saw that earlier, it is interesting. although at my parish, we have a ton of women converts as well due to Orthodoxy’s traditional femininity.
Father, what does masculine Christianity vs feminine Christianity mean?

God bless

there is no masculine vs feminine Christianity. there’s just Christianity, which says how men and women were created to be.

In addition to what Fr. Matthew said, which is entirely correct, I would add that traditional Orthodoxy is more masculine and feminine than certain denominations, because those denominations have deviated from traditional Christian values as taught unanimously and uncontroversially by all of Holy Tradition, including Sacred Scripture, Patristic authorities, ancient canon law, the liturgy, and nearly every denomination with the exception of heretical imitation Christian sects of an apocalyptic or Gnostic character, the exact names of which I will not provide, by embracing various forms of sexual deviance and mutilation. Even the Roman Catholic Church is heading off the rails in this respect with Fiducia Supplicans and the stated desires of an apparent majority of German bishops (which is the driving force behind the “Synod on synodality.”)

The decentralized nature of Eastern and Oriental Orthodox means that in the extremely unlikely event that some individual autonomous or autocephalous church embraced Orthodoxy, its leadership could be deposed by a council of other Orthodox churches, or in the case of an autonomous church, by the Holy Synod of the parent church in all probability, and if they failed to step aside or were protected by a government which has embraced perversion of this sort, the church in question would simply cease to be an Orthodox church.
