Interesting that pretty much all of the responses ignored the post and instead chose to launch an attack on the Roman Church. Neither Robinson nor I are Catholics. Hmm...
Ha ha I caught that. I expected it to go to 500 posts or so before someone pointed out it was from an Orthodox Christian perspective, not a Catholic one.

I've read enough in other threads that I wasn't surprised to notice what you noticed. Many people don't recognize the clue in a name like "Energetic Processions." Also, as the length of an open thread in the Religion Forum increases, the probability that the thread includes some "attack on the Roman Church" approaches 1.

One need not be ‘Roman Catholic’ to follow Rome- I didn’t realize I was following Rome as a Protestant, But then He showed me how simple it was to be following sola and solo roma and not Him..
It’s baked into our cake from an early age as we are, like it or not, roman citizens.
simple example:
Orthodox and Protestants still, even as non Catholics, have a Roman Friday/Saturday/Sunday to your 1st importance of the gospel, right?
Or do they follow the Scriptura of Passover/Unleavened Bread/First Fruits? The one Paul taught? In Accordance with the Scriptures?
I ask because as a Protestant, I didn’t know there was a difference, and there is a difference. and it’s subtle.
In the Scriptures, The Father’s Passover is always His 6th and final Work day on His calendar- not so on the roman calendars the world uses. That means those days Paul discussed in His letter to the Corinthians, Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits, are the Father’s 6th/7th/1st day-
Rome doesn’t follow that- they’ve ‘changed times’ to put it bluntly.
Big deal? Small deal?
Well, that little difference can show that Rome not only has another gospel (another 1st importance of the gospel), they have another Jesus (a roman Jesus according to their calendar and catechism)
And I would guess that most Protestants and Orthodox have the same Roman Jesus. They just celebrate Him at different times because of the differences in the two roman calendars.
I can state, because of my own journey to Sanctification in His Word, Protestants and Orthodox are more sola and solo Roma than they dare even test- and won’t be able to see it.
If they do start to ask, seek and knock like I did, they’d want nothing to do with Rome..
And something seemingly simple and harmless as a roman calendar can be shown to be false with ‘sola and solo scriptura. That’s the power of His Scriptura.
Where does that leave the followers of rome’s calendars?
Accepting Rome’s premise and false importance of the gospel and false Christ.
His Word is Truth and being Sanctified in it, is our goal. And frankly, too many have accepted Rome- even Orthodox.
In these end times that is either a big nothinburger, or it can explain why it reads in the last book of the bible that satan deceives the whole world.
Again, one need not be Catholic, to follow Rome. As a ‘Protestant’ I never knew how enslaved I was to Rome. Till He set me free.
And her protestant daughters and orthodox daughters may not know how enslaved they are to Rome.
Christianity today is Roman. And they may not see it yet.
In time, I pray they will.. For His Glory!
