Me: "For the sake of argument." "Let's just pretend." "Here's an example."

Orthos in my comment: "yOuRe MaKiNg aN AsSumpTioN"

Completely correct. They viciously attack our position like it proves theirs. This is the equivalent of an atheist attacking the resurrection of Christ thinking it’s proving his position.

Wether Orthodox, Catholic or Protestant. I hope all brothers and sisters in Christ reach sincere repentance and live a life that God wants for them. Humble, Holy, Self Controlling and Kind. May the Blessings of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

"Pretend with me for a second."- Buddy, I'm a non-denominational protestant. I have been pretending my WHOLE life.

The more important point in Wagner video is not only that "if Cath is wrong it doesn't mean Orthodox is right." But the more deeper and important point is, ORTHODOX CAN NOT GIVE US REASON WHY THEY ARE RIGHT (or, what is the correct position)

So, suppose you agree with Orthodox that the roman view of primacy is wrong, when you ask them "what then is the correct view?" They don't have an answer.

Because their view is just "anything else but the roman view of primacy." Even now Greek and Russia are fighting over what "primacy" is.

I am so glad I became Catholic instead of EO

[DMZ]

Im agnostic and I can observe due to anti catholic sentiment, only the best catholic apologists are out there. Really goes to show quality and integrity.

You should read russia and the universal church by Vladimir Soloviev. Dude was basically a prophet when it came to the orthodox church. He predicted a future break between the russian and the greek churches.

I'll admit, there are issues with our Orthodox Apologists. I think they're very impatient a lot of the time as well. As an Orthodox think I'd have a hard time discussing with them.

[Euphrosynos]

I’m a former Protestant now Eastern Orthodox Christian. I love all my Catholic brothers and sisters! I don’t think the Byzantines are cringe, and I’m understanding of y’all’s liturgical changes. I just feel like if we truly try to love each other as we are supposed to instead of debating online/in person, given enough time and humility then we can get out of our way, and let the Holy Spirit fix this problem of disunity. Anyway that’s my rant. If anyone has any suggestions let me know. God bless you all my siblings in Christ. ❤

[Jericho]

As a person who is in between and too ignorant to choose. I wish the Orthodox and Catholics had better and more discussions on these topics. I know it happens occasionally but not as much as it should considering we all want the truth and have universally concluded Jesus is our savior.

[Patriarch.Chadimus]

As an Orthodox I've been exceptionally frustrated at this sort of "apophatic RC" that many in the Dyer crowd believe Orthodoxy is. I obviously believe Orthodoxy is true, but I experience this all the time (denial of Original sin, denial of Divine Simplicity, polytheistic view of the Divine Energy etc.) where Orthodoxy is basically believed to be what Protestantism and Roman Catholicism isn't... in all cases.

But that's not what Orthodoxy is. We aren't simply an OPPOSITION to "da ebil West" lol.

[dianekamer]

And...I see that the Orthobros have shown up. LOL!

[everettpeabody]

As a protestant really appreciate this video lol

[letrewiarz]

I'm not 100% sold on this, but I honestly think that if some EO apologist convinced me that Catholicism is false, then I would be closer to converting to some traditional form of protestantism rather than going East

This is my first time watching this channel, and this clip was great. I couldn’t agree more. I needed this one.

[danvankouwenberg]

I am impressed to see men your age who have so much knowledge about this stuff. I think this take makes so much sense.
You know what else makes sense? The Papacy. Good enough for me. Matthew 16:18-19.
I think the Catholic apologists are the best because they're on the defense all the time, but sometimes you just have to have faith in the Lord and his one true Church.
Love the channel! God bless you all.

[steakfilly]

Opinion: The mass conversions Eastern Orthodoxy from Protestantism is an online fad and is just a reaction to the degeneracy in the secular world. They asceticism and tradition in Orthodoxy is appealing to them over the appearance of liberalism within some of the clergy of the Catholic Church.

[dailyDorc]

I've never seen these advanced tactics. I thought that they just say the word "economia" as if it was a complete and definitive argument and then you both stare at each other blank faced. The Orthodox, assuming you have no idea what that word means, starts their unsolicited explanation. Meanwhile, you listen and start to wonder if they actually know what it means since it doesn't relate to your point at all
