Is vigiliante justice a sin?
@Smackface I added you on here but I can't on Faceobok because I've been zucced atm
For the most part yeah. The state is what has authority to kill.
But I think the commonfolk are well within their rights to smash idols and pagan temples and to beat the crap out of a caught criminal
@TheImperator not necessarily. If the state does its job, then you shouldn't intercede. However, if the state refuses to enact justice, and in places like America, does the exact opposite intentionally, it's not only not a sin, but a moral imperative. I believe Sts. Augustine and John Chrysostomos aren't unique to either Catholicism or Orthodoxy.
```"It seems to me that an unjust law is no law at all."```
-St. Augustine
```"He who is not angry, whereas he has cause to be, sins. For unreasonable patience is the hotbed of many vices, it fosters negligence, and incites not only the wicked but the good to do wrong."```
-St. John Chrysostom
Poland has become increasingly unsound recently, but if this is true (it’s Reddit, I know), this redeems a lot of that.
What's Poland been unsound on?
Save for the rainbow.
Poland is democratic, there is nothing good about it.
@Based Chav radical holocaustism, antigermanic autism
"Radical holocaustism"
Kek'd.
I'm British, if anything, I'm going to find their antigermanic shenanigans entertaining.
Germans and Poles had a common enemy in Russia and let the Eternal Anglo and Eternal Frenchman fight each other.
Autism against either one is foolishness to me
democracy is gay
Agreed
Second.
Big
Agree
yes !
Did Mozambique finally get his supporter role?
@Mozalbete ⳩
@Ironclad It seems that something prevents the bot from applying the role
Had an Eastern Rite priest sing the Gospel at the Missa Solemnis yesterday.
Lowest voice I’ve ever heard.
👌
Can somebody explain, rather extensively, the recent troubles in the Orthodox Church regarding the autocephaly in Ukraine?
Your best bet is to research it on your own
Essentially the Greek church is stepping on toes and appointing its own people to that church or rather creating another church distinct from the Russian church which has rightful autonomy over Ukraine
how do you orthobros explain the palamite transition since it's a huge turning point in the way theology is approached ?
especially since you're very anti-change and anti-thomist (which is difficult to understand since it's wonderfully traditional)
😦
Not a theologian or expert in any measure, but thomism came after the split, no?
Yeah, quite a while afterwards.
Seems a bit silly to discredit the entire school of thought over the matter, though.
Thomism is pretty solid.
>thomism
>traditional
yeah, for the modern west sure
After eight hundred years, yes.
Well it's not traditional for the orthodox faith
And palamas is
What's the difference? Sorry, I honestly don't know.
