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

I have an online OSB

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

I play devil's advocate myself sometimes but people like that are annoying

What's also really annoying are those "I'm on the fence" type

"I'm a centrist because both the left and the right are dumb"

I thought this kind of thinking would have died out some time after 2016

Well, if you don't have any strong opinions, there's less chance of you being wrong.

Please pray for me, a wretched and worldly sinner.

Country music is a disservice to the right wing
