The EO have rejected communion with the Oriental as a result of the debates that went during the 90's. We signed the agreement, but when the Ecumenical Patriarch took it to…

The Church remains in God's hands. It is the Body and the Bride of Christ. We are in no worse situation than we were this morning because those who are with us are grea…

No Coptic Patriarch has seen peace in his papacy.
[/quote]LOL. Good point!
Honestly, the anathemas of Eusebius, Flavian, Leo, Theodoret and other Chalcedonian leaders are probably too embedded within the consciousness of our/the Church to lift them. Sts. Cyril and Severus actually didn't mind if local churches commemorated…
My user name, "Severian", means "follower of Severus". It is because I greatly admire St. Severus and his staunch defense of Orthodoxy amidst the Theodorean/Chalcedonian, Eutychian, and Nestorian heresies.
I prefer not to reveal my real name.
Hello everyone!
I would just like to say that I found this thread on OC.net to very helpful regarding the OO view of Theosis:

Wouldn't it be wise to say those that believe in him are part of him. Then if we're part of him, are we a part of his body. The protestants do not believe in the consubsta…
Stavro when I have tended to all the commitments in my personal life I do plan on discussing this with you in more detail, but I just have a question:
No Byzantine Chalcedonian is denied communion ever based on Faith. They used to be rejected from c…

yeah, and we all need to stop it.

The condemnation of Leo, Chalcedon, the Tomos, etc. are proclaimed by countless Holy Fathers, councils, hagiographies, and (probably most significantly) the hymns of our Church. For us to unite with them we would be undermining so much of our tradit…
If they confess the Orthodox faith of the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic then the heavens will rejoice and they shall once again be reunited to the fold of the Orthodox Catholic Church. If not, then things shall remain as they are. In any case, …
@iloveSaintMark Honestly, I agree. I don't fully trust Theodorus II. He acts friendly to His Holiness Pope Shenouda and has agreed to intermarriage and intercommunion with our Church, but his website likes to label us and our Saints (like the Holy D…
You do realize that our Church is but a single local church of the [Oriental] Orthodox Church, correct? Our Church, the Orthodox Church, is comprised of six patriarchates:
(+= autocephalous episcopate, -= autonomus episcopate)
+Coptic Orthodox
