I also sometimes look at r/EasternOrthodox, r/EasternCatholic, and r/LeftCatholicism ans the only thing they have in common is it is clear the most important issue facing our planet is jacking off.

Mother Maria of Paris was a beer-drinking, cigarette-smoking, twice-divorcee and leftist poet who became a Russian Orthodox nun. I've read her theological work and it's apparent to me that for her theology and praxis were inseparable...

St. Eusebius of Vercelli was both a Bishop and Martyr and defended the Church against Arianism! Both the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics venerate him. He isn't on the Episcopal Church calendar and probably should be. #wat #catholic #easternorthodox #StEusebiusofVercelli #Anglican

The Episcopal Church doesn't officially venerate St. Carpus. The Eastern Orthodox venerate him on 3/26 and on the Roman Catholic Calendar he shared his day with St. Martin I. He is numbered among the Seventy Apostles. #Anglican #EasternOrthodox #RomanCatholic #Saints #SaintCarpus

The Eastern Orthodox Empire, primarily known as the Byzantine Empire (or Eastern Roman Empire), was a medieval Christian state centered on Constantinople (Istanbul), where the Eastern Orthodox Church served as the official state religion, deeply intertwined with imperial authority. It maintained Roman law, Greek culture, and Orthodox theology from the 4th century until 1453. Eastern Orthodoxy, officially Orthodox Catholic Church, One of the three major branches of Christianity. Its adherents live mostly in Greece, Russia, the Balkans, Ukraine, and the Middle East, with a large following in North America and Australia. The titular head of Eastern Orthodoxy is the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople (Istanbul), but its many territorial churches (including the huge Russian Orthodox church and the Greek Orthodox church) are governed autonomously by head bishops or patriarchs, who must be unmarried or widowed even though lower orders of the clergy may marry. Eastern Orthodoxy also boasts a strong monastic tradition. The separation of the Eastern churches from the Western, or Latin, branch began with the division of the Roman Empire into two parts under Constantine I. A formal break was made in 1054 (see Schism of 1054). Doctrinally, Eastern Orthodoxy differs from Roman Catholicism in that it does not accept the primacy of the pope or the clause in the Western creed that states that the Holy Spirit proceeds from both the Father (God) and the Son (Jesus). The Orthodox church accepts the decisions of the seven ecumenical councils as well as several later ones. It maintains that there are seven sacraments and has a worship service that is theologically and spiritually rich. In the early 21st century, Eastern Orthodoxy had more than 200 million adherents worldwide.

Added some fresh cut wildflowers to the family altar. 😊💖

Since my Nana died, I'm the only one left in the family who still makes and maintains these traditional altars. 😞

Any Anthropologists interested? I'd like to preserve history!

Come join us to pray this Chaplet adapted from Mother Maria Skobstova's Writings. Mother Maria Skobstova was a Russian Orthodox nun who was martyred during WWII in Nazi-occupied Paris. She was also a brilliant theologian.
