    Vatican Takes Step to Absorb Orthodox Church

    The Serbian Orthodox parish in Trieste, Tempio della SS. Trinità e San Spiridione Taumaturgo, is absolutely stunning if you ever have the chance to visit it.

    Holocaust Denial

    A lot of people you will find, especially in certain circles, will move towards these extreme views and groups due to the very fact that certain events in history, like the Holocaust, are seen as untouchable by mainstream historians. I remember one history professor of mine saying he had a...

    Redemption of Satan??

    St. Martin of Tours stated something like "If thou, thyself, wretched being, wouldst but desist from attacking mankind, and even, at this period, when the day of judgment is at hand, wouldst only repent of your deeds, I, with a true confidence in the Lord, would promise you the mercy of Christ"...

    Russia calls halloween "cult of death"

    No idea, but in a good deal of European countries, 10 years go, no one celebrated it besides immigrants. In Italy, it is even starting to influence November 2nd celebrations. People who don't like it... blame Americans, but that is common for most things, LOL.

    The Orthodox Church in America

    Romans 13:1-5 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a...

    America's Saber Rattling with Russia

    Yup, but they are planning on building it in Central Europe which is seen as the US trying to expand its influence into Central and Eastern Europe. It is time for the US to pull out of Europe for good. Europe can defend Europe. All a missile defense system in Central Europe will cause is an...

    Black or grey?: condition of unbaptized

    Here is an article that helped me out when I was first looking into Orthodoxy and about Original/Ancestral sin. It isn't too long, you should be able to get through it quickly. :) http://romanity.org/htm/rom.10.en.original_sin_according_to_st._paul.01.htm It has probably been posted before...
