Greetings from a Traditionalist from another church

[MarkOfEphesus]

I am a member of the Holy Synod in Resistance who are alot like your SSPX

Could you provide more info about them? I've never heard of this.

As the horrible Masons,God have mercy, attack the church as they do in your church.In yours they changed the Style of the liturgy,in ours they changed the calendar of the liturgy.Both are linked.The feasts are eternal.For in Jerusalem there is the Holy Light which occurs on the feast of Pascha,During the Feast of the transfiguration a "Mist" appears on Mount Tebor and on other feasts many miracles occur.Such as the great exalted cross in 1925 in Athens.They attacked our Calendar as the masons attacked your Liturgy so that the churches would come together,although this coming together is heretical and horrifying leading many to believe it is the great apostasy.Now since neither the liturgy or the calendar can change as they did,these are enemies of tradition and the friends of ecumenism.


The Synod in resistance is like the SSPX in that the more rigorist or "Right road" are declaring the churches who follow the new calendar or ecumenism or united with them as completely graceless.much like the RCC's Sedevacantist ecclesiology.Now the Synod or codenamed "Cyprianites" after the head of the resisters "Metro.Cyprian of fili" they do not believe the New calendarist are graceless "par-say" but are ailing,like those who go to the new mass.The cyprianites are like the Piusites in that they are "Royal path" and not extreme to the left or right. but "Traditional" and "Orthodox. We are in full communion with others who fight the same battle,the ROCOR and two others.This is a fight of "Tradition" versus "Heresy.A fight you yourselves are fighting

Hello

I recently left Eastern Orthodoxy in order to be received in the Catholic Church.

It was a painful thing for me, as I was a very known supporter of Orthodoxy and I brought people to the Orthodox Church.

I believe the Catholic Church to be the True Church. I am a Traditionalist and I am against Ecumenism, I'm all for the Julian Calendar and I encourage all Catholics of the Eastern Rite to encourage their clergy to follow the typicon as they should.

I'm all for the Julian Calendar

What's the big deal about the Julian Calendar?

Calendars are reformable, even the present one may be refromed one day. I have the idea that the Orthodox rejected the Gregorian Calendar because it was issued by the Pope, the same reason the Protestants did.

On the same note, what's the big deal about the Gregorian Calendar?

There's no "big deal." It was a necessary reform of the Julian Calendar.

"Cæsar's reform, which was introduced in the year 46 B.C., would have been perfect had the calculation on which it was based been accurate. In reality, however, the portion of a day to be dealt with, over and above the complete 365, is not quite six hours, but 11 minutes and 14 seconds less. To add a day every fourth year was, therefore, almost three quarters of an hour too much, the following new year commencing 44 minutes and 52 seconds after the sun had passed the equinox. At the end of a century these accumulated errors amounted to about three-quarters of a day, and at the end of four centuries to three entire days. The practical inconveniences of this defect in the system were not slow in making themselves felt, the more so as, Cæsar being murdered soon after (44 B.C.), leap-year, by a misunderstanding of his play, occurred every third year, instead of every fourth. At the time of the Julian reform the sun passed the vernal equinox on 25 March, but by the time of the Council of Nicæa (A.D. 325) this had been changed For the 21st, which was then fixed upon as the proper date of the equinox--a date of great importance for the calculation of Easter, and therefore of all the moveable feasts throughout the year.

But the error, of course, continued to operate and disturb such arrangements. In the thirteenth century the year was seven days behind the Nicæan computation. By the sixteenth it was ten days in arrear, so that the vernal equinox fell on 11 March, and the autumnal on 11 September; the shortest day was 11 December, and the longest 11 June, the feast of St. Barnabas, whence-the old rhyme:

Barnaby bright, the longest day and the shortest night.

Such alterations were too obvious to be ignored, and throughout the Middle Ages many observers both pointed them out and endeavoured to devise a remedy." - CE

Hello.

Hello and greetings to all on Fish Eaters

My name is Anthony
I'm a US-Citizen
I am a traditionalist of the Eastern Orthodox church

It may seem strange that a EO Trad would be on a RC Trad forum, though I enjoy theological discussion from other faiths and am tired of all the Ecumenism developing between our churches, I am a respecter of tradition and I hope you all are too.

Dear Anthony,

Welcome.

I hope an EO Trad can help out with a debate I'm having with some modern EOs regarding contraception.

Do you have any documentation on the historical teachings of the Eastern Orthodox church regarding contraception?

Thank for any assistance you can offer.
