    The Fascinating World of Eastern Orthodox Old Calendarists

    Old Calendarists are those Eastern Orthodox who regard the use of the Gregorian or Revised Julian Calendars to be heretical, and also regard ecumenism to be heretical, indeed, they are more opposed to ecumenism than to the Gregorian and Revised Julian Calendar, as these were implemented to bring...

    Beautiful churches, vestments, sacred music and liturgies

    There have been some unpleasant threads lately for those of us in the Traditional Theology community, and it occurred to me it might be quite nice to invite my friends who participate in this forum, who include but are not limited to @MarkRohfrietsch @public hermit @concretecamper @prodromos...

    A question to Roman Catholics about Purgatory

    I notice that in the Roman Catholic Catechism Matthew 12:32-36 is used as evidence to support forgiveness of sin in the age to come which refers to after this world. Here’s a quote directly from the Catechism. The tradition of the Church, by reference to certain texts of Scripture, speaks of a...

    The Catholic Response to "The Church: Towards a Common Vision"

    Hello, so a Roman Catholic Friend of mine found this document from the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity to the World Council of Churches.

    Conversing with Catholics

    I was talking to a Roman Catholic the other day and I felt myself getting annoyed because this person was telling me things about Revelations that are wrong. For example, saying that the book of Revelations is what the Catholic mass is based on? What? I left behind the Catholic faith. I...

    Catholics Becoming Protestant

    Authority in the Christian Church

    I have spent a lot of time discussing theology with Roman Catholics, since I was born and raised Roman Catholic but have left that faith on account of their doctrine and dogma. Thus, that brings me to a few questions that I have been reflecting on for a while now. During these discussions with...

    Today, June 22 (Baounah 15): the return of the relics of St. Mark the Apostle to the Egyptian Church

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the one God. Today is a great day in modern Coptic Orthodox history, and since it directly involves also the Roman Catholic Church, I figured I should share it with you guys here on OBOB. From the synaxarium of the Coptic Orthodox...

    A little something light to make you smile: Abp. Fulton Sheen on "What's My Line"

    I was going to post this in another thread that is currently going about Abp. Fulton Sheen, but I thought it probably deserves its own thread in the Catholic area of the website, rather than General Theology, where the other thread is. Anyway, I was just browsing YouTube and found this...

    The Pope calls the world to defy God!

    The Pope has, once again, declared his opposition to God’s will, and command, as clearly stated in Scripture. This is demonstrated in his present call for a worldwide abolition of death penalty. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-pope-capitalpunishment-idUSKCN0VU0GH The Bible, which is God’s...
