[Antoninus]

Since the 8th century, and especially since the 11th century, having broken with the Patriarchates of the East, Rome has lived another life altogether.

Meanwhile, the patriarchates of the East are ... dead.

Alexandria? dead.
Antioch? dead.
Constaninople? dead.
Jerusalem? divided and mostly dead.

Only one of the ancient patriarchal sees still thrives in our time. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit makes things crystal clear for those with eyes to see.

[Kolokotronis]

“Only one of the ancient patriarchal sees still thrives in our time. Sometimes, the Holy Spirit makes things crystal clear for those with eyes to see.”

Agreed. The last thing any of us want is to be joined at the hip with a dead or dying denomination, more involved with the World than the theosis of the People of God.

[RobbyS]

Dead and getting deader. All the Christians are being driven out of of Muslim lands as they make plain that their supposed respect for the People of the Book is a lie. Those European Christians who so scorn the Israelis, sip tea with Muslims who conceal daggers in their robes.
