    Seriously?!?!?!?

    This is terrible, but is it really charitable to post it here when it relates to the RCC?

    Some Hopeful News for a Change, Church rapidly growing out in Utah!

    Absolutely! We need American converts in order to grow the faith here in the Americas! Too long have we been shut in our little Orthodox ethnic bubbles. The Mormons and the Heterodox put our missionary and outreach efforts TO SHAME!

    Utah Mormons, Protestants finding new spiritual home in ancient Orthodox church "That certainly is the case for Sts. Peter and Paul Orthodox Christian Church in downtown Salt Lake City. The Rev. Justin Havens says the church, located in a former Jewish synagogue at 355 S. 300 East, had fewer...

    I love this new trend in the "skeptic/atheist" community

    Exactly my thoughts. There are so many apathetic people that have turned away from Christ due to the watered down Protestant religion they have been exposed to, coupled with the seemingly endless scandal that plagues the Roman Catholic Church, and the modernizing forces within the RCC that are...

    Russia To Build Multi-million Dollar Patriarchal Mansion

    Not going to lie, this is pretty bad optics for a Church that is already viewed by many as corrupt and an arm of the Russian government, whether the perception is true or not. Remember though, the Patriarch had a palace in Constantinople as well

    Is the Orthodox Russian Church in cahoots with Putin?

    Yes. As sad as it is. If Patriarch Kyril spoke out against Putin, we would probably have a situation similar to what happened to our father among the Saints John Chrysostom, when he spoke out against Empress Eudoxia. St. John was exiled, twice. I don't presume to judge our Hierarchs, but Church...

    New Orthodox schism stalls eucumenical dialogue, Vatican official says

    I can see no end to this schism until the next Patriarch of Constantinople is enthroned, whenever that may be. God willing, he will reach out to Russia. Realistically, it is not going to happen though. On the Russian side, things probably aren't going to change any time soon. Putin and his...
