“The only religion that has ever beat Islam” 😐 Western Europe was not shaped by its wars with Islam in the same way Eastern Europe and the Balkans were. In fact Eastern Orthodoxy was many-times the only bulwark against Ottoman domination.
Catholicism is the only religion that has ever beat Islam. If the U.K. really wants to defeat Islam, it’s going to have to go back the being “Mary’s Dowry.” Otherwise, the Brits might as well just surrender now and start paying the jizya. 👇

Most Protestants that idolize Puritans know not what they do. Rebellious and treacherous sedition is not a beatitude.

The synod of the Romanian Patriarchate will canonize 16 new saints before its centennial, including Fr. Dumitru Stăniloae, Arsenie Boca, and Ilie Cleopa.
All 16 new saints were persecuted under the communist dictatorship.

First BCP slander and now the Archbishop of York calling The Lord’s Prayer problematic, is very concerning indeed. Christianity isn’t a game of dress up, the BCP isn’t a quaint self-help book. People’s eternal souls are on the line, orthodoxy is needed now more than ever.

Being in the Romanian diaspora comes with a near constant longing: “De dor si de bucurie”
Of longing, and of joy.
God, prosper the nation of Romania and her people. Guard her against plans made by the enemy, and prosper her in due measure. Amin.

Few things inspire greater righteous anger in me than revisionist history. The Anglo-Saxons didn’t exist? Straight to Siberia. Islamic Spain was basically a secular utopia? Deported to Morocco.

By way of addressing comments and questions that come up about my tweeting in Romania and English, I didn’t grow up in a house that made it a priority to speak Romanian. I lost a lot of it, and I have spent a lot of time trying to gain it back.

People that want to tax churches don’t have altruistic motives, they just really hate churches (and all the people that churches care and provide for).

Romanian Orthodoxy has done huge amounts of quiet work in both ecumenical relations and actual conversions in the West. Don’t pay too much attention to online spats between the Russians and Greeks.

After morning prayer today I joined a Pro-Life group praying outside of an abortion clinic, and along with an Episcopalian priest led our group in praying the Great Litany.
I would invite all of you to do the same today, and pray the Great Litany from wherever you are.
