    Just a few weeks ago I began going to my local orthodox church. Last sunday the bishop asked us and the whole community to pray for him and the metropolitan.
    Until that day, when i hears him talk in a personal level i felt something sometimes a bit off, but yet he has so much attention for others, eventhough sometimes it looks to me that he might be too harsh, but listening to what this priest said. I just can't imagine what this bishop i knew must be going through all the time...
    May God bless and take care of all christian orthodox priest, may He give them the strength they need.

    May God bless this man. Absolute honey to the ears to hear a priest stand up for truth despite the modern relativism we see. What's the point of becoming Orthodox if it's just another "flavor" of Christianity (God-forbid). I'm not a perfect man nor a saint, but I believe that my God's church is in Orthodoxy, and I'm not willing to compromise.

      What you call "mistakes" amounted to 700,000 Orthodox Serbs being martyred by the Latin heretics under the supervision of the clergy during the WW2. And that is just one out of numerous of your "mistakes" during your alleged "live in Christ".

      What happened in Serbia was terrible. It is part of the awful history in the Balkans, and the meeting of religious division, communism, and fascism in a desperate time for humanity during World War II.
      Whilst in no way seeking to defend the actions of parts of the Serbian clergy, one could also level charges against the Russian Orthodox Church during the Soviet period and today, with the war in Ukraine, if so minded as to maintain and keep going with division between the Apostolic Churches.
      Christians of all denominations have at various times in history committed terrible atrocities against one another. You appear to want to keep the spirit in which that violence festered to continue. I take it from your name that you are not Serbian, and have no experience of war and sectarianism in the Balkans, but simply want to vent due to misplaced anger generated over the years from your personal life.

      Hmm. Listen, we love everyone cause that's what Christ did. But we are talking about The Church. Is either the Pope is Head of the Church or Christ. It's either the Pope is infallible or Christ. The Church agreed that the Credo will not be changed, and "a bit later" Vatican changed the Credo. And so on.
      This is not something personal or an insult. This is serious. And it's as serious as it can get.

      If we can say that the dogmatic definition of Christ’s Natures at the Council of Chalcedon was a “misunderstanding” or “lost in translation” then why not accept the Filioque clause based on the same reasoning? Even the Non-Chalcedonian churches won’t accept the Filioque.
      The Holy Ghost proceeds from the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ has two natures, fully God & fully Man. Anything else is not Orthodox Christianity. We should baptise those wanting to be received into the Orthodox Church from non- Chalcedonian churches.
