We gotta abandon the cities tbh that's where rhe BS happens
Chill in the countryside

There are going to be a lot of people who are going to have to try to survive in the cities

Unless the cities are going to go full sodom & gomorrah

and not even ten righteous will be in them

@ the Gadoligs, I am aware of the 4 levels of "Hell," but I've also been familiarized with 7 levels of the afterlife in total. Can someone explain and/or direct me to a good resource?

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?

@󠀂 󠀂 Missouri, but yeah.

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

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 @󠀂 󠀂
