There is a fellow on GAB who was wavering between Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.

Almost entirely because of Jorge's outrages, he has decided to go Eastern Orthodox.

I just mentioned to him that, since the Eastern Schism, heresies have developed among the Orthodox and that they too have problems with perverts.

Eastern Orthodoxy has not been a special interest of mine, so I cannot elaborate in depth about the heresies. I have mentioned Jay Dyer and occult hesychasm and kabbalism.

If there is someone here who has deep knowledge (or solid references) about the heresies, you might consider posting to him on GAB or, if not on GAB, I can pass on any useful information you have. PM me if you need his GAB screen name.

Since "CallMeJorge" was recently banned from Twitter, the best critic I know is not available.

This is a tough struggle these days, given the presence of Modernist Rome and Jorge. I've noticed more and more people moving EO in the past year, at least online, thanks to the constant Trad Catholic wars and the outrageous scandals from Rome.

Tell them to watch this playlist by MHFM, some of the best contra-EO videos out there.

Ask them which churches among the confederation of national churches constitutes the "Orthodox" church, and then ask them how it is any different than Protestantism in structure.

"And other sheep I have, that are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one fold and one shepherd."
[John 10:16]

Which fold, historically, has unity and a single shepherd amongst the plurality of sheep-folds?

Jay Dyer's pseudo-intellectualism and mockery of Catholic theology has been the bane of potential Trad Catholic converts these past couple of years. He even almost ensnared me for a time. He has this appeal to the alt-right "tradinistas" that is lacking among Trad Catholic commentators. One of the videos in that playlist does a good job refuting his heresies and errors, whilst pointing out his occultism.

The Orthodox have a history of changing their beliefs to justify their separation with the One True Church.

Ex. Abandoning the correct interpretations they held on Purgatory and instead making up “toll houses” out of an apparent distaste for being virtually in agreement with Catholics on this doctrinal issue.

This interview (aside from being an uplifting conversion story) provides anecdotal evidence of this:

Here’s also a playlist by YT user Ascent of Mount Carmel that covers many of the EO heresies:

The most interesting set of these videos, in my view, are the ones covering how the Orthodox view Purgatory:

Thank you. That is a worthy start for him. I think he is sincere n his search.

As we all know, having a тαℓмυdic anti-Pope subsisting in the Chair of Peter is a huge impediment to conversions.

Thanks again!
