    Periods on Wedding Day and the PILL

    Save your soul and your future children - tear up that prescription and throw it in the trash! Btw, your fiance's bragging about impregnating you on the wedding night has NOTHING to do with whether you'll get pregnant or not - he has no more control over whether you get pregnant than the kind...

    Icon of the Church (or How to Make Michael Want to Claw Out His Eyes)

    A mistranslation from Greek. Some folks have read a "special meaning" into saying writing rather than painting, but saying "paint an icon" is totally correct, whereas saying "write an icon" is not somehow "more correct", it just flushes out armchair linguists by making them cringe.

    Icon of the Church (or How to Make Michael Want to Claw Out His Eyes)

    I always loved that drawing. I wish I could get a copy of it to hang on my wall. Anyway, very nice work on your icon. Go St. Nicodemus!

    Russia protects its citizens from false-religion:

    YES we do know it for a fact. He had to renounce the true faith and join the Church of England in order to marry Elizabeth. He is no one to admire.

    Russia protects its citizens from false-religion:

    Prince Philip is an APOSTATE. He abandoned the true faith and eternal glory in favor of a false religion and temporal glory. As for Prince Charles, visits to Mount Athos do not constitute reception of the Orthodox faith. Spinning a chotki on your wrist and hobnobbing with metropolitans...

    Russia protects its citizens from false-religion:

    I think it's sleazy and abominable for heretics to encourage Orthodox people to apostasize, but nobody is going to think the Orthodox faith is anything worth joining voluntarily if we have to rely on civil force and intimidation to keep sheep in the fold. It makes no sense to invoke freedom of...

    Prayer request

    Just wait until it's a good time for you and your child to go, and then head on over. It sounds like he's trying to give you the maximum opportunity to meet with him by not holding you to a specific time.

    On CNN they said that Paris finished it in four takes, and did it from memory (no cue cards). :)

    Catechism.. commence!

    Glory to God! :clap: I hope you'll be received as a catechumen when His Eminence DMITRI is there, since he was a teenage convert himself. :)
