Life / Relation in Poland to Orthodox Christians? [117]
:)
You want to tell me that the fishermen who followed Jesus wore intricate chamber pots enamelled with jewels on their heads...
... preached in palaces dripping with gold and called themselves all those bombastic titles? Interesting :)
Sure, RCC is guilty of the same thing but at least we don't claim that we haven't changed. Orthodoxy is so obviously corrupt, greedy, servile towards the state and dripping with gold and jewels that they put even our clergy to shame with their pomp and bombast. I wouldn't like to be among this golden-chamber-pots brigade when Christ returns to judge us. God have mercy on them.
One thing that strikes me about the Church fathers, both Greek and Latin - and you will have to accept this fact as a quality historian - is that there wasn't a single Russian among them. :)
it has barely changed
