They are mostly Eastern Catholic

2019-03-09 13:18:40 UTC  

I need and OrthoRus gf

2019-03-09 13:18:42 UTC  

I'm in an Antiochian parish

2019-03-09 13:18:46 UTC  

Oh

2019-03-09 13:18:56 UTC  

Just everyone is too old

2019-03-09 13:19:02 UTC  

My extended family is Syriac Ordo

2019-03-09 13:19:07 UTC  

Reeee

2019-03-09 13:19:12 UTC  

Lel, miaphysites

2019-03-09 13:19:34 UTC  

There is one Syriac parish near here, and there are people my age, but most seem not to take their faith seriously

2019-03-09 13:19:50 UTC  

Yeah, that is a trend in many parishes...

2019-03-09 13:20:03 UTC  

Syriacs are heretics though to you guys so...

2019-03-09 13:20:13 UTC  

The young men in my Antiochian parish seem to take it seriously

2019-03-09 13:20:42 UTC  

The Syriacs are close enough that I think she'd eventually just make it easier and become EO

2019-03-09 13:21:18 UTC  

Yeah, Syriacs are your best bet to convert to EO

2019-03-09 13:21:36 UTC  

The joint agreement on Christology from a few years ago makes it easier too

2019-03-09 13:22:04 UTC  

My godfather was a Coptic Orthodox until he found my godmother and converted to EO

2019-03-09 13:22:19 UTC  

Interesting. Usually goes other direction

2019-03-09 13:22:33 UTC  

Conversion to the faith of the wife seems rare

2019-03-09 13:22:46 UTC  

It was for the better at least

2019-03-09 13:22:56 UTC  

Yeah

2019-03-09 13:23:05 UTC  

His family being hard on him might be one reason why

2019-03-09 13:23:23 UTC  

Was his family EO?

2019-03-09 13:23:25 UTC  

Very strict Egpytian father

2019-03-09 13:23:35 UTC  

No, he came from a Coptic family

2019-03-09 13:24:01 UTC  

Oh, so he was criticized and switched to EO in opposition?

2019-03-09 13:24:07 UTC  

Maybe

2019-03-09 13:24:28 UTC  

Some of them didn't even like his wife since she is LEbanese

2019-03-09 13:24:29 UTC  

I forget, you Russian tradition? Or Greek?

2019-03-09 13:24:34 UTC  

Antiochian!

2019-03-09 13:24:37 UTC  

Reee

2019-03-09 13:24:38 UTC  

Oh wait

2019-03-09 13:24:42 UTC  

You literally just said that lol

2019-03-09 13:24:58 UTC  

Ah, Lebs are optimal though

2019-03-09 13:25:07 UTC  

Beautiful people

2019-03-09 13:25:22 UTC  

They are the modern day Canaanites though

2019-03-09 13:25:32 UTC  

Porhabs...

2019-03-09 13:25:47 UTC  

The real modern day Canaanites are the Muslims though

2019-03-09 13:26:08 UTC  

But they converted to Christianity so it's cool

2019-03-09 13:26:23 UTC  

The disciples in the early days converted them

2019-03-09 13:26:25 UTC  

And they mixed a lot with Greece and Rome
