@tlobain@Talonthepapist Africa has a lot of Orthodox churches too and these are those, under Patriarch Theodore II
Don’t be so quick to throw them under the bus just cuz they get a lil groovy
@DianeKamer@CHS_SC843 Deadly serious Diane! I get criticisms for clergy being protected and lacking accountability, but a RC criticizing the ones we suspend, laicize, and have arrested is… a bit of a bad look, almost like you’d rather we do what you guys usually do
@ortho_no Also, I’ve heard that “we can declare anyone a saint as long as they didn’t say mean things about Rome” cope once before but it kinda falls apart with this doesn’t it?
@ortho_no Online tradcat just now discovers the harrowing of Hades 🙏🥀
But yeah man you’re so right. Dogmatically declare that being under Rome is necessary for salvation and then canonize people who objectively weren’t under Rome. Intellectually honest people call that a system defeater
@Wictor2501@ortho_no Truly boggles the mind, celebrating feast days of people who are in hell. If only you had a guy with the authority to put a stop to it!
Oh wait his predecessor put icons of them with halos in the Vatican
