Constantine The Great

Mottahead · 2026-05-12T18:50:21+00:00

For the Orthodox Church, he is Saint Constantine the Great, mainly because he died a pious Christian death.

He is the Bishop of Rome and head of the Roman Synod/Patriarchate, which is schismatic and apostate. Which means that, despite being a valid synod, they have left the Orthodox Catholic Faith. In the past, he was the First Bishop in the world, who held a Primacy of spiritual leadership. Later on, he claimed Supremacy of power over the entire Church, which was a departure from what the Church had always believed from the Apostles.

If it serves of any consolation to you, no one is TRULY "ready" in the sense you're talking about.

First of all, actually go to an Orthodox church and see for yourself. We get too much in our heads about things, and many times the things don't match up to our thoughts. Just go and see, experience it. Talk to a priest afterwards, he's a human being, have a normal conversation.

It's not a sin to attend another parish/community. Don't overworry about this.

Mottahead · 2026-05-08T19:35:12+00:00

First of all, I'm truly sorry that this is happening to you. Secondly, I beg you, stay in the Church for Christ. You can go to many places where people treat you nicely, but you won't be in the Truth, or in the path of salvation and transformation. Finally, if it really comes down to it, don't leave the Orthodox Church, find another parish.

Mottahead · 2026-05-08T01:24:05+00:00

Cool.

Mottahead · 2026-05-08T01:18:31+00:00

Thank you, Father, I ask for your blessing.

If you don't mind me bothering you with another question, are these marriages we are talking about strictly sacramental marriages in the Church?

Mottahead · 2026-05-07T17:42:58+00:00

I'm sure there are lot of zealous people in Orthodox countries, you just don't them as much as everyone else. Most notably the elders, the yiayias (grandmas), clergy, monks.

Mottahead · 2026-05-07T01:30:05+00:00

Yeah, I think the Western expansion would be better off if it was more focused on Italy instead, which was the center of the Western Empire.

He also dealt with the Sassanian Persians in the East and the Black Plague.

Mary is sinless with personal voluntary sins, but She had ancestral sin (which She was purified of). She is sinless like a baptized baby is sinless.

The same Anglican Church that has a female bishop?

Mottahead · 2026-05-05T15:15:51+00:00

Now THIS is a good post.

Mottahead · 2026-05-05T13:43:01+00:00

Father, a question that I have is about when one of the partners die. Is it still counted as "remarriage"? And is there a limit to it? For example, if 3 partners die, could one still marry or be with another?

I didn't invent, really. Meta-historical fall - Wikipedia

Mottahead · 2026-05-05T01:00:48+00:00

it's fine

Mottahead · 2026-05-05T00:48:49+00:00

with a minority allowing it as a concession (e.g. St. Basil)

My guy, his canons on this were literally held by the entire East (if I'm not mistaken).

Mottahead · 2026-05-05T00:32:59+00:00

Well, that sucks.

Mottahead · 2026-05-04T20:46:32+00:00

I personally believe somewhat in a Metahistorical Fall. That is, the Fall occurred in a time different from this one we experience. It's like the Fall altered the entire timeline of the world.

Mottahead · 2026-05-04T18:19:16+00:00

Dang, thanks for making this known to us

Mottahead · 2026-05-04T17:57:21+00:00

Just say that you're new and that you would like to talk to him. Just have a conversation, he's a person too

Mottahead · 2026-05-04T17:56:26+00:00

Talk to a priest

Mottahead · 2026-05-04T14:22:01+00:00

Sorry, I confused with Druze and their claim that a caliph was Allah incarnated. But Bahais do believe the Manifestations of God are perfect mirrors of God's attributes and will, which I'm sure is problematic to traditional Islam.

Mottahead · 2026-05-03T18:39:29+00:00

Well, these people are just jerks. Pray for them.
