  • Tishori is talking about fasting with abstinence. There is no fasting with abstinence on Saturday because it is the Sabbath, a day of rest. Even though we as Christians consider Sunday the "new" sabbath, early Christians came from a Jewish backgroun…
  • We gain spiritually by abstaining from animal products because, for most people, animal products are something that they enjoy and have an appetite for. When we voluntarily give them up, we are teaching our body discipline and that the soul is what …
  • I agree with you that there are times when Christians and even Copts (1st of whom myself) defend the truth in ways that are destructive and not conducive with Christ's message. I pray that the hearts of those who are astray may be warmed towards Chr…
  • Pope Shenouda recently reiterated that monks who are ordained priests should not be taking confessions from women. Monks who are sent to serve in a church for a time are obvious exceptions since they are taking care of the members of the church. Bis…

  • I just want to point out that the roe v wade decision in 1973 (which we all as copts obviously disagree with) has been around for 35 years. In those 35 years, we have had 5 republican presidents that have led America for a combined 23 years. None of…
