It feels like a whole lifetime ago….

Father De Young is a complete embarrassment. Everytime he opens his mouth he bounces between arrogance and giving the most vantablack coal takes on theology possible.

“Father” Stephen De Young says it is a sin for English speakers to try to teach about Church Fathers. Says English speakers cannot understand Church Fathers.

It’s so nice seeing zoomer Latinx couples finally getting some representation in film.

The Nestorians fucked up in China, the Orientals failed the Africans and Arabs, and the Orthodox couldn’t do anything about the Mongols

Honestly, Catholicism is the true church due to it being the only one that managed to mass convert the pagans of the world

I don’t like when people embrace irony as a fixture of their personality. It’s noxious to be around, and reflects a level of insecurity towards being genuine about anything.

In as much as the virtuous pagans who preceded Christ point to Him (Plato, Confucius, Buddha, Zoroaster, etc.), they are valuable. But when they become figures worshipped onto themselves, they lose any value they had.

Niggas will turn 25 and immediately become Hunter S. Thompson

Doug Walker’s such a good dude. The Nostalgia Critic’s one of those series you know you’ll always be comforted by when you put it on.

“For God wished women to be smooth and to rejoice in their locks [the hair on their head] alone which grows spontaneously like a horse’s mane. But he has adorned man, like lions, with a beard, and endowed him, as an attribute of manhood, with hairy chests, a sign of strength and rule.” “This, then, the mark of the man, the beard, by which he is seen to be a man, is older than Eve, and is the token of their superior nature.”

- Clement of Alexandria Theologian and Teacher of the Catechetical School of Alexandria, lived 150–c. 215

”And do you not know that you are (each) an Eve? The sentence of God on this sex of yours lives in this age: the guilt must of necessity live too. You are the devil’s gateway: you are the unsealer of that (forbidden) tree: you are the first deserter of the divine law: you are she who persuaded him whom the devil was not valiant enough to attack. You destroyed so easily God’s image, man. On account of your desert—that is, death—even the Son of God had to die. And do you think about adorning yourself over and above your tunics of skins?”

- Tertullian The Father of Latin Christianity, lived 155–245

“Men should not sit and listen to a woman … ‘For it is improper for a woman to speak in an assembly,’ no matter what she says, even if she says admirable things, or even saintly things, that is of little consequence, since they come from the mouth of a woman.”

- Origen Theologian and Greek Father, lived c. 185–c. 254 

In a discussion about why Miriam was punished more harshly than Aaron when they both criticised Moses, Irenaeus states that “both nature and the law place the woman in a subordinate condition to the man.”

- Irenaeus Bishop of Lugdunum (Lyon), Theologian and Heresiologist, lived 130–c. 195

“Why should I further speak of the painful ministrations and services due to their husbands from wives, to whom, before [there were] slaves, God gave the command to serve?”

- St Ambrose Bishop of Milan and Doctor of the Church, lived c. 339–397

“The woman taught once, and ruined all. On this account therefore he says, let her not teach. But what is it to other women, that she suffered this? It certainly concerns them; for the sex is weak and fickle, and he is speaking of the sex collectively.” “God maintained the order of each sex by dividing the business of life into two parts, and assigned the more necessary and beneficial aspects to the man and the less important, inferior matter to the woman.”

- St John Chrysostom Archbishop of Constantinople and Doctor of the Church More banging quotes in this lovely article.

One of the allegations in his 1994 book, The First Directorate: My 32 Years in Intelligence and Espionage Against the West,[8] stated that the death of Sean Bourke, who had helped traitor George Blake to escape prison, was caused by poisoning ordered by the KGB.[9]Another allegation was that the KGB "virtually controlled the Russian Orthodox Church through the blackmail of its many gay priests", according to a review of the book.[10] In a 2015 interview, he named the late head of the church, Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow, as a KGB collaborator.[11] A second edition of the book, published in 2009, provided some additional specifics about some of the cases that Kalugin had discussed only briefly in the first edition.[12]
