You could say that the “Orientel Orthodox” didn’t exist yet until the 1965 Addis Ababa Conference. You just got individual churches in isolation, that that schismed and departed from the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church (Eastern Orthodox).

Apparently, there is a 17 minute stream on books for Roman Catholics considering Orthodox Christianity. I read Deus Caritas Est and got to the part where Pope Benedict XVI said that the Eastern Orthodox Church had all valid sacraments but had a permanent defect because they reject papal authority and realized if you have the Eucharist (Jesus Christ) you can’t be defective. We converted that year.

“From this day, from this hour, from this minute...” — St. Herman, again. The best day to begin was years ago. The second-best time is this minute.

An Orthodox priest communed tuberculosis patients using the same Holy Spoon,then consumed the remaining Gifts himself.He feared no disease,trusting Christ’s Holy Mysteries.The Eucharist is not ordinary food, but the Body and Blood of Christ,given for the healing of soul and body.

Men are twice as likely to ace SAT math, yet women are twice as likely to get in to MIT. Put differently, 1 in 3 men who worked their ass off to get into MIT lost their seat because they were born the wrong gender.
17,000 men apply to MIT 8900 women apply to MIT 600 men were accepted 612 women were accepted If we assume male and female applicants to MIT are roughly the same, the probability this happens by chance, let alone every year for a while The probability of a sex blind admission process creating this result is 1 in 4 × 10³¹

NEW: Red Baron Pizza insinuates that 'Walt Z,' the Red Baron worker who went off on an influencer who harassed him in a store, has been named Employee of the Month. "He’s still here. He’s got a fan club. Including us," @redbaronpizza announced. Over $325,000 has been raised for the struggling, hardworking Michigan father of four.

Russia has won the war. The Western gambit to use Ukraine as a battering ram to defeat Russia has failed. Trump’s belated shuttle diplomacy is just window dressing to distract from the growing realization that Russia has achieved a historic victory over NATO and its proxy army. NATO’s threat to Russia will no longer be tolerated. Russia has successfully fought off sanctions and the combined forces of NATO, as the Europeans squandered billions supporting Zelensky’s military regime. And Russia has taken back Novorossiya, the four Eastern oblasts that Lenin extrajudicially incorporated into the Ukrainian Soviet Republic. Sooner or later, for the sake of their economies, the Europeans will have to come to terms with Russia and resume normal, mutually beneficial relations. After many years of zero diplomacy, the Finnish and Norwegian leaders initiated a call to Putin - possibly heralding a new era of peace in Europe.
