you don't have to be Russian to follow the Russian patriarch

If you're American you can still abide by their rules

and evidently, as Catholics have made it out canonically, you do not have to be Catholic to be a saint.

so there is no reason to be a Catholic in the first place

you can literally reject the Pope, and be sainted

Arent there western saints among the orthodox too?

none that I know.

feel free to prove me wrong

Sounds unfair let me look

If you're referring to people like St Augustine, then they lived prior to the schism

ye prefer to argue among brothers of what happened many generations ago and deafen your ears and blindly not read the words of which he promised he would give you upon return

Apparently for the orthodox saints are all who are in Heaven

well there are different layers of Sainthood, naturally

@Eternal Entropy you can't even capitalize "He", what is there to discuss with you?

I give up here. The doorway you have now

The doorway is only through Orthodoxy, not some 19th century cult.

ye know not of which you speak

No u, my friend, no u

I read the bible

it is my love

@Epic Style Where are you from? I'm greek so I'm curious to know what kind of orthodoxy are you talking about

and you?

have you read

@Panikooooos I'd rather keep my deets on the down low. But I love theology and philosophy, and ended up sticking with Orthodoxy as a result

I do believe that the Greek Orthodox Church is walking on very thin ice with its stance on Ukraine

and if they're not careful, anathema will come their way

Ukraine, huh? What do you mean

The Greek bishops recognized the Ukrainian Orthodox Church as a sovereign entity. Which is out of line with tradition.

Ah, I see
