On February 2, 2021, the Orthodox Church in America’s Diocese of the West sent this letter out from Archbishop Benjamin. This originally appears on the Orthodox Christian site Monomakhos.com, and we are indebted to George and Gail Michalapulos for their dedication in running it. We reprint it in full for the reasons of fairness in […]
The piece you are about to read was originally found on The American Thinker. Written by Andrew W. McCoy, it presents the present reality we face in the United States and asks some very good questions. After his piece will be some additional comment. First, Andrew takes the stage: It looks to me as if we are […]
Tonight is another open forum before the interview with James Fox Higgins! Questions will come from discord but preference will be given to Streamlabs questions. I end up answering a couple questions about Matt Fradd, the Filioque and eternal manifestation. Subscribe to JaysAnalysis in the Purchase Membership section to access the archives of videos and […]
A California judge ruled that the state cannot take any action to prevent strip clubs from “being allowed to provide live adult entertainment." At the same time, churches in California have been locked in legal struggles for months as churches of different denominations seek to end the limitations on indoor services.
Pastor Mike McClure's church has racked up some $220,000 in fines from Santa Clara County and is suing the county to contest the fines and to also challenge officials’ right to require the churches to maintain lists of attendees at their services and turn them over to the government whenever demanded.
A fact little known in the West, and one that was largely unknown during the Soviet period, was that not all was peace, love and grooviness in that gigantic Communist empire. Two republics, Azerbaijan and Armenia, share a long and bloody history that in recent weeks has flared up again enough to make news reports in the West.
This is one of the reasons why there is so much vitriol being dumped out all over President Trump from the Left, the Democrats, Black Lives Matter, Antifa, Barack Obama, Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband and so many more. They do not like it when someone walks the walk with regard to Christianity. It is far more convenient to have someone who “goes to church” but doesn’t do what God wants of them. VP Joe Biden and his wife are involved in such a playact, and so are Kamala Harris and her husband. We have noted this before but it needs to be pointed out again and again and again.
COTEL joins me to cover Lossky’s classic book introducing Orthodox theology. We cover the first half of the book highlighting the contrast with western trends and note how Lossky in accord with Fr Staniloae, Meyendorff, Fr Florovksy and Larchet, being faithful to St. Gregory Palamas and the Pillars of Orthodoxy. We cover the logoi and the imossibility of melding Palamas with Aquinas. His channel is here.
Los Angeles County sought a court order barring Grace Community Church from holding services, arguing that it was a health threat. A judge ruled that worshipers only needed to wear masks and practice social distancing. [Not much of a victory for truth and liberty, but a step in the right direction.]
With all the crazy shifting narratives in American news about Coronvirus – the availability of treatments, the effectiveness of masks, the ineffectiveness of masks, the persecution of Christians who want to go to Church and pray and receive Holy Communion, the comparative safety of riots and attacking people, statues and buildings who are deemed “racist” by historically ignorant overgrown teenagers who are too stoned to think straight…
Well, you get the idea.
