All I know is that I don't know a lot and that it seems I am going to forever (in this life) going to be considered a bit slow by those who get it. I am trying to understand the positions outlined but it makes my head spin, to be honest. It was so much simpler in the old world: One visible Orthodox Church. Aaaaahhhhhh. To be able to have had St Ignatius of Antioch, or St Pachomios or St Sisoes as my spiritual father, or to at least have been a member in good standing in a parish church in their communion! Then I would not be worrying my sore head so much! I found this video which I watched yesterday which is a study on the canonicity and teaching of Metr. Evloghios. It makes it all so simple and clear, like it used to be in the One True Church of the ancient world. What do you all think about it?
Yep, and with that I'm about done. If this discussion is going to involve appealing to videos by Archbishop Gregory "of Colorado, America, and, well, earth", I think I have really just run out of things to say.
