There are many Orthodox on this forum who are not familiar with the teachings of the Church, but you should really first get to know them before posting your videos otherwise they and others will think you are yet another mindless zealot come to spread a message.

You gotta be careful about us RCs. Be sure to keep garlic around your windows, and a wooden stake close at hand.

I heard you also are afraid of crosses. But only those without a corpus carried around by a girl altar server while singing "Amazing Grace". |

Not sure if that has changed. Hope so. |

This thread started off goofy, but it got me thinking "what if".
What if the change in the Creed had been done the right way resulting in no schism. Would the Catholic Church still be in communion with the Orthodox or would a later problem still caused it?

Well, the filioque did not cause a schism when first introduced. The Photian Schism had other causes as well, primarily the Pope of Rome taking umbrage with the uncanonical deposition of St. Ignatius by the emperor and his replacement with Photios, who was a layman at the time. Later, when the filioque appeared in pope's systatic letter in the early 11th century, his name was not entered into the diptychs, but this didn't appear at the time as a schism over filioque. Polemical arguments at the time covered filioque with other things, but communion appears to have continued in large part. The major problem was papal supremacy. But even this wasn't a pressing issue until 1100, when the Crusaders, with no objection from the pope, replaced the Patriarch of Antioch with a Latin after capturing the city. |

It was much easier when we just had to watch out for just Augustine, but now all of you? Instead of a wooden stake would you take a nice ribeye and leave us alone? |

You would do well to be more concerned about the scourge of the Moslems than of the innovative teachings of the Roman Catholics. While Eastern Orthodoxy may have theological disputes with Catholicism, the Catholic Church is not a bastion imposing evil upon the world. "Kill them with the sword," were the last words of the Moslem Prophet, a pedophile, his comments said in connection with his command to his followers to persuade non-Moslems to convert to his hearsay, as to those who refuse to convert to it. |

Among other things, the video speaks of the several Orthodox condemnations of the Gregorian calendar. So according to the teaching on this video with regard to the calendar, does this mean then that any Christian, not just Roman Catholics, who observes the New Calendar date of Christmas as December 25 is anathematised, condemned, and eternally damned? I don't see anything about the Julian calendar mentioned in the Bible. Is this a teaching from apostolic times, or was this a novel teaching that developed over time in the Eastern Orthodox Church? |

It was not only the Orthodox but Protestants too who objected in the past to the Papal calendar innovation. Indeed there were riots here in England when it was eventually introduced with the populace demanding back their 11 days. Even in my lifetime I heard reference to Old Christmas from English folk who no idea about Eastern Orthodoxy. The calendar, the liturgical and festal unity that went with it was a sanctification of time. |

The Byzantine Church could tolerate no difference. The Council of Trullo for example condemned each and every difference they could find with the Armenians and, to a somewhat lesser extent, the Latins. Either the Latin Church would have been Hellenised and Byzantinised or the schism would have happened anyway, even if the Latins would have given up Papal Supremacy. |

Lol - Augustin is his own person, but the other two are one and the same guy. They say that people started calling him "Dracul" (the devil < draco = dragon in Romanian), because he went over to the side of the devil ("s-a dat cu dracul"). He was also a member of some chivalresque society called the "Order of the Dragon". Pray that Augustin doesn't follow in his footsteps! |

Vlad II was known as Vlad Dracul. His son, Vlad III was known as Dracula.
It appears that the more luridly evil accounts of Dracula derive from his enemies.

Vlad II was known as Vlad Dracul. His son, Vlad III was known as Dracula.
It appears that the more luridly evil accounts of Dracula derive from his enemies.
Sorry, you're right - Dracula is actually supposed to come from "Drăculea" (~Dracul Jr). "Prâslea" (the same suffix) is "Junior", or the "little one" in Romanian folk tales. Vlad II Dracul and Vlad III the Impaler or "Drăculea" are indeed different persons. I think it was the father who turned Catholic. Anyways, it turns out that his son was not entombed at the monastery of Snagov - the tomb was opened and there were only some horse bones inside... |

Wait Vlad Dracul was called Dracul because he became Catholic?

More likely because he joined the Order of the Dragon. The theory is that in the eyes of the people he was "of the devil" (al dracu'). The play on words is tempting. But it's not necessarily bad or an insult if you call someone that in Romanian - it can just mean smart or capable, not easily defeated. |

I think Vlad Tepesh was Catholic for a while because the ruler of Hungary was, but I do not remember if he was Catholic or Orthodox by the time he kicked the bucket.  This site gives his religion as Roman Catholic. http://www.nndb.com/people/439/000113100/ |
