1. New video coming out soon – a review of 'A Dark Song'

2. I love that a simple monk is the instrument of God in selecting the Patriarch. What a wonderful process.

3. 2:08 why a Quija board?

4. Oh wow! I thought the Copts were unique in electing their Patriarch by electing 3 candidates and then after a liturgy picking the next one through raffle. A Greek guy even made fun of this method before me once. Cool that the Serbs have essentially the same system

5. This is like that one video from CGP Gray.

6. Did…did you say ass-embly, intentionally?

7. Поздрав из Србије!
   Након смрти нашег Иринеја, занимало ме је како ће се тачно одвијати избор новог патријарха.
   Хвала на разјашњењу.

8. Thoughts on BATUSHKA band?

9. ☦️☦️☦️

10. I know this is late, but my condolences to you and Serb people everywhere at the passing of your Patriarch. Pray that his successor will be just as zealous as he was!

11. you should do a video talking about how each jurisdiction does it

12. I love how you peppered the video with subtle bishop trolling. Particularly the hanged angel one 😀

13. for me, patriarch irinej is a saint because his stubborn refusal to allow COVID to change the serbian church taught me what true faith is. i'll never forget him

14. f

15. Correction: The Title of the Roman Pope is Vicarius Christi and not Vicarius Feli Dei

16. I'm sorry you lost your Patriarch and I pray for repose of his soul and that God helps you choose a good new Patriarch soon. I'm RC but enjoy learning more about EO on your channel.

17. For 500 years they haven’t given Serbia peace. When will it end.

18. I am not orthodox, but I really like that in the elections, god has the last word.

19. If there is an issue with serbians working alongside kosovars, and the church has been operating out of Belgrade, why not just make Belgrade the new center of the church? Serbians can still visit kosovo peje/pech and see the old church still, and having the head of your church in a mainly islamic community seems to be not a great spot, as well as not being nearly as accessible as belgrade.

20. You have such a beautiful voice and accent. I love hearing your videos.

21. 2:13
    Angel: suicided
    Demon: "Why do I have to be the voice of reason here?!"
    Monk: "And chosen … why do I have a feeling something is terribly wrong?"

22. You gave him green eyes like mine!

23. Sorry for the loss to Serbia. I liked to listen to Patriarch Irinej. His memory eternal!

24. Eternal memory, and may you all soon shout with joy 'axois', God willing.

25. Nice illustration of the passed bishop

26. growup

27. This method of election is quite new, actually. Started in 1990, as an attempt to avoid political meddling from the Communist Party.

28. Many years to Patriarch Porphyry!

29. God, through his blessed servant Irinej, brought me away from agnosticism. I could not hear him, read his words, or even see pictures of him without feeling the piercing truth that what Irinej spoke of was true. A stern yet loving disciple of Christ whose Blessed Memory shall be Eternal. Thank you Patriarch Irinej for shepherding the lost, whether they were seeking or not.

30. Good, what happens if He voluntarily resigns , if chosen, then go with a choice between the other two envelopes, and if all resign, then repeat it or what ?
    And is that standard procedure for all the church, , where is it taken, that you claim it is biblical ?
