Re: Three day fast for communion
There seems to be much variation. I suppose as long as you attend liturgy regularly, local traditions about frequency of communion probably don't matter as much for your spiritual life. I guess I'd say that infrequent communion makes less sense to me: if you are not under a canonical penalty and ...

Re: Orthodox dating Heterodox Why?
I'm commenting as someone who attends a "World Orthodox" church (as there are no TO churches near me to attend) and within a 2 hour drive there are several parishes of varying jurisdictions, so there would be the potential for singles (if they were to visit for liturgy or other functions) to meet ...

Re: The Betrayal Papers (Muslim Brotherhood)
Well I grant Maria originality at least. Usually in these kinds of discussions the consensus is either the Jews, the Masons or the Jesuits. Cyprian also scores some points for calling out the British Royals, but as I pointed out, Lyndon LaRouche was there long before him.
