St. Athanasius: "All creatures of God are good and clean. For there is nothing useless or unclean that the Logos of God has made. “For we are a fragrance of Christ among the saved” says the Apostle (II Cor. 2:15). But inasmuch as the Devil’s arrows…

Just a question: The rule of "50 years period needed for canonization after the departure of a believer" was often cited to explain the delay in canonization of Pope Kyrillos VI and other saints. They were very rigid about it. Now, only 42 years…

7'EN OMETHMI AFTONF. You have a noble young heart. You will not be accepted in any monastery until you have finished college / university, so you will have to wait anyways. Ask a seasoned monk about this desire and what to do during the coming …

[quote author=ShareTheLord link=topic=10538.msg164777#msg164777 date=1369327061] Lord have mercy. We are all offcourse entitled to our opinions. This is definitely an important subject and needs to be addressed despite it’s sensitivity. I will urge…

I will just ignore Remnkemi like I always do because he is a coward and cannot engage in a discussion like a man, and he writes unsubstaintiated opinions suitable for an ignorant man like himself. God help him if his impotence extends beyond his pos…

God will surely deliver His Church from this poison in time as He delivered it from Arianism, etc., and the solution is certainly genuine and full participation in the Divine Liturgy. This fluff can't endure. In 20 years, it will be one more world…

Canon LXV of the Holy Apostles: "If any clergymen, or laymen, enter a synagogue of Jews, or of heretics, to pray, let him be both deposed and excommunicated." The canon should be applied to the priest in the video. Is it also applicable to th…

RO has committed a sin against ecumenism for which there is no forgiveness in this age or in the coming one – he has spoken the truth.

The video is fantastic. It is a proactive step that I hope will bring some fruits.

[quote author=AntoniousNikolas link=topic=10538.msg164609#msg164609 date=1368633887] Ekhristos Anesti! Hello Brothers and Sisters, I just wanted to give you an update: we have not forgotten our project regarding this subject. We are working hard …

The only punishment for sin is death. Do not do it please. You confessed, it is forgiven, and you should come closer to God to see His glory and despise sin and its filth. Metonias are a great spiritual exercise in any other time but the Holy 50…

The normal person comes to a job and thinks of the pay, the job security, the terms, and so on. The priest completely gives that up. No, priests do not give up the salary, terms, and so on, and they should not. The laborer is worthy of his wages. A …

The UN estimates that 70,000 people have been killed in this stupid civil war. It is not stupid. It is calculated. It has a purpose and there is a genius plan behind it. Evil genius, maybe, but still genius.

[quote author=Severian link=topic=14347.msg163962#msg163962 date=1364173090] This hagiography is undoubtedly fictional. It is not at all mentioned in the minutes of the acts of the council, and to the best of my knowledge no contemporary historian m…

Matters of theology are not confirmed in our dreams, and disputes in Christology are not resolved by demonic apparitions or satanic visions, and heresies do not became the standard faith because of fairy tales invented by Leo, himself a heretic. …

Yet, on the other hand, if the bishops are diocesan, this will decrease the authority of the Pope + general bishops in the Synod, which is a good thing. When a bishop is responsible for 5 churches, he is really a khori epscopos or a senior hegomen …

Stavro, you give the example of Giza: that is about to be subdivided because it is too big. Too big for the Spirit? If a paralyzed metropolitan, who has lost the ability to take care of himself let alone a diverse diocese, was able to let the Spir…

Hi Orthodoxy, thank you for your comment and the clarification. It makes more sense to have a diocese from Mississauga to Vancouver. However, Anba Gabriel is quoted to have said that Anba Mina will be only responsible for the two cities. The nu…

According to Anba Gabriel, Bishop Mina to be seated in Canada for Mississauga and Vancouver only. These are not geographically connected cities and are about 4500 km apart. Will he be ordained for the Wild West from Mississauga to Vancouver, or jus…

Canada has about 50 churches, which would make Canada a decent sized diocese in terms of number of churches. Anba Mina has the Canadian passport and has been connected in rumors to variable assignment within Canada. Is anything confirmed yet by th…

Cairo was built in second half of the 10th century, by the Fatimite Khalif El-Muez LeDin Allah (later baptized in the monastery of Abu Seifen after the Mukatam miracle). It was built in place of existing "cities" like El-Fustat and El-Kata'3, which…

Saint Demiana is a great saint. Her life on earth is a true testimony to the work of the Spirit in the believer. Her life in Heaven is an example of the great support we can receive from other members of the Body of the Lord. She is very respons…

RO to the rescue again. Wonderful post. The point I'm making is that many of us (myself included) seem to miss the purpose of Orthodoxy: that it is a tool by which we forge a relationship with GOD Orthodoxy is not a tool. Orthodoxy is Christianity.…

A quick note: The kiahk songs are replete with Islamic expressions. It is not so much the language but the concepts. As in example is the expression "youm el 7ashr". "Youm El7ashr " , while it refers to the day of judgement, is more a reference t…
