What Protestants And Catholics Should Know About Orthodoxy

I'm not Orthodox but it been a joy hearing and seeing the passion these priest have for Jesus and wanting to share that with the world. Pretty eye opening to get to see.

That’s my priest! A holy and amazing spiritual father ☦️☦️☦️

Im converting to Orthodoxy rn and youre channel is great!

You're Absolutely Right That I Didn't Want To Live On A Bridge, So On Christmas Day, Monday, December 25th, 2023 @ 10 AM EST, I Converted From Latin Rite Roman Catholicism Via The Byzantine Rite Eastern Catholic Church To The Tier One and Only, Holy, Eastern Orthodox Catholic and Apostolic Church That I'm A Member Of Here In My Hometown of Anderson ( Anderson County), South Carolina And I Thank Almighty God For The Great Escape From Rome, Coming Home To Orthodox Christianity. AXIOS ☦️ ‼️

Orthodoxy is the only place that ever felt holy presence and that I was in a holy place no other place ever did

Since becoming Orthodox and watching many priests speak ( Father Spyridon, Father Josiah Trenham, Father Stephen De Young etc) I’ve noticed something in their eyes. Something holy, kind, trustworthy, good and RIGHT. When I used to be involved with Freemasonry I noticed the polar opposite in their eyes. They were cold, dark, distant, suspicious, shady, shifty, WRONG. It’s interesting 🧐 the eyes really are the window to the soul. This priest here has the right eyes. I trust him completely ☦️

I went to an orthodox service for the first time on Easter (Catholic calendar) and was blown away. It felt holy. It was holy. I’ve wanted to go for a while. And every priest I see and meet speaks a similar language. Jesus is the Word. It makes sense the one true Church would reflect this. Thanks for your content.

Orthodoxy doesn’t fall short in any intellectual or Scriptural debate. Yes Orthodoxy brings much more of humanity into our worship than the typical Protestant. Protestants have to approach their inquiry in those terms as that is how they learned from their legalistic Catholic origin.

I‘m so happy that this channel exists. It‘s exactly what we need right now. God bless you for your work and courage! 🙏 Can‘t wait for new content! ☦️❤️‍🔥

Orthodoxy is "Mere Christianity" to use a CS Lewis title. It is the worship and the way Christ taught. If there is less, something was taken away. If there is more, something was added, but Orthodoxy is simply, merely, "Christianity."

As a Catholic who is discerning the Orthodox Faith, I thought this interview was excellent. I appreciated the good questions presented to Fr Andrew, and I found his answers very helpful. I've been reading a lot about the history of the Roman and Eastern Churches and their increasingly strained relationship during the first millennium. I appreciated Fr Andrew's honesty in acknowledging that the bishop of Rome was in fact seen as an "elder brother" - if you read some of the early Church fathers like Tertullian, Ignatius of Antioch, Irenaeus, Cyprian, John Chrysostom, all hold Rome in high regard and speak of its prestigious reputation- but one who did NOT command universal obedience or claim ex-cathedra infallibility which, contrary to what some Catholic apologists claim, is an accretion. Anyway, thanks for the wonderful interview!

I’ve been made an Orthodox Catechumen!!! ❤ pray for me ❤

I’m Ethiopian and Coptic Orthodox. I respect the Eastern Orthodox Christian but we should united as one Orthodox Christian like the beginning time. There is only one religion and teachings which is the early Orthodox Christian religion. United Orthodox Christian religion! 🙌🏽💒🙏🏽

I loved this! I always felt like I was going back and forth between a mental ascent and the emotion. I appreciated this.

Great interview!

Excellent editing and videography in all of your videos.

❤❤❤❤i love the idea of humility, love, service and not emotion and intelligence such as is the Western View. I am Lutheran but have been drawn to Orthodox infuences even before I knew they existed. Just letting God work on my heart.Love to all in the family of God.

Wonderful video

Love Fr. Andrew!

Good explanation, very helpful.
