A discussion on Uniates and Eastern Catholicism from a former Uniate, Alexander, who moved to Orthodoxy. Our guests recounts his journey in the world of Uniatism, its philosophical and theological incoherence, the many competing claims and rejections of *ecumencial councils* and incoherence of accepting Orthodox saints! Eastern catholicism didn’t begin this nonsense after Vatican 2, either.
Marshall & Flanders isn’t a 60s era boomer folk band, it’s the most recent “takedown” of Orthodoxy that actually featured no discussion of theology proper. Instead, this disaster stream was emotional appeals, worship of bare authority and worse. Orthobro Snek joins me to rebut the giant load of misinformation. The original stream from them is here.
In this talk we will delve deeper into an analysis of the key writings of one of the greatest saints and theologians of Orthodoxy, Saint Basil the Great. We will see this key figure is as important for Trinitarian theology as St Athanasius as a pillar against the errors of Rome and Protestants (as well as Oriental “orthodox”) and the ecumenists. The second half will be for subscribers to JaysAnalysis.

I focus on Vatican I, the papacy, doctrinal development, Uniates, Filioque, absolute divine simplicity, the Vatican Bank and many, many more glaring innovations of the last millennium that are central features of papalism.

After weeks of smack talk and insults, the Kurgan and I squared off in a debate. Within 20 minutes the debate was over as soon as he said “Ludwig Denzinger.” The unbridled arrogance and hours of vitriol he spewed in his videos was shown to be exactly what I said – hot air. I told him I would not “be nice,” and I wasn’t. It wasn’t even a debate.
The Vatican comes with its ills, contradictions and blatant hypocrisies in the field of moral theology and human existence, but on the issue of atomic and nuclear weapons, the position has been fairly consistent, if marked by gradual evolution. On February 8, 1948, Pope Pius XII held an audience with members of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. “What misfortunes,” he asked, “should humanity expect from a future conflict, if it should prove impossible to arrest or curb the use of ever newer and more surprising scientific inventions?”
