@Michael__Garten discusses the 'early icons' at the world's oldest church & describes how their use goes beyond mere decorative & didactic purposes (Full Interview)
I'd prefer no phones but the 'Wisephone' would be much better. It can make phone calls & has apps as tools but no social media, web browser, email, or filth. This is the phone I use daily. wisephone.com/king ($40 bucks off through my discount code)
Well this is depressing (from a forthcoming review of Paul Kingsnorth's new book)
Metropolitan Saba desires to raise up more deacons for parish life. Thoughts on how this could look? "Some parishes consist of enormous numbers of families and are cared for by only one priest! One of our parishes in Montreal has 1,565 families – not individuals – and one…

It is saddening that Pope Leo's actions so far are in harmony w/ Francis'... A few weeks back, Cardinal Fernandez stated that same-sex blessings (w/ its noted 'hyper-scholastic' distinctions) will stay on the books per Leo. The 'priest', James Martin, will continue his publicized…
On Sept 6 an LGBT Vatican Jubilee will go ahead. Organizer told New Ways Ministry that “Pope Francis’s support for the initiative was vital,” in reference to temporary removal of event from the Vatican calendar- newwaysministry.org/2025/07/22/why… @LifeSite background:…
According to @JoshuaTCharles, (see his graph below) Orthodoxy is hardly holding it together while Roman Catholicism is united & solid. However, a Catholic academic friend confineded in me that he believed me when I said, "100 yrs from now, we will know what Orthodoxy will look in…

Dr. Edith Humphrey: C.S. Lewis "wasn't a Sola Scriptura Christian" and embraced a method to Scripture & the Fathers much closer to an Orthodox approach.
A comment on my recent video: "As an OO....this is where we agree with our EO brethren. This whole Papist idea that autocephalous is equal to Protestant ecclesiology is such a spit on the historical faith." youtu.be/Spid-ALx3pA

Some RC apologists ( @SipsWithSerra @RealEricMcCabe ) have stated that Orthodox ecclesiology of self-governing churches is like the division & fragmentation of Protestantism. The problem is that self-governing churches appear within the history of the Church & was even protected…

I think you are right on this, but tell that to some high up cardinals as well... Cardinal Hollerich stated, “But I would actually say no. Shortly before the synod, there was a ‘dubia’ from a few cardinals. They asked whether John Paul II’s rejection of the priesthood of women…
Pope St. John Paul II declared that the Church has taught in an infallible and irrevocable manner that women cannot be priests. Thus, if the Church were to reverse this teaching, that would (obviously) falsify Catholicism, since she can hardly ever claim to teach infallibly and…
Some RC apologists @RealEricMcCabe (Catholic Christian) have referred to Orthodoxy as fragmented like Protestantism & so this is a good reminder...
"There are no doctrinal or faith-based principles in the Antiochian Church that differ from those of other canonical Orthodox churches. Theology, faith, doctrine, spirituality, and liturgy are unified across them all." -His Eminence, the Most Reverend Saba Isper, Archbishop of…

I actually think @elonmusk is sounding more like C.S. Lewis' Weston as each day goes by... (the anime grok girl thing that he says could assist with procreation only aided that theory)... Brian Shepherd helps us see more connections... brianshepherd.substack.com/p/cs-lewis-elo…

A version of the same prayer is also found in the ancient hymns of Jerusalem!
Face to face marital intimacy in a life long covenant open to children is significantly greater than Tate's harem. Our Lord, who breathed reality into existence, also taught us this (Matthew 19)
I’ve been married for almost 15 years. I have six kids. You say I’m not qualified to criticize polygamy because I haven’t tried it. I also haven’t tried cannibalism or human sacrifice or any other primitive jungle tribe practice. Meanwhile you’ve never been married and yet you…
Tomato season in Indiana! Saint Euphrosynos, pray for us! oca.org/saints/lives/1…


Prayers for healing! Trent and Laura are a wonderful couple & this is some of the most difficult news a family can receive. I remember meeting Trent 7 years ago now, & he was very kind and conversational w/ me as we discussed 'theosis' at the Catholic Answers conference booth.
Please please storm heaven with prayers for Laura Horn who was just diagnosed with brain cancer. Pray. Jesus we trust in You.
