• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Fr. Josiah On Pornography, and Nick Fuentes

Candace Owens and others have been retired from DW when they criticized Israel. If you want to be a part of that crew you have to tow the Shapiro line.
not true, Matt Walsh doesn’t think we should support Israel the way we do. he and Ben have openly disagreed on Israel.

Thank you, at first read I misunderstood the point you were making.
I watched the first video, unfortunately Fr Trenham did not rebut anything from Fuentes, he quoted portions of the Carlson interview where he agreed with him, repeatedly.
I haven't watched the second, follow-up video yet to see if he corrects this.

100% agreement
gotcha, maybe more clarity after the second video

Wow, how much TAW has changed since 2007.

I can not remember a single time when a thread within TAW has been as politically charged as this. Nor can I remember a time when such a political priest, who has clearly made the culture war and politics his idols, would have been posted in this forum; especially a priest who clearly has Calvinist views on family life. This used to be such a good, peaceful, Coffee Hour-like environment, such a shame.

Fr Josiah Trenham's opinions are strictly that: his own opinions. He does not speak for the entirety of the Orthodox Church. He has caused far more pastoral and spiritual damage than he has been a positive influence.

And that is your opinion. One that I personally do not share.

Perhaps you could share how Calvin's views on the Christian family diverge from the Patristic consensus.
