@FeserEdward Thanks for re-posting. It’s so important to name this and for people to see it.

This is a mark of what I have called "the voluntarist personality," and one sees it the followers of a personality cult no less than in the leader. (One sees it in the most fanatical defenders of Pope Francis, for example.) I've written about this here: edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2018/10/the-vo…

One of Trump's persistent personality problems is that he has no category for someone who disagrees with him in good faith, or to uphold a higher ideal. Every last person in his way is simply dismissed as evil, corrupt, or an idiot. Personal loyalty is the measure of all things.

@AudioScribeOW Regarding her book Thinking Orthodox, approximately the first half had some helpful insights, but the rest of the book is a long monotonous rant about people doing theology without academic credentials. Did she have an editor? I found it unreadable.

"Acquiring the Orthodox Phronema" by Eugenia Constantinou, Ph.D. youtu.be/WuDz_hd2SdE We are happy to share an excellent lecture from a Holy Transfiguration Greek Orthodox Church event. The speaker is Eugenia Constantinou, Ph.D. This is the first part of a two-part series.

There are really only two possibilities:
1. The SSPX will (once again) be the sacrificial lamb that restores the TLM in diocesan churches, or
2. This is the catalyst that sends Tradition back to the catacombs.

@GranthamIs @Josiaicae I’m certain there are better.
God bless you and have a good evening.

@AnathemaZed @Josiaicae So your sole claim that “only *orthodox* males are permitted” is not correct.

As long as it’s for YouTube, it’s apparently completely fine for the OCA to allow a guy that blasphemes the icons, the mother of God, and is less than a layman, into the Holy of Holies, the Altar of the Church :

@GranthamIs @Josiaicae Obviously not. We’re not legalists.

@AnathemaZed @Josiaicae Except literally every single unbaptized male baby goes there during the churching. Do they not count?

@ARandomHippo_ @FlatCath Try going without food or any liquids before Sunday Mass this weekend.
English
Skipping breakfast (a meal that many don’t eat anyways) vs usually skipping breakfast. Not a big deal.
The main case where this matters is afternoon or evening masses, which are quite common. A Catholic holding a midnight fast going to an 8pm mass on Sunday would be substantial. Not sure if y’all do that or not.

In the Novus Ordo church, before a Sunday Mass at 10:00 a.m., I can scarf down two Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuits at 9:45 a.m. in my car in the church parking lot and receive Holy Communion at 10:46 a.m. The Catholic Church calls this “the Eucharistic fast.”
In the Orthodox Church, we fast from all food and liquid, including water (except for use with medications) from midnight before receiving the Holy Mysteries, typically around 11:30 a.m. if it’s a 10 a.m. Divine Liturgy. Add about 20 minutes before relief at coffee hour.

Former (traditional) Catholic here. The word that comes to me, having been Orthodox for some time, is "organic." There is something about Orthodoxy that works like a living thing works, with every part contributing to the whole and making perfect sense and having a sense of rightness and goodness. In hindsight, so many of the doctrines of Catholicism, or rather, often, its take on basic Christian truths, is at root the product of men's discursive reason. It's fabricated to that extent, and now, having the savor of Orthodoxy, I cannot stand the smell of those fabrications that either diluted, twisted, or ignored the real Apostolic traditions of Orthodoxy.

@EthanWayne2001 Some people -- even clerics in high positions -- confuse headlines with reality.
Just the fact that Patriarch Kirill is always newsworthy doesn't mean that "the Russian Orthodox Church" is fatally diseased.
English
“The Russian Orthodox Church has become a tool and a means to the promote the secular, military, political, [and] financial interests of the Russian State.
…Russian people are a faithful people. They don’t deserve such a leadership. They don’t deserve such a church.
They deserve a Church which is faithful and following the teachings of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
- His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America, Viche Interview, January 27 2026

@PriestKristoph This is why, by the way, that Protestants are unaware that Our Lord actually expects us to do His will to be saved.
English
Fr. Chris, you may not know this, but Protestants don't read the Gospels (although they do know John 3:16 and a verse in John 10 about not being snatched out of the Lord's hand). They do know Romans, a few other Pauline epistles, and some rockin' Proverbs and stuff.
Their women sometimes use Women's Devotional Bibles with Psalms that have flowers in the margins.

I am an outlier in this thread insofar as I oppose the death penalty. Nevertheless, as a theologian I understand that the changes made to the catechism on this issue scream out for a deeper theological conversation since it has never been a part of magisterial teaching that it is intrinsically evil. John Paul II also opposed the death penalty but made largely prudential arguments and studiously avoided calling it intrinsically evil. I think Pope Francis understood this problem too but wanted to go beyond merely prudential arguments and therefore called it “inadmissible” rather than intrinsically evil. But I think he was being a bit of a sophist in this act of linguistic legerdemain, and left us with lingering questions as to how this squares with past magisterial statements.
@edFeser has every right to address those lingering questions. He should not have been disinvited. Especially since he was not even going to speak on that topic. Austin Ivereigh and the Where Peter Is gaggle of mini me Torquemadas can go pound sand.
Edward Feser@FeserEdward
As usual, @austeni misleads and plays by an arbitrary double standard. What I have said is that the revision to 2267 is ambiguous insofar as it could be read as saying that the death penalty is intrinsically wrong – but that since this would contradict scripture and the previous magisterial teaching of 2,000 years, it is better to read it as a prudential judgment. I have argued (e.g. here: catholicworldreport.com/2020/10/07/thr… ) that there is no third alternative reading, and for many years now, people like Ivereigh have never answered my arguments but simply hurl abuse. In any event, I am in no way “at odds with the magisterium.” I simply disagree with the interpretation people like Ivereigh put on the teaching of the magisterium. Since seminary faculty are academics (as opposed to hack journalists with an agenda), they understand the distinction and thus see no problem in inviting me. Meanwhile, Fr. Martin has for years now openly criticized the Catechism’s teaching at 2358 that a homosexual inclination is “objectively disordered” (ncregister.com/features/fathe…) and he has urged that this language be removed. Oddly, Ivereigh does not criticize him for this or say that it puts him “at odds with the magisterium.” So, Ivereigh’s concern with fidelity to the Catechism and Catholic teaching is phony, a mere rhetorical ploy he deploys against enemies but not friends. Everyone already knew that, of course, but it is useful for him to provide yet another illustration of it. The reason for the screencap below, by the way, is that Ivereigh has blocked me, so that I can’t comment on his tweet directly. He prefers to do his sniping from behind the safety of the block, rather than directly. It seems he has as much courage as he has consistency.
