If you admire Archbishop Lefebvre as I once fervently did, look into the life of Saint Mark of Ephesus. Both men stood against false councils. Both refused compromise with heresy. Both clung to the tradition that was handed to them. Yet only one is called Saint.

And I say this as someone without a dog in the fight. The Catholic church has a more relaxed attitude towards images along with our understanding of the development of doctrine doesn't make Other Paul's case a threat to us but we also would be fine if Orthodox were right. I am literally neutral.

@shagbark_hick Ive never heard of this. Maybe you should consider for the state of your soul that fishing for something thats uncommon, then presenting as common is lying. Just goes to show that RCs have a physiological need to deceive themselves to keep their religion.

Facebook suggests Eastern Orthodox groups for me often, though I'm Catholic. I read them sometimes. One thing I've noticed in them lately is a trend in which Western converts to EO do DNA tests hoping to find some Eastern European DNA. Reminds me of "Messianic Christians" doing the same DNA tests hoping to find out that they're 1% Jewish, etc. Seems to me that there are some very strange side effects of coupling ethnicity and religion too closely. Things can get LARPy or even aspirationally "trans-racial" quickly among a lot of the converts to these ethnicity-obsessed faiths. Often those who convert can only barely conceal their deep disgruntlement with having been born a Westerner, or a Gentile, or whatever. This is one of the things I really do appreciate about the Second Vatican Council -- Catholicism became way, way more cosmopolitan / universal after the Council, and so any possibility of the Church being plagued with ethnophyletism (and its occasionally bizarre second-order effects for converts) was greatly reduced.

I wouldn't want to live in another country if I didn't have any affinity with the language(s), culture(s) and people(s) there. I don't believe in treating the world as my economic playground---this is what causes problems like diasporoid stinky lunchbox complaining hour.

Who killed Pope John VIII? Besides being the first Pope to be murdered, he also provided support to the 879 rejection of the Filioque and support of St Photius as Patriarch of Constantinople. John VIII (872–882) Selection. Archdeacon of Rome, a career curial official, elected in December 872 — a conventional, uncontested succession. Death. Assassinated in December 882 — the first pope known to have been murdered. The account holds that he was poisoned by members of his own entourage and, when the poison worked too slowly, finished off with a hammer or club. His killers appear to have been relatives or clerics of his own household. Work. Vigorous and politically shrewd, he spent his reign fighting the Saracen raids on southern Italy and Rome, building a fleet, organizing alliances, and at points paying tribute when force failed. He crowned Charles the Bald emperor in 875 and later Charles the Fat. His decisive act for your purposes: he reversed Rome’s line on Photius. His legates attended the Council of Constantinople of 879–880, which rehabilitated Photius, reaffirmed the Creed without addition, and reiterated the prohibition on altering it. Whether John VIII fully ratified everything the council did is exactly the point Catholics and Orthodox dispute — but his legates were present and signed.

Baseball’s Greatest Moments
The most home runs by a Japanese-born player is Shohei Ohtani's 297 and climbing, a total that dwarfs the rest of the list. Hideki Matsui and Ichiro Suzuki follow. Ohtani has become the greatest power hitter Japan has ever sent to the majors, by a wide margin.

People like Nicholai are the reason EOs are endlessly accused of semi pelagianism and it hurts my soul.

@Acolyte83349490 @Alex_Ortodoxie @C2Antiquity Do you have a personal animus against Ben or something. Seems odd to pull out the "errm aktually! ☝️" over a rhetorical jab that Sorin's using against Protestants Not trying to start an argument. Confused about your behavior is all.

1. He wasn't a top Protestant guy. He was on YT for about a year with a relatively small following. 2. For a "top guy" what degrees does he hold? In what fields? What has he published? 3. To my knowledge, Merritt was a non-denom youth pastor and is currently a catechumen, which qualifies him for...nothing.
