Re: CONSTANTINOPLE'S HERESY AND PAPALISM

BOTH CONSTANTINOPLE AND MOSCOW ARE SUCCUMBING TO THE PAPAL HERESY The Constantinople Patriarchate now claims jurisdiction over every autocephalous church, the entire diaspora, and even the right to lift dogmatic anathemas (that is, change Orthodox dogma) unilaterally. This is false-papism and is her...

Monasticism and celibacy

Is the monk himself supposed to know this? Pretty much everyone knows this, laypeople and secular people. Certainly monks know this. Monochos mean "alone" and, like being married, being a lesser schema monk/nun or great schema monk/nun involves a life-long commitment to God to remain &quo...
