It used to be the status quo in Rome (in same manner as in Moscow): no church in Saudi Arabia, no mosque in Rome. Until, John Paul II decided to give the okay to the Italian Government to allow a Grand Mosque to be built in Rome. Still no Church …

Geo, The mosque will be built with a cost of $100-130 million not 4 million.

Sorry to bud in, but, it is: The Monks of Mt. Athos.

Zoxsasi, I have no idea why the others (see above) are not. It is something that has to come out of the Holy Synod. I guess you can bring it up with Bps. Angelos, Misael, and Metropolitan Seraphim to bring up for the Synodal Committee. I agree t…
-
Godlovesme, I have no strong reason. Maybe because of the influence of the religious books I have read there is a European translation influence in them, e.g., the books by His Holiness Pope Shenouda III.
-
Zoxsasi, No doubt this poll is not accurate by any scientific manner. I set it up in order to foster a thought that may proliferate. In regard to, the Armenians and Indians (Malankara), and Anba Seraphim of the (BoC), they were not (for whateve…

It's funny, I tend to use the British spelling with religious issues and items, and for everything else, American spelling.

Godislove, Do you prefer: favor or favour; Savior or Saviour; encyclopdia or encyclopaedia?

Dude Cop, I was commenting. It was a little surprising for me.
-
I was being funny in a way. Orthodox marriage is wonderful to discuss. It is a great subject. I just did not think that the "positions" was a subject to be breached inside the church as part of a discussion.
-
I guess that is the "left" coast.

Is that English English or American English?
-
I guess Europe is a bit more progressive than the USA.

Also, ask good friends to introduce you to good people.

Zoxsasi, Fr. Peter's words are very exact and to the point. Probably the best advice I've heard on the matter. BTW, I have no idea who Nabil Baky is. Is he a guru on marriage?
-
Zoxsasi, I was told by my priest, 'never ask a priest about a potential spouse'. The reason is that they cannot tell you everything (which may be vital), and they cannot bad mouth one of their children. That is the bottom line. Plus, they enough…
-
Zoxsasi, It is quite simple, the priest would be forced to judge people. Everyone in the church is the priest's child. How can a father be forced to pick and choose relative to his children? Do you get my gist?

Lady is one who conducts herself in a ladylike fashion. This is inclusive of Christian life and attributes that Fr. Peter commented on very nicely. A "woman" is one who has the body parts that defines the XX chromosome make-up but is lacking in th…
-
There are plenty of women, not too many ladies (anymore).
-
Believe it or not there are a lot of forward signs for which you have to realize and pay attention. A lot of people ignore them, and they are "surprised" later in the marriage. Example: If a woman dresses skimpy, and is lascivious in conduct, the…

Best guidelines: the Book of Proverbs.

Difficult to find. I think they are hiding on an island in the North Sea.

We are with you. More importantly, God is with you.

Zoxsasi, It is obvious actually. These are very practical. The things I mentioned are very close and near at hand when in a troubled situation. You can consider as emergency functionalities.

I clicked on the link and it didn't work

You are correct, my Father. This particular hybridization has been done not maliciously, but it has been a common artistic interpretation of the association of His Holiness with St. Mina. If you travel to St. Mina's Monastery in the Alexandrine d…

Whenever there is time as it relates to the diptych of the Liturgy.

Mabsoota, I hate to be a picky, but: 'this' would be rendered as 'zis' not 'zees'; 'these' would be 'zees'. Forgive me. Absolve me. ...and mostly do not hate me. --your pal--I.L.S.M.
-
Hez, It's not just that issue. It is also the contradiction that I mentioned, that: in the picture His Holiness is smiling, quite gleamingly, (in the depiction) and then he gives off tears. It just does not make sense.

I used to throw a ball against the wall over and over. I made the high school baseball team as a pitcher, and I could hit 89-90 mph on the radar gun. You have to channel it, and ask for God's help. You have to reflect inside as to what is causing…
