especially the Old Testament In defense of this prohibition, Dositheus cites the Church's experience, which supposedly has become convinced of the harm that comes from laypeople reading Holy Scripture, and he attempts to justify it by asserting that, as Scripture itself states, salvation comes from "hearing the word of God," not from reading it. Needless to say, the "experience" in question here is that of the Roman Catholic Church, not the Orthodox Church. There, it is understandable, for the church structure and even the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church are indeed not in harmony with Scripture, and the laity should not know this. But this is not the case in Orthodoxy; it has nothing to fear from Holy Scripture. Let's not even mention the fact that this "experiment" of prohibiting the reading of Holy Scripture proved very unsuccessful and was one of the reasons why Protestants fell away from the Roman Catholic Church. And the claim that salvation comes not from reading, but from "listening" is nothing more than sophistry. In any case, nowhere in the patristic tradition or the decrees of the Ancient Church can one find any indication of the harm of reading the word of God. It is interesting to note that in the Russian translation of Dositheus's "Confession," made in 1838 by Metropolitan Philaret, the passage prohibiting laypeople from reading the Bible was omitted.’

@pedrorelin É um sentimento nobre. Mas com as experiências iniciais que tive até então, acredito que o primeiro passo para isso é sempre começar com nós mesmos, e é claro, as comunidades locais que já existem.
