Dante's hell is fanfiction bro
@Quarantine_Zone check out "The Soul after Death" by Fr Seraphim Rose
I just bought a book by Fr Seraphim Rose
Using birthday money to get some books and flags
Which one did you buy?
@Byzas different 7 levels
Unrelated to Dante
The Place of Augustine in the Orthodox Church
I also got two other books but not by Rose
Where'd you buy that one?
Amazon

I get most of my Orthodox books from my bookstore
Local bookstore doesn't have orthodox stuff
My parish has a bookstore that has a website
And has lots of Orthodox stuff
I go there, or on eBay or on Amazon
My parish only has an osb
And I already had one
What's the deal with Patriarch Bartholomew? @Byzas
Oh dear what is he saying now @ChuuniMage
I just want someone to give me a brief rundown on bartholomew
I don't know anything politically
So some schismatic Ukrainian metropolitan thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and declare autocephaly or whatever and Moscow said fuck you, you get anathema. Actially make that 2 schismatists, but both LARPing as patriarchs.
Then you have Bartholomew, who decided to basically play Uniate and repost one of the Ukrainian false patriarch shitposts and Moscow got mad and the rest of the Orthodox Patriarchates got mad
They told Bart to stop being an idiot but Bart said no so Moscow blocked Bart
I see
This is really bad because worst case scenario schism, and plus I heard something about Greeks not being able to take communion in Russian churches
This is why I decided not to go with goarch tbh
No, it's false @
Hope you can translate
Bartholomew is a CIA/NATO asset basically
And he probably will go uniate if he stops pretending he's some sort of orthodox pope
Ah ok
Am I the only one annoyed by those "I just play devil's advocate" types on debate discords
No
