Fr. Peter Heers must have supernatural patience ---- to be able to listen to this Trent Horn guy!

Yes- and you are wrong. God wants unity and not ghettos of ethnic enclaves with multiple bishops in every city! You are confused or in denial

I SO appreciate the gift of discernment and explaining it that Fr. Peter Heers has!

You don't even need to compare Catholicism to Orthodoxy. Just compare Catholicism to itself. Catholicism is self contradicting, constantly evolving and chaotic.

there's fossilization in orthdoxy and in islam. there's no action of Holy Spirit there.

Didn’t seventh ecumenical council teach filioque and pope supremacy

orthodoxy: 12 apostles without Peter. Incomplete.

Unless the West goes back to the tlm there is no way Roman has lost the faith just like our lady said but I will stay in the western rite until our lady's triumph of her heart!

Hey I have a question, is the things that Orthoprax christianity is teaching abt orthodoxy true?

Fr. Petros, I think you are WRONG, ALL The Ecumenical Councils "WERE" call by The Emperors, what does The Monks at St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastary/Athos have to day about that, your statement that "The Emperors" don't have to call The Council are your own personal opinion NOT Traditional, again what does The Monks from Athos AND St. Anthony's Greek Orthodox Monastary have to say about that🤔🤔🤔

Holy holy holy is Christ... I am moved by the orthodox tradition. I see the beauty in their ceremony.

Amen ☦️

Why are the Papists always trying to discredit our Church? Do they not have enough problems which are arising daily inside their own organisation which they should address? What hypocrisy

I love everyone. I pray for unity

Father, pray for me please Tom

The problem that the Orthodox have to solve is what is an ecumenical council? What determines an ecumenical? I’m sorry but this material that you are giving is very very weak.

“What Christ is imparting to us is the healing of our human will.” 😢

Jesus never founded a state run religion.

Like with atheists, until they can accept a single idea, everything said is pearls before swine. Atheists must first come to accept the possibility of a god to convert, papists must first come to the understanding of the hierarchy of jurisdictions to understand the position and proper place of the pope.

My mom was a Polish Roman Catholic, father was Russian Orthodox. I'm very drawn to Russian Orthodox. I love my father's culture on one hand but growing up during the cold war (he actually came from USSR) he really wanted us to embrace our nationality. on the other hand not being raised as Russian but American, the Russian Orthodox does feel very foreign to me, which makes me feel out of place, as opposed to my neighbor hood Catholic church where I grew up attended by neighbors or people I see around town, I diverse group of people. That's what's made it hard for me to make the change. That being said, I personally don't see anything wrong with a community hanging onto it's culture

The second you add instruments it becomes performative.

O Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine inheritance! ☦️

I have heard so many unjust slanders against Fr. Peter; both against his views and praxis. Yet I, and many others, have been blessed for the Orthodox Ethos’ edifying material and content. Orthodoxy as a whole is very small on the internet, and it can be difficult to find insight into very important matters, but Fr Peter’s work has helped me, and many others, tremendously. ~ O Lord Jesus Christ, enkindle the hearts of all Thy priests with the fire of zealous love for Thee, that they may ever seek Thy glory; Give them strength that they may labor unceasingly in Thine earthly vineyard for the salvation of our souls and the glory of Thine All-Honorable and Majestic Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

It is weird! I feel like I’ve waited all my life to hear you defend Holy Orthodoxy like this! Finally!!! No legalism. Only guidance by the Holy Spirit and cleaving to the faithful Saints throughout history…

Amen

To give one man power is asking for that power to be corrupted. The English St Bede (died AD 735) wrote "although it may seem that this power of loosing and binding was given by The Lord to Peter, we know without any doubt that it was also given to the other apostles as Christ himself testifies when after the triumph and passion of his resurrection, He appeared to them and breathed upon them and said to them "all, receive ye the Holy Spirit, if ye forgive the sins of any they are forgiven to them. If ye retain the sins of any, they are retained". Therefore all the apostles and their successors are equal, working together in a conciliar fashion - or should have remained so if Rome had not got ahead of itself and seized supreme power. I do hope Trent Horn watches this video of yours Father. He is one of the most moderate and intelligent Catholic apologists and I was surprised at his reaction here.

Fragmentation on steroids in Western “Christendom.” We feel your frustration Fr Peter! Their whole rationalistic, progressive mindset blinds them from being able to understand the unified Orthodox Ethos! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

3:49 also, communion of the saints.

Many Catholics after Vat II, have been subjected to watered down masses and poorly catechized. I had no clue personally about the RCC when I started on my journey , but once cracks started to appear and after 4 years of turmoil, I made my way into the Orthodox church. I think that the problem is, the Orthodox church is the best kept secret is why many wound up in the RCC.

Short answer: no.

"Popes can make mistakes". There is huuuuuuggggeee leap from "mistake" to "heresy". Saying that the current pope makes mistakes is like saying that a con artist may have confused some people.

People who say the Orthodox Church is "split" or "fragmented" obviously are completely ignorant of the Orthodox life and community

I think the issue is a bit more nuanced than what is usually presented in regard to this subject. There’s a clear difference in patristic writings between meditative prayer upon the scriptures (which invariably requires some type of visualization) and what we would call “fantasy”. Recalling an icon of our Lord walking upon the water is one thing; fantasizing that you are walking with our Lord on the water is quite another.

Peter estabishes the church of Antioch then goes to Rome Rome kills Peter "We own Christianity now" "We got Peter's keys,"🤦‍♂️

Great points, all very true. Stated respectfully too.

Father, will you have an actual discussion with Trent Horn? Or any Catholic? I may be mistaken, but I've never seen you talk WITH a Catholic. Just about Catholics. Correct me if I am mistaken. God bless you.

I would love to convert but where I am, the EOC has no meaningful presence at all. So, effectively, I'm no longer aligned with any church. Formally Catholic, but realistically, given recent events, no more.

The lack of humility in the RC, which is the essence of Christian teaching, is astounding

In 1066, Battle of Hastings, The Orthodox Anglo-Saxon king, Harold Godwinson was killed, along with Western Rite Orthodoxy, by the Normans with the blessing of their schismatic pope, Alexander II. It's time for Western Rite Orthodoxy to return.

I'd like to see you answer Gavin Ortlund on icons by showing large scale evidence of Icon veneration before Nicea and offer evidence to how we know the early church was completely against icons
