That's because you're a Holy Fool. You serve the God-Appointed Emperor by pointing out his extremely few errors and excesses. You are the schizophrenic backbone of Justinian's symphonia. Your first task as Holy Fool is to dress in sackcloth and ashes, and beat your breast in front of your local courthouse or capitol building. You may cease as soon as the president resigns and an Orthodox leader replaces him, thus putting an end to the Time of Troubles. |

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner.  God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament |

Good. With leftists like him, the more the merrier.
Nope. Now that I'm Orthodox, I have to change my facebook's "political views" box to read "Christian Monarchy--- restoration of Basilev/Tsar [it's Constantinople, not Istanbul]". I'm having my name changed to Voivod Tod, I'm just waiting for the papers to go through Awesome. |

We cannot legislate morality by passing laws controlling firearms. The only evil we can combat lies within our hearts. We need stronger laws to protect the moral foundation of society against the evil of gay marriage. |

But my priest told me that I could be an anarchist AND Orthodox at the same time...
That's because you're a Holy Fool. You serve the God-Appointed Emperor by pointing out his extremely few errors and excesses. You are the schizophrenic backbone of Justinian's symphonia. Your first task as Holy Fool is to dress in sackcloth and ashes, and beat your breast in front of your local courthouse or capitol building. You may cease as soon as the president resigns and an Orthodox leader replaces him, thus putting an end to the Time of Troubles. Um, I'm with the Greeks. |

Nick, you better appreciate this amazing turn that this thread has taken.
I would love to see that icon up close.
Trust me, I think Nick and I are having the same thought right about now. Origen Teaching the Saints St. Christopher Cynocephalus Now this . . . Don't forget St. Rumwould of Buckingham. You don't see a lot of Rumwoulds these days. Shame, that. |

It is often a pit stop on the way to Orthodoxy for many. |

Wait, I'm not at the genuine one? The more balanced, joyful people you see at church, the greater your chance of being part of a graceless World "church". If everyone gives you this face when you walk in:  Thou art not far from the truth. |

Nick.....is that a picture of you?  I just asked my priest what it would take to become Orthodox and he said, "$100."* Absolutely in jest. |

And on the Eve of his Feast. How blessed.
One thing I love about those on the Julian Calendar: every two weeks I feel like I'm living an episode of Dr Who. "City of Death"? That's my favorite episode.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_DeathMany years, Nicholas!
Many years indeed! |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.
A hasty quarrel kindles fire,
and urgent strife sheds blood.
If you blow on a spark, it will glow;
if you spit on it, it will be put out;
and both come out of your mouth

Sure. As long as you're a monarchial anarchist... That's how I get away with it. I'm a Communist longing for the restoration of our Tsar here in the Third Moscow. |

I just saw this. Many years! But my priest told me that I could be an anarchist AND Orthodox at the same time... That's because you're a Holy Fool. You serve the God-Appointed Emperor by pointing out his extremely few errors and excesses. You are the schizophrenic backbone of Justinian's symphonia. Your first task as Holy Fool is to dress in sackcloth and ashes, and beat your breast in front of your local courthouse or capitol building. And never forget to compliment him on his new clothes. You may cease as soon as the president resigns and an Orthodox leader replaces him, thus putting an end to the Time of Troubles. The call to repentence never ceases. |
