constantine moved the capital from rome to constantinople
so byzantium is second rome

when constantinople fell, the next in line to its throne was the wife of ivan iv

succession 101

Did she move the capital of Byzantium to Moscow

well, she was in moscow...

and constantinople was in turkish hands

and her children were the heirs to the empire

That doesn't answer my question

Pope Julius II wanted to start a crusade to retake Constantinople back.

the nibba died before he could do it. 😔

moving rhe capital matters for the first rome because they had no succession laws

which the byzantines figured out

Julius II will always be my favourite pope.

It's okay. I think the city is defended by satan himself

Every time Russians came close to taking it, all the demons come out

First time we came close to Tsargrad the Crimean War happened, second time the bolshevik revolution

the anglos intervened

a d the krauts

Ah, the servants of the devil

(((germanics)))

this but unironically

the treaty of versailles was very unfair tho

calvinist reformed churches are awesome
>no rock band style worship
>full pews
>based organ player
>still use hymns
>belief in the saints, the holy triune, and the catholic church (not exactly sure about that part but it was in a song we sang)
>saw a baby get baptized
>theres actually children and families there
>super friendly people
>still have a plurality of dutch heritage dating back to the 19th century
>belief that good works are irrelevant and faith is paramount

Yeah but they are Calvinist <:eksdee:558283291292336138>

@Dasick Continuing the race-mixing topic from <#595818386383175690>

Considering the bolshevik revolution, I don't think we're short on saints and martyrs, lmao

>belief that good works are irrelevant and faith is paramount

The way people can distort the teachings of Christ and the apostles and say filth like this is beyond my comprehension

sola fide tier bro

thats cringe

if you listen to spas or tsartv for any length of time, you will also find russian priests kvetching about the folk paganism prrvalent in orthodoxy

the article reminded me of tgat somewhat

@Mozalbete ⳩ if thats true, then God will see me when i do good works regardless. i really want to go back to this church next sunday

God will also see how you say that love and charity do not matter at all

So better be careful before saying something because someone said it

Sola Fide isn't the issue. The issue is autistic people taking the name for the definition and then leaving it at that.
