Re: Liberal Seminary Students Confess Their Sins to Plants
I know, right - a funny thing to say for a rogue sect that broke off the Eastern Orthodox Church!
Because if we were to rank churches historically, the five original dioceses (Jerusalem, Antiochia, Alexandria, Rome, and Constantinople) were equals - and the idea that the bishop of Rome could be considered as somehow higher in the hierarchy, did not arise until the Great Schism! The Orthodox Church has rightfully recognized that idea as preposterous, but the bishop of Rome decided to break off the church anyway, thus ending the unity of the Christian church. Ending the unity, because before that, any sects that tried to separate, such as Nestorians, Arians, etc, were rightfully recognized as not really Christian and persuaded to abandon their wicked ways - with fire and sword. Since the Orthodox had no means to persuade Catholics to abandon their wicked ways, the schism persisted.

Like you, I do pray for the lost soul of Mr. Rovagnati, but until he admits that he is in the clutches of the devil, then all we can do is wait upon the
