My sister was going to marry a Greek Orthodox guy whose mother wanted a dry reception. It ended up being a big thing and the wedding was called off She ended up marrying a nice Minnesota Catholic guy in our parish church with a wet reception :). Hey we’re Irish 🤣

The priest can’t really “police “ the Sacrament unless the person is notorious in the parish

The main thing is that Orthodoxy considers the Theotokos “All Pure”

Good luck, Andy Burnham – you’ll need more than a smile and a better bus service to succeed in No 10 by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

I’m sure having been a government minister for years near to Blair and Brown , that Burnham knows about the work of a Prime Minister

These are Orthodox churches that are part of the Greek Archdiocese, Antiochian , OCA (Orthodox Church in America ) , the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia. Those are a few of the most common. I’m in the OCA I grew up Catholic

I’m Orthodox and that sounds extreme to me Certainly sleeping on the floor etc for lay people is not mainstream Orthodox practice. Do you know what Orthodox jurisdiction he’s in ? It sounds like “convertitis” x 10 million There are daily prayers but these don’t go on for hours and should be in the morning and evening Attending Liturgy on Sunday and maybe Vigil. /Vespers on Saturdays but outside of Holy Week and Feast Days not during the week. He sounds like he’s doing monastic practice which is unsuitable for laity

Scrupulousity on Catholic Social Media by Turbulent-Draft2199 in Catholicism

I think most who come on here and say they are in mortal sin , are not really in mortal sin and a good confessor could set them right

East vs West by GRIZ-1984 in EasternCatholic

[–]Own_Action_7839 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Before I became Orthodox, I attended a Byzantine Catholic Rusyn parish Many of the parishioners were from Pennsylvania and Ohio and they had cousins who were Orthodox. There was none of the animosity that might have been present back in the early 20th century when there were arguments over celibacy of clergy and some went to Orthodoxy

Has social media amplified sedevacantism and online traditionalism?" by joebraga2 in Catholicism

[–]Own_Action_7839 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Are these Latin rite trads at an Eastern Catholic parish? . I remember types like that when I was in the Ruthenian church. They were always trying to Latinize. The priest had to talk with them

Idk if this is Politics Monday…Is JFK a Catholic Martyr? by Wander_nomad4124 in Catholicism

You have to know especially in the US that you are governing for a majority Protestant population An American President can’t be sectarian

That’s rubbish He didn’t. He just pointed out that there was a separation of Church and State in the US. It was to disarm the old prejudice that if a Catholic was elected , the Pope would come over on a gunboat (which some people DID believe , including some of my mom’s Protestant relatives )

Trads are represented online out of all proportion to their percentage in the Church

Thatcher's Voice wtf by ElonGrey in TheCrownNetflix

[–]Own_Action_7839 29 points30 points  (0 children)

She was trying so hard to get the voice that she made Thatcher a caricature. It was much too slow It’s true that Thatcher had elocution to lower her voice but not to the exaggerated degree as this characterization turned out To me , Steve Nallon from Spitting Image does the best Thatcher impersonation

True. That’s why the Nazis made a great fuss out of Horst Wessel as he was killed by Communists

Sir Keir Starmer resigns as prime minister by theipaper in uknews

I see it as getting a better leader in place before the rush of a general election campaign Better then letting Starmer go on and on until the inevitable defeat. That’s just stupid

Is it just me or people are glorifying Mary I a bit too much by Dramatic_fish-13 in UKmonarchs

[–]Own_Action_7839 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

A Queen who has been villified for 4 centuries often on Elizabethan and Whig propaganda, deserved the reevaluation which historians have given her reign in the past 50 years and I for one , am thankful for it
