Blessings, Thank You for this Gem.
His Eminence makes too much sense.
Hmmm sounds very Catholic to me. Maybe he spent too much time at Marquette.
I think it's also a fact that the Patriarch of Moscow is blessing tanks. This virtuously pacifistic Shepard wants to sell all the sheepdogs and give the money to the poor just as the wolves are pouring in from the steppe. I just feel better knowing the Orthodox Church teaches that arms are only blessed in the hands of totalitarian invaders. I do commend the effort to make this a little less obvious by putting this out through a Bulgarian bishop instead of a Russian one. Fooled me.
Thank you for these wonderful interviews! They have been very helpful as I work towards baptism.
I agree that discussing politics stirs up the passions. However, discussing Christianity with non-Christians or with Christians can stir up passions as well. Christ said that he came not to bring peace but a sword. How do you recommend we witness to others about our faith without stirring up our passions?
Wonderful! Thank you!
Globalism & the puppets it owns are non-partisan. Treason and betrayal of the US Constitution is non-partisan. Betrayal of God and His creation is non-partisan. Neither is the spirit of evil that empowers them partisan.
What did Jezus learned you to be part of this corrupt world? Did Jezus start his politic party?
Thank you.
Why orthodox patriarchy failed to stop this war between Ukraine and Russia ? Maybe they dont have power over politices.
Isn't he an Origenist?
Matthew 25 is such an important lesson from Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Wonderful and timely video.
Amen! Your Eminence, thank you for confirming what we have felt from his dark world of politics we are in. Please pray for your spiritual children that they may have the Light of Christ in the Holy Spirit to walk within and rejoice in!
My bishop. A wise, wise man.
when we have the capacity to do good together and instead come together to make doing good harder, society loses its connective bounds and people lose faith in community
