Saints who belonged to the inner circle of Charlemagne, shared his beliefs, or were his admirers. A Thread 🧵

Question: What beliefs of these Saints differed from Charles? What beliefs render him a heretic but render the following people Saints? (Read before answering) His wife, St. Hildegard of Vinzgau, had her relics elevated in 963 & was therefore canonized pre-schism as a Saint. Image

The reason why the RW lost & continues to struggle in the culture war is because the Right identifies itself as reactionary, always seeking to contrast itself with the Left whilst relativizing what it means to be Right Wing. In doing so, the RW concedes to how the Left … 1/15 🧵 Image frames the discourse. The Left of course openly attacks the Right but they do so by their own standards and while pushing a utopian worldview of their own, which many seculars find compelling.

The Right meanwhile can’t settle on a vision to positively affirm, instead … Image

My Catholic ancestors made a forest without roads with 8 month long winters into liveable soil, built schools, built hospitals, venerated their church's saints from around the world while also emphasizing love for their own native saints from France and New France, spent their...

The WR won't "fix" Orthodoxy, however the idea that "needing" something is directly linked to sufficiency is arbitrary & a rhetorical slight of hand to discredit the WR, it poisons the well. Was 4 Gospels necessary instead of 1? Was the faith "insufficient" prior to Constantine? Fr. Patrick Reardon touches upon the question of "What can the WR contribute to Orthodoxy?" in this talk:

The idea that the Western Rite is an inauthentic "reconstruction" or as I saw it called earlier, a form of "necromancy", is foreign to historic Orthodox conception of restorationism.

An impromptu thread to clarify some things regarding the Western Rite for my Eastern Rite brothers and sisters, so as to avoid confusion and scandal.

🧵 Two Philosophies: Antioch & ROCOR's Vision for the Roman Rite. ImageImage Please note before I begin that this thread is not an extensive list of responses to every critique of the Western Rite, however, it is intended to address common objections such as "Why do the WR flatten their eucharist into wafers?" & "Why do some venerate the Sacred Heart?"
