Hey /pol/

I'm currently considering converting to Orthodoxy. I'm currently a Roman Catholic, and the blatant disregard of tradition, corruption, and the current Pope has made me desire to convert. I would ideally like a church that respects tradition and is truly Christian in all senses of the word.

All help, tips, etc. are appreciated. Also, if you have any alternatives (e.g. SSPX) feel free to share.

>>75888397
I'm an agnostic currently researching Christianity in general in order to determine if I should adopt it.

While I'm still at the beginning stages and learning constantly, Orthodoxy by far seems the most like what Christianity is really about out of the 4 major traditions. If I do end up becoming Christian I'm pretty sure I'd choose the Orthodox tradition.

My 2 cents anyway.

You should raise them as Asatru. I would argue that Thor and Odin are much better role models than Jesus.

>Thor
+Strong
+Masculine
+Alpha
+Not a cuck
+Honors his family
+Never backs down

Jesus
+Cuck
+Didn't perform miracles
+Basically tells you to back down when faced with opposition

just follow Jesus, and trust Him to forgive all your sins, past, present, and future.

to do otherwise is to trust in your own works and miss the entire point of Faith in Jesus, and why REAL Christianity is the exact opposite of religion.

but, if you deign to trust in your own works, and want to know how that will work out for you, see Matthew 7:21-23

Don't be a fucking faggot and wait like the rest of us for the rule of Francis I the Cuck to end. Everybody knew someone like him was bound to show up the moment the damn 2nd Vatican Council happened. And you know what? That's good, because younger priests and believers are becoming orthodox and traditionalist as fuck. There are a lot of angry, loud voices in the Vatican. You are not alone.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a lesson from God to all of us who whined and complained about the church not being "modern enough". We deserve a Francis I.

It's important not to abandon the faith in times of crisis in the Church. Although there is scandal and things are misrepresented when it comes to the Church, the fact that RCC is One Holy Catholic and Apostolic does not change. What you're proposing is running away from the battle that we need to meet head on. As for "alternatives," there is no real alternative other than Greek Orthodoxy, and I believe that RCC is more true than they are, which is why I choose to stay Roman Catholic, even though modernists have invaded the Church.

Lastly, you should pray resolutely and intently for discernment, and that the Holy Spirit guide you. Best of luck.

Anything other than the RCC and Greek Orthodox Church is a heretical sect lacking apostolic succession. In other words, they have no valid priesthood, which Christ gives to us in order to administer the Sacraments to us.

Joining a Protestant "church" would be like turning away from the shepherd, never a wise decision for us sheep.

Basically holdovers from Protestantism.

Like a lot of people I talk to at my parish are passive Zionists. Not for any theological reason, but they're Republicans and haven't really thought about it.

Or the fact that we exchange the "kiss" of peace as a handshake or a hug rather than a kiss like they usually do in more ethnic parishes.

Everyone at my parish loves C.S. Lewis, which is pretty Protestant.

And we always have bounce houses and face-painting at parish picnics, which is really Protestant.

>>75888397
Blatant disregard for tradition? But you talk about orthodoxy, while they are schismatics that created a monstrosity in order to deny the validity of councils. One of the side effects of that monstrosity is that there are no councils anymore, and that is why orthodoxy is so associated to lack of changes.

Also, do you think all patriarchs and members orf Orthodoxy are perfect? How many of them try to limitd orthodoxy to a border? How many of them are LARPers who don't understand Orthodoxy, like you, but "convert" without even knowing what it is?

Also, what do you think would happen to Orthodoxy if the number of orthodox increased to the same level as catholics? Do you really think the same wouldn't happen?

I really doubt you know what being truly Christian in all senses of the word is. Someone who asks "should I abandon the truth so that when I read news that make me cringe the people in those news are associated to other group?" doesn't really care about the truth, but about an easier life.
>>
>>75892179

This board houses a very specific personality type and probably isn't a good representation of the general populace. A lot of us are LARPing but the truth of the matter is that we're concerned that the Pope is abandoning traditional church doctrine in order to pander to degenerates. We'll use hyperbole to emphasize our distaste but most real Catholics aren't going anywhere and it would take a lot more than an unpopular Pope to get us to leave.

In short, because those are the only Churches that can claim Apostolic authority, that has descended from the promise of Christ to St. Peter. No, other "orthodox churches" are not actual churches in the sense that the RCC or Greek Orthodox are actual Churches promised to us by our Lord. For a longer explanation, see this article: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/01641a.htm

>Read 2 lines higher.

ok, we'll start at verse 15:

>15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.

i'm not sure what you intended to imply by these verses. would you consider yourself a "good" tree, or a "bad" tree?

before answering, let me remind you of this exchange:

>18And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God.

Luke 18:18-19

so, my advice is:

>4Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

John 15:4

BUT, if you don't take my advice... if you trust, even in some small way, in YOUR OWN works, remember the verses initially quoted:

>22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many WONDERFUL WORKS?

