Like it or not catholics are our brothers in christ. Even if they're heretics
Cradle orthodox dont usually share the opinion on Catholics that converts have. We're much warmer to them
As a former Catholic, I have a hard time seeing that, but I do not hate them
You can be a former anything, the point is that you're former.
Your soul is absolutely different from a cradle Orthodox
ontologically only *the* Church is Christian and others are at best icons of the church
I might call a filioquist brother, but brother in Christ? Not exactly
Although I'll gang up on Protestants with him
I see a lot of dgenerate cradle Orthodox
So?
Very one dimensional of you to assume that all cradles are virtuous by the sole merit of being cradle
Yet you say my soul is different
Like I'm some foriegn body.
Yes you are
And the degenerate cradles are estranged bodies
Doesn't make you better than me
Not in the eyes of God, no
But in relation to you on the human level, I am more likely to retain the spirit of Orthodoxy
At least I like to believe that
Cradles are more likely to apostatize too
Converts are more likely to ruin everything
You got rabid sectarians that screech at the sight of a catholic on one side and crypto-communist infiltrators that havent given up their previous convictions on the other
Hence why Orthodoxy in USA is a hit or miss
Whereas back at home it remains steadfast.
So what are your thoughts on Jay Dyer?
I am not a movie person so Ive never really been interested enough to listen to his shows
But I know he attracts a lot of converts
Usually the screechy types
It's not all about movies though
I first heard about him several years ago, before his conversion
Honestly, he didnt peak my interest, thats all
His topics dont usually interest me
I am more of a straight up history and politics guy.
Literally this
😳
😬 very cringe bro 😬
