Welcome back! May God have mercy on your soul.

I don't really have a reason to trust your side of a he-said-she-said battle with moderators on another site, it just sounds like sour grapes. ooooh, those durn liberalists!

Yes, best to avoid such videos.

Oh, certainly, w/r/t the very reverend archpriest Peter Heers. Yes, I was speaking a bit briefly there, obviously there's more to it than "questioning someone's Orthodoxy". As for "liberal", it's not a good label for theological positions in the West, and it's even more off-base to import as a...

I mean this is literally what the other poster was fighting with the reddit mods over, but you can write whatever fan fiction you want about me.
