Nice article. I just ordered a POD copy of the book from Amazon for my mother, who is a traditionalist Catholic. Looks great. Coming from a very different tradition, I can absolutely relate. Seeing the degeneration of traditional acts of piety prescribed for certain liturgical places is, for me, even at the level of heresy because an assault on the piety of a people cannot but lead to a drastic weakening of the faith, which I think we have seen plenty of in the great apostolic Christian traditions of the east and west. When it happens "naturally", it is a great sorrow. But when it is forced, like Vatican 2 or the Old Believer schism in Russia, it is an assault against the faith through its practices. A much more direct attack than the older doctrinal disputes...
Thanks for this comment. I didnt know it was on amazon. Im curious as to whether it was reformatted or not. Ive personally printed stapled and glued together at least 5 copies to give away. My only foray into bookbinding.
I dont know anything about the old believer schism, gotta link?
Was your decision more based on the internal contradictions of the catholic faith post-v2 or more based on a conviction the differences in teaching in orthodoxy are superior?
“Our very attempts to fix our problems are often actually signs or symptoms of the problem itself.” 🔥🔥🔥👏🏼
Ill post a pic when i get the book next week so you can see the quality. Its from scanned images, so I am not expecting anything top-notch.
Here is an example where wikipedia is actually pretty accurate....

Just wonderful; I recently started going to Low Mass on Sunday and it's been surprisingly wonderful. I'll try printing part of this out!
Thanks for the encouragement. R u orthodox now?
