I thought he was still making videos?
And I do want to point out that I agree that the place for people who are horribly, horribly wrong is within the Church where they can be corrected and grow and learn - it is unfortunate in some sense that people like Matthew Heimbach and the defrocked Matthew Raphael Johnson (who has appeared on Jay Dyer's show, by the way, and regularly comments on his facebook posts, for what little that means) have left the church after their discipline rather than repenting.
I just saw that he still is, they don't look good looking at their titles. hopefully they aren't as bad as they used to be.
Not going to watch a 38 minute video - at which point in there does he say he's been received into the Church?

I listened to the first couple minutes and at that point he does say he converted, but somebody who's knew him at roughly that time said he didn't join at that point and doesn't know if he ever has.I could've sword in that video he says that he is, but I can't find it. I guess I'm wrong - but where is it suggested that he's not a member (at least nominally?)
He started out in the ROCOR, bounced to some fringe schismatic group, got booted from them as well for his racism, and now I'm not sure where he is at all, he's doing something somewhere. Probably still in some fringe.What happened to Matthew Raphael Johnson? I didn't even know he was in the church to begin with, last I heard he some type of old rite church.
Considering who it is I don't have high hopes. I've had people say to me outright that they would never join the church because of people like that.
I guess then show them the St Mary of Paris' of the Church, and remind them which one is on the calendar.
Yea. I often cite her, considering she's my patron saint.
Social media personality mostly. I used to know him on Facebook, but eventually he unfriended me because I called him out on his tendency to fall into conspiracy theories, anti-semitism, and racism.
I have watched nearly all of his videos from the last 3 years within his geopolitics, theology, and philosophy talks and he does seem to fall into a lot of conspiracy. However, I have yet to hear anything anti-semitic or racist from him. His philosophy and theology talks are actually quite spot on. I have to be discerning when hearing about the conspiracies he spouts though.
George Soros and "Jews run Hollywood" conspiracy theories are anti-semitic.

George Soros conspiracy theories are anti-Semitic? So if I criticize the mafia I’m anti-Italian? If I criticize Al Sharpton or Maxine Waters, I’m an anti-black racist? What does concern about Soros and his corruption and sick use of his wealth have to do with Judaism?
I’m personally a believer in an Old Earth considering science confirms such a theory and that the Bible itself is pretty silent on the age of the Earth.so we should be creationist? What sort of creationist; young earth, gap, etc.
Has he written down his argumentation on it, or do you just have this bald statement? I'd be interested in reading the argument (as this is either a trivial statement or an interesting one, depending on what he's trying to make of it).Fr Victor Gorodenchuk, who studied physics at the MIT of Russia, actually used science to show that evolution and old earth are simply conclusions based on assumptions that really can't be proven.
