Re: The Three Strains Within the Historical ROCOR

I actually was thinking along a similar line recently! Im not dead set on this list.

To define the terms in how im using them:

Inconsistent is a group who's actions do not seem to line up with the stance they claim today.

Separatists believe that the ones they separated from are not members of ...

Re: What do the Matthewites believe?

It's a shame that I wouldn't be able to commune, but due to church politics I understand and i dont hold it against anyone. It will be my joy to attend liturgy with your synod in my travels.

It would be great news to see your synods reunite! If it is God's will may it happen soon. Any unity based ...

Re: What do the Matthewites believe?

A few questions if you dont mind. Were you raised a part of this synod or did you join it later and why? Given your best guess how would priests from this synod treat a layman of a different synod visiting their church for example in America, Canada, the UK, Australia, Greece, or Cyprus? I expect to ...

This is one of the best ones I've found. Many of the uses in the Orthodox West were specific to a cathedral, like the Sarum use, the York use, the Braga use ect. And the specific religious order rites mostly come from local cathedral uses. Also of note here ...

Re: Timeline Of When Each Local Western Church Fell From Grace (Great Schism)

Bare minimum there needs to be a distinction between German Italy and Byzantine Italy.

German Italy (1110 Death of Pope Saint Clement III, arguably with a tiny remnant holding on until the death of Gregory VIII in 1137)

Byzantine Italy (1137 The Submission of Naples)

Re: Synodal Condemnation of Ecumenism Pre-1983?



Can you send me the Canon and say which Canon in the Synod of Carthage of 418 it says not to commune with Bishops who dont properly condemn Heretics? It'd be another great Source to share around and have knowledge of.