>23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

sooooo........ your decision.

Whatever, I'm just clarifying in case someone might get confused. Also, a lot of headway has been made with the Eastern and Oriental divides. In a way they're deeping theologically than the divides between Orthodox and Catholics, but there are interesting linguistic and historical reasons for the apparently differing theologies, and the Bishops have been speaking more directly about them.

I think there will be a clarification, and possible reunification of at least some Orientals with Easterners before Orthodoxy and Catholicism every come back together.

You are Catholic and there's literally no reason to be Catholic. Not even if Lucifer himself is made Pope.

Now, if you ask about alternatives to the modernist heresy that has corrupted the 90% of the church, these are you alternatives, in order:

1) SSPX or similar communities. Period. They are actual Catholics.
2) Moderate modernists (a.k.a. "conservatives"). Their mass (novus ordo) it's still valid. I'm not sure whether or not it may be sacrilegical. But moderate modernist tend to do their Novus Ordo Mass as respectfuly as possible, some even in latin and Ad Orientem (but its weird). Also they usually believe in Confesions and you need that.
3. Orthodoxy. They are Catholics too and their have true sacraments. I'm not sure if you could have toe Communion with them without breaking with the Catholic church. You don't wanna do that.
4. Stay in home, pray the Liturgy, Rosary, read the Scriptures. Watch Holy Mass on sundays on the Internet (Old Rite, of course).

Yeah that's pretty much. Remember, Christ is the One who saves. You don't need to worry too much you've got options to remain Catholic and faithful.

Well if you heard the good news - then there's only one Church - there can't be even two churches, let's not speak about the thousands of them world wide.. every person feels like reinterpreting what Jesus says and gets some followers - mainly for profit.

Only only Apostolic Church in which Holy Spirit still works today is orthodox Church.

Every year - the miracle of Holy Light happens on orthodox easter in an orthodox Church - and in the day Jesus was baptized - every year the Jordan river changes its flow.

You might try this. Maybe you could find another sources too. The Old Mass has become very popular in the last decade.

Also it would help to buy a old rite breviary or looking for it on the internet, and learn how to follow it daily. Its something meant for priest and monks but seculars are also encouraged to use it.

Man, don't fool yourself. We should have let the Ottomans win Lepanto and conquer them all. Protestant problem solved. Maybe they would have returned to the Faith repented at some point. Whatever.

Don't look at Europe, they've lost the Faith centuries ago. It's not worth. Maybe France can at some point be rescued, but it would need a miracle and they still hold too much to their "revolutionary" values. Pray. The rest is lost.

This year the Holy Light miracle was more intense than other years - lots of people seen blue sparks that ignited their candles, especially people that were far from the focal point where miracle happens.

And the river one - orthodox priests - throw a cross in Jordan river - pray and then the river suddenly changes its flowing direction - the cross starts to go the opposite way alongside all objects that floated and you can feel the current change if you're in the water.

This miracle happened first for John the baptist to know that Jesus is the son of God, it stayed with us as a sign of mercy from God - and maybe to make unbelievers approach Him.

It's also stay as a sign of end times - when both miracles stop in the same year it means the end times have started.

>non denomination

There is no "non denominational" Not accepting some things as dogma already turns you into a denomination. You reject tradition, so you reject any legitimacy in favor of heresies.

The purest form of Christianity is the one that is true, not the one that tries to deny the Truth of the dogma.

I will also remind you that the canon of the Bible is a 600AD tradition. Also, you say "just Christ and scripture", but you talk about a pastor, and a Church, hypocrite.

The general teaching (as I understand it) is that sex is for procreation and procreation alone, but, I'm not 100% sure if your church has an official :"stance" or if any church really has a stance on it.

For me, oral in church teachings is a bit of a gray area.

I don't know if you're pretending to be Catholic or you're from some sect. But theologic morals behind sex doen't teach that all sex MUST be donde in order to procreate. It says you shouldn't avoid procreation.

If you or your wife, for example, are sterile or are in a situation when you know you cannot concieve, it's not against chastity to have sex.

Start by opening your heart and looking for Jesus. Start by talking to Jesus; He's not deaf or far away. He can hear you. Read the bible, read the Book of John, see what His best friends had to say about Him. See what He said about Himself.

If you seek Him, you will find Him.
If you knock, the door will be opened to you.
If you ask, He will save you from the consequences of your sins.

I don't think you understand. You can't "prove" that what you consider to be proof of something is actually something valuable that should be accepted.

Yes, you create an arbitrary fantasy based on what you want.

>I dont delegate my actions or beliefs on anything external to me
You do. The difference is that,while I worship the Truth and God, the alpha and the omega, etc etc, you worship arbitrary things. You are a hypocrite. You just are too stupid to see how it is YOU who really fits into the descriptions you give.

Reflect my own self? My own self is external, any other thing makes no sense. So what you say about not delegating on anything external to you does not make sense.
