“Do not despair. One of the thieves was saved. Do not presume. One of the thieves was damned.”
- St. Augustine

Since this debate was on Roman Primacy I assume he would’ve said too that he would need to be convinced that the dogmas of the Immaculate Conception and Filioque were not taught by the Church Fathers.

Hint: they were.

Give me one Church Father who adhered to Modern Orthodox ecclesiology. 🤣

Just go to your local Eastern Rite parish.

🇷🇺 Abortions should be included in mortality statistics—Russian Church rep

Russian society has become too accustomed to legalized abortions, but including abortions in national mortality statistics could help change public perception, believes Maria Studenikina, the head of the Maternity Protection Division of the Russian Church’s Synodal Department for Social Service and Charity.

Studenikina, who also serves as director of the Orthodox Mercy service’s Home for Mothers, agreed that abortions should be officially recognized as the death of a person. The inclusion of abortion data in mortality statistics could also help Russia come out of its demographic crisis, she said, reports RIA-Novosti.

Number Going to Hell

"Out of one hundred thousand sinners who continue in sin until death, scarcely one will be saved."
-Saint Jerome, Father and Doctor of the Church

"The number of the elect is so small — so small — that, were we to know how small it is, we would faint away with grief: one here and there, scattered up and down the world!”
-Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

"So vast a number of miserable souls perish, and so comparatively few are saved!"
–Saint Philip Neri, mystic

“The greater number of Christians today are damned. The destiny of those dying on one day is that very few – not as many as ten – went straight to Heaven; many remained in Purgatory; and those cast into Hell were as numerous as snowflakes in mid-winter.”
-Blessed Anna Maria Taigi, mystic

“Among adults there are few saved because of sins of the flesh. […] With the exception of those who die in childhood, most men will be damned.”
-Saint Remigius of Rheims

Jesus is NOT a nigger.

Stop having your own will and only believe in the will of God.

If it is Gods will for you to become a priest, then you shall become a priest. If it is Gods will for you to become a monk, then you shall become a monk. If it is Gods will for you to be a martyr, then you shall be a martyr. If it is Gods will for you to become a Saint, then you shall aim to become a Saint.

You do not get to choose what God wills for you and what He does not.

Dark day.

An outspokenly pro-life Catholic bishop is calling for the formation of a “new pro-life movement” that refuses to have anything to do with medicines or vaccines derived in one way or another from aborted babies

“We have to make a new pro-life movement,” said Bishop Athanasius Schneider, auxiliary bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, during his February 19 presentation at an online conference hosted by LifeSiteNews titled “Unmasking COVID-19: Vaccines, Mandates, and Global Health.”

Bishop Schneider said that until now, the pro-life movement has been “very meritorious” in raising a united voice against abortion. “But I think there now comes a new time, a new phase, a new period of all pro-life movements to protest, clearly and unambiguously, against abortion-tainted medicines, against the abuse of the body parts of the unborn.”

Schneider’s call to action comes in the wake of revelations about how researchers procure cell lines used in the development of numerous vaccines — including a number of COVID vaccines — from babies who were aborted alive in order to have usable tissue

“The first crime is the murder, the assassination, of the unborn child. Then there is the extraction of the cells – it’s a crime, it’s horrible. And then there is the recycling of these body parts. And then there is the commercialization, and so on. And then there is the fabrication of medicines and the fabrication of the vaccines.”

“These are all connected. You cannot separate them,” he said. “When you take this medicine in your body or this vaccine, you cannot say, ‘Oh, all these evils disappear, and I am very far away [from them all].’ This is not true. You are entering this chain.”

Schneider said that Christians in this new movement should be willing to face “prison” and even “death” rather than receive health benefits derived from the murder of unborn babies
