Would it be sacrilegious to add Regeneron's antibodies to the antidoron instead. It was after all invented by a Greek.
Oh ye of little faith! If God protects the faithful from getting sick by receiving the Eucharist, kissing the chalice or relics or icons, why would he allow someone to get sick from receiving antidoron?Would it be sacrilegious to add Regeneron's antibodies to the antidoron instead.

I don't have the need to put god to the test. That was hashed out when the devil tempted Christ to jump off the cliff. Plus, I already communioned this year.Oh ye of little faith!

Probably positively. Last week 8000 minks died because they caught CV from one of the workers at a farm. https://www.cnn.com/world/live-news...08-20-intl/h_b1b17737445ac5cb60f54df4b0467c5dThe dogs under the table might eat the crumbs and be affected by the antibodies!
A lot of people sound like they're trying to be the Micro Machines guy when they pray "Lord have mercy" 40x
I remember this vividly.
I hardly argue on Orthodox twitter as I think it’s a sad state of affairs and poor representation of EOy to be honest. Many times the guys there do a serious disservice to your communion. I hate the “cope” and “dunked” culture of Catholic and Orthodox twitter respectively. I’ve actually dialed back on religious twitter for the most part besides the odd comment here and there6) Wandile has a fixation/obsession with Orthodoxy. It troubles his conscience and makes him doubt. This is why he must go trolling at times, which he does on Orthodox Twitter as well. He's trying to reassure himself that all is well with the papal system, but his confidence is shaken.
That will never happen. EOy to me, in all honesty, is something akin to high liturgical Protestantism with valid sacraments. Kind of like what Anglicanism were before they invalidated their orders or the Old Catholic before they did the same thing.7) Wandile will become Orthodox.![]()

I like you too and appreciate the sentiment but that’s never going to happen as my salvation depends on it not happening. Rather pray for my struggles against sin.8) I actually happen to like Wandile and pray often for his conversion.
LOL11) Hagia Sophia is a Catholic Church.
Fair enough. Although I'm sorry to hear that, I respect your convictions. And I'm sorry I've been unreasonably harsh at times. God bless.I hardly argue on Orthodox twitter as I think it’s a sad state of affairs and poor representation of EOy to be honest. Many times the guys there do a serious disservice to your communion.

That will never happen. EOy to me, in all honesty, is something akin to high liturgical Protestantism with valid sacraments. I have no doubts about Rome but I do desire the east and west to unite.

Wandile's right on that point. He just doesn't understand who the real Catholic Church is.
This is an important point.6. Christianity will probably be almost extinct within the next 100 years.
Polish Orthodox Church in most (but yes, not all) has been opposing the goverment restrictions. And we don't rather have problem with covid inside the society. The unique parish that has some notable (and, geenrally, faithful) people with covid is the one of few that put limits up to 5 for the Holy Week and Pascha and defended masks. Not kidding.I do not know what Vagantes and Old Calendarists in the East have done in response to COVID measures as opposed to the mainline Orthodox Churches? In the west, Traditionalists normally have a pretty bad name for their level of independence from the mainstream. However, this current COVID situation has brought some pretty troubling church government practices into sharp contrast with how the more independent organizations are handling this situation. I am not advocating for any of those group's positions on the church per se, but the mainstream of east and west have both taken some pretty sharp blows from their own congregations for following the herd on the COVID restrictions, particularly in how they were administered over against the normal worship life of their respective Churches.
The state of the church in the public's eyes is worse than it was 20 years ago and certainly has grown much worse in the last 10. I fear a true and all out assault on the churches is certainly much closer than at any time in my life. The capitulation of church leaders to government's mandates has certainly not helped during this time and is quite troubling.
Only 2 or 3 are needed.Here: Christianity can never decline or go extinct. It never grows or shrinks. It’s just that few people have ever really found it to begin with.
I suppose that makes Roman Catholicism whatever Joel Osteen is.EOy to me, in all honesty, is something akin to high liturgical Protestantism with valid sacraments.
...but when the Son of Man comes will He find faith on earth - Luke 18:86. Christianity will probably be almost extinct within the next 100 years.
"Essentially, Protestantism is nothing other than a generally applied papism. For in Protestantism, the fundamental principle of papism is brought to life by each man individually. After the example of the infallible man in Rome, each Protestant is a cloned infallible man, because he pretends to personal infallibility in matters of faith. It can be said: Protestantism is a vulgarized papism, only stripped of mystery (i.e., sacramentality), authority and power."I suppose that makes Roman Catholicism whatever Joel Osteen is.
it would make it the truthI suppose that makes Roman Catholicism whatever Joel Osteen is.
Didn’t Martin Luther say something nearly identical to this about the Protestant movement he started?"Essentially, Protestantism is nothing other than a generally applied papism.

I don't get the joke. Why would Luther criticize his own movement?Didn’t Martin Luther say something nearly identical to this about the Protestant movement he started?

It’s not a joke. Luther tended to criticize the effects of his movement often. I remember, years back, reading a quote of Luther saying something to this effect as a criticism of the unwanted effects that Sola Scriptura had which he lamented. Something tot the effect of “I wanted to liberate the people from the pope, but now instead every man is his own pope”I don't get the joke. Why would Luther criticize his own movement?
I can't believe I found a ready-made image.Pope Joel of the latter times

This could not only get you in trouble with your friends, it could get you in hell2) I think Origen might be in heaven (I certainly hope he is)
Personally speaking, without vatican 2 i would have very difficult time discerning where the Church is, thankfully a manifest reality is the best proof you ever need, as long as one is willing to recognize it.3) Vatican II was okay
Go ahead, have a good time.4) Oreintal orthodox are much closer to catholics than they are to Eastern Orthodox and will establish communion
Rome first.
I have never touched Romanides's works because i am hearing mixed views of them, not a good sign and probably not good idea to read them as you never know when you are going to read and absorb something unhealthy.5) Modern Eastern Orthodoxy, in following Fr John Romanides, is pelagian and Romanides was honestly a heretic (This one will get me in trouble
That is a fantasy of yours. I suppose you are entitled to your fantasies.) Russia will establish communion with Rome before Greece does.
Actually, THEY ARE the two sides of the same coin, the orthodox coin but they do not struggle for power, both dont care about it. Moscow minds its own business and it is happy and the EP is occupied and puppeted by you-know-who and is used as political tool against Russia.9) Moscow and Constantinople are two sides of the same coin. They hide behind theology but both just want top spot in the EO communion.
Constantinople is not moving towards anything, it is puppeted. Once everything is normilized, all this "movements" will reverse back to normal.10) Constantinople is moving towards a more catholic understanding is primacy.
I hope that Origen is in heaven. He submitted all his teachings to the authority of the church and died in peace with the church. That’s what I will say.This could not only get you in trouble with your friends, it could get you in hell
