Goes online and orders ten 'Orthodoxy or Death' t-shirts to show off at Liturgy

I mean, I hear some Churches are starting this new thing called "orthodoxros" or something, not sure what it's about. But you have to go, like, 20 minutes before Liturgy even starts. Who's gonna do that? I'm sleeping in as long as I can on Sunday! Gotta be rested up for football later in the day, know what I'm saying? |

Your first one about the Birthday made me chuckle. Both my paternal grandfather and my wife's maternal grandmother were born on Christmas Day in Austria-Hungary - December 25 OC January 6th on the New Calendar - back in the 19th century before the OC slipped another day. I wonder how Herman would handle that one! lol.... He'd probably 'hyper'-ventilate! |

I think the labels on those two are the wrong way around, except "recently immigrated to" should be "was born and raised in". |

Being hypderdox myself, it is fair to mention that St. Augustine of Hippo did correct many of his errors in his later 'Retractions' book and that most of his writings may have been misinterpreted and used in a way different than what he originally meant by Anselm's interpretation of them. Other than that, he still was a great man who loved the Church more than anything and is an inspiration to me; even if he made theological errors all the time.
Anyway, what would you gents say is the most complex, largest most confusing book/volume in all of the Orthodox Church? I think I know but I cannot remember the name of it. No, not scripture.
