A true Greek baptism

    It's not a true Greek Baptism, its a true ORTHODOX Baptism. Exorcisms and renouncing the devil, which Ali apparently doesn't take seriously.

    Total lack of preperation appreciation or even common decency. George Stephanopolis is the epitome of a secular Orthodox.

    Why did she not know of the triple immersion?

    I'm assuming she was dumbing it down for her audience. This isn't exactly a show on Christian theology. I thought it was pretty funny.

      DebD why do you make that assumption?

      The fact that she highlights the intensity in the faith and soberness of the Orthodox Church is good; the interesting thing to me is that she also highlights the Greeks as THE body of the entire Church (the world0wide rest of which there is no mention) and then so cast (in a strange and negative narrative) anglos as incompatible and alien to the True Church. Subtle in a way, but an ongoing narrative in culture these days; a divide and conquer (through ecumenical absorbance of the Church by the WCC etc.)

      And , of course, the mocking of the existence of the devil and his minion, adding to the ignorance and denial in this world of the Devil constantly at work in all spheres to destabilize and destroy the One , Holy , Catholic and Apostolic Orthodox Church. (and evidently using this one ,but failing again, as she highlights the sobriety of Faith in the Orthodox Church : )

    Try making fun of Islam on public media. See where that gets you.

Sr. Vassa: There's no ontological impediment to priestesses

Image
Is the male-only priesthood a discipline or essential to the nature of being a priest? Sr. Vassa (again unflinchingly taking up a contentious topic by climbing up the ladder to the highest platform and then jumping into the deep end head first) dives right in and says there is no reason beyond personal preference to not have female clergy. You know, when people ask me about women in priesthood, they say, 'Sister, why can't women be priests?' And I say, 'Women CAN be priests. We don't WANT them to be priests.' Because you see, God can do anything, and the Church, by divine authority, uh, can do anything, but, the Church doesn't want to - and that's a legitimate reason. What I don't like is when we TRY to pretend that there are other reasons for this, because it's legitimate not to want something, and there are reasons not to want this - right? - but, we shouldn't pretent that there's some... reason, that, for example, the maleness...

OCA takes strong stand for canonical Orthodoxy

( Orthochristian.com ) - The primate of the Orthodox Church in America, His Beatitude Metropolitan Tikhon of Washington and All America and Canada, will concelebrate with the primate of the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church, His Beatitude Metropolitan Onuphry of Kiev and All Ukraine, in western Ukraine later this week. The Ukrainian Orthodox Diocese of Chernivtsi and Bukovina “awaits the visit of the primate of the Orthodox Church in America on June 1–2, 2024. Solemn services will be held in the Cathedral of the Descent of the Holy Spirit in Chernivtsi, with the participation of both primates.” The Holy Synod of the Orthodox Church in America formally rejects communion with the schismatics of the “Orthodox Church in Ukraine,” recognizing only the canonical UOC under Met. Onuphry. The Ukrainian primate was the honored guest at the OCA’s 18th All-American Council in July 2015.
