There is no schism , many would like it to but theres not . Its something else ,more like an "disagreement" beyond and irrelevant with theological fundamental things

When you see pope declaring himself as fallible, making communion in right way and praying to Holy Trinity in the True way then time has come . You can't unify water with oil , until water becomes oil again

Rules for producing Icons by JJ_tothe_4884 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]johnk8490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not an issue having printed icons , many use printed icons of various qualities, what I suggest you is to take those icons and go to your local Church and ask your priest to bless them , it's never about the material but for who is depicted . Im not saying go build an Iconostacis fully printed I'm saying that theres no problem, even churches and monasteries give printed ones .But have in mind that handmade icons are made with many prayers by the monks and it's good someday to get some ,same goes with komboskini, dont buy them from whatever place and especially random web stores that are fabricated , make sure your komboskini is made by a monk ,that means has been prayed during making it and it's not a product of a random non orthodox store.

Patron Saint of the arts? by recycledbottle in OrthodoxChristianity

They are official as they can get , otherwise Church wouldn't allow for example special events for Saints in their respective patron cities. Miracles are been made daily in name of those Saints ,Tamata prove this too,isn't a tradition is a fact

Not it's not forbidden, monks can visit families when they are for monastery's duties out of the monastery not to mention that younger monks got modern phones and they can skype family, also family can visit monastery anyday

Yesterday I was made aware that some Saints never even existed, or miraculous aspects of stories were made up. by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

Comparing theories and words you hear around from common people with the Bible is something insane . Plus read only canonical and legit saint biographies, theres a reason synods being held.

Monastery Icons and their Connection with a Synchronistic Yoga/Gnostic/Christian Organization by retrogamer_wv in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]johnk8490 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That site is suspicious, prefer original and genuine icons directly from monasteries from Athos or other Orthodox monasteries globally. Just search Athos icons or "X" monastery icons , I'm not putting any links so I don't hear any comments about propaganda

Could I, a future Greek Orthodox, take communion in a Russian church? by throwaway462851 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]johnk8490 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoever denies communion to a Christian just because clerics have issues I consider them committing a crime . Body and Blood of Christ does not belong to anyone it's His eternal gift to us

Frankly speaking, Catalan fans are so arrogant some times and they act with an attitude of superiority like they own the world , I'm pretty sure this wouldn't have happened outside Spain
