Dude, Prayers are for souls and salvation, not for a ball through the hoop. I pray for your safety and common sense but not your three-pointer.

Electrolysis!!! That's the answer.

The whole issue with the divorce is a smoke-screen and a trap system to try to drag the Pope into a confrontational position and the issues I posted earlier (up top). Everyone is being fixated on the man and the woman. This is not where the issue …

Should it be: thread, wax, pluck, or shave [the unibrow]?
-
The ramifications are quite extensive, among which: 1. The Egyptian Government attempting, again, to run the Coptic Orthodox Church and interfere in Its Sacramental Life and Ecclesiastical Hierarchy and integrity. 2. To test the will of Pope She…

What if it were a unibrow issue?

You are kidding...right?!

I was speaking of Wed and Fri; even in the Apostles' Fast.

No procession.

Father, I wasn't rejecting it. I was giving a historical perspective.

Yes, it is inclusive of the Eritrean Tradition. I just used the word "Ethiopian" as encompassing. I render this as a clarification. Sorry, if there were any misunderstandings.

Actually, no animal products, including fish, is to be partaken during any fast. The current "degrees" as outlined by Minagir, are an evolution in the Church to try to lessen the burden. It is the current system. For example, during the Papacy o…

DanieM, Except on Wednesdays and Fridays

It is an extension of the indoctrination that goes on in the Egyptian School Systems. It starts from day #1. Not to mention the TV, newspapers, and other propaganda media in Egypt.
-
It is similar in concept to the Roman tradition of "ciborium". We have it in different aspects in the Coptic Church, such as: domes over the altar, the reader's shawl (shamla), the covers over the thrones of the bishops, etc. I think it is to be …

You may go to their website: www.britishorthodoxchurch.org. It answers all of your questions. Simply put: they are a semi-autonomous western jurisdiction within the Coptic Orthodox Church. They are fully under the Patriarchate of the Coptic Ort…

I do not even think it is a bishop. The vestments are not for a bishop (if you look closely). I do not think there is an intentional hoax. It's basically some dingbat who saw it and thought it looked like Pope Kyrillos VI. Bp Youannis, had nothi…

NO

I agree.
-
Mabsoota, I am aware of your comment, but it does not detract from what the RCC did as an action just to extend Its reach. They sacrificed dogma and theology to add another 60,000 - 600,000 (depending on whose estimate you use as the size of the A…

The key word is "few". The Oriental Orthodox do not seem to do well in standing with each other. Blessed is Abuna Antonious, Patriarch of the Eritrean Church.

Zoxsasi, In regard to thoughts on the original question, as I was looking up a reference for your other thread, I add for you the following article from the same--Coptologia Journal. "Monophytism vs. Diophysitism...Eutychianism Clarified (Vol. II,…

Hey Zoxsasi, Coptologia has a website. Here is a link to the particular article entitled: "Tension Engendered by Theological Statements on the Exercise of the Primacy" (Vol. VIII, p. 15). http://www.coptologia.com/toc2.htm#VIII I think that you…

minagir, Thanks for the info.

You can go to www.copticpope.org for the Keraza Magazine. It will list who was ordained. It will not have a stream of the Pentecost Liturgy. I would give it another week, for them to download the magazine in .pdf format.

No, he [St. Peter] is not. It is nonsense. The use of the Primacy of Peter is purely for Imperial gain. Bishop Gregorious (of the Coptic Church--Late Bishop of Higher Theological Studies), of thrice blessed memory, wrote a very scholarly article …
-
Minagir, I'm purely speculating and asking out loud, relative to the name "Sarkis". There were many Armenians that were influential in the Coptic Church, who contributed in terms of iconography and writings. Actually most of the oldest Coptic Ico…
-
Just back from my conference. The Roman Catholic Church accepted the Assyrian Church of the East into Communion. So what does that say about an imperial embark--sacrificing theology and signed documents with the EO and OO for the sake of adding to…
-
Minagir, Question: I thought "Sarkis" is the Armenian form of the name "Sergius" (Arabic: Sarga). How does this factor? Especially in light of the Armenian presence in the Basilica Church of the Holy Sepulchre (The Church of the Holy Resurrecti…

Explain to me how popes, bishops, and priests can ride with swords pointed in the air? And that is holy? Not to mention they actually killed with them.
