>>218275117repent and accept the primacy of the bishop of Rome
what makes butthurt belters act like this?
>>218275150certainly a better alternative to a senile KGB plantcount me in
>>218275168Little brains and even smaller penises
>>218275168you’re literally being a contrarian attention whore with your ostentatious display of parallel calendar celebrations
>>218275250>no u!Kek
>>218275269>uuuuuhm, sweatie, I celebrate THE REAL Christmas on muh julian calendar, unlike you satanic heathenslet’s be honest, it’s yet another pretext for you to lecture westoids and flaunt imaginary highground
>>218275227mfw a benis measuring expert from Puccia is speaking
>>218275117I'm not tired because it's a free holiday
>>218275117why did commies do it
>>218275528to drive a wedge, obviously
>>218275250your country is secular, religion is a private matterwhy should i care about your complex of inferiority, celebrate it whenever you want to make yourself feel more "evropean", you might even get a pat on the head for being a good boy
>>218275609I’m not the one flexxmaxxing with irrelevant differences and insisting everyone else is wrong
>>218275734you seem tense lil bro, is the flexxmaxxing in the room with you?
>>218275803the dishonesty is certainly here in this room, Dragan
>>218275609very ironic post given that the difference comes from the state trying to impose it's own rules onto the church
>>218275117that's so weird
>>218275117why did they just delete countries out of africa?
>>218275881it does not, its just that for a lot of people the gregorian calendar is associated with religious extremist wars, genocides, atlantic slave trade and other "un-christian" things that they dont want to be associated with
>>218275988poor poor african slaves third world stands united
>>218275117I heard Ukraine switched to normal Christmas after Russia invaded as a form of assimilation to the west/resistance to the east, which is just pretty funny to me like wtf who said you could just change when Christmas is like Santa's schedule is going to get all messed up.
>>218275988>religious extremist wars, genocides, atlantic slave trade>unchristianyou obviously haven’t read the bible>they dont want to be associated withnot beating the holier than thou flexx allegations
>>218276032its just practicing what jesus taught, if you dont see it i dont know what business you have discussing when christmas should be celebrated
>>218275117I know that we're run by cucks but I expected better from Bulgaria and Romania.>>218276045Holy shit that's just pathetic.
>>218276089Οκ, πουτινάκι
>>218276080calendar has nothing to do with those things doebesides commies dictating the church when to celebrate christmas after trying to exterminate them for about 2 decades is absurd
>>218276045>>218276089Educate yourselves, retardshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendarhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Constantinople_(1923)
>>218275117Don't care, but 7th January is just better day for Christmas since it's usually much colder and snowier than 25th december
>>218276186Γεια σου ρε χρήστη εικονικού ιδιωτικού δικτύου!
>>218276299they did what they thought was best for their people, and considering they turned an illiterate agrarian backwater into a space faring superpower in 20 years, i dont see why not to trust them more than a pedophile in the vatican
>>218276489what happened to christmas being a private matter? can't resist kissing the long gone boot?and even the worst pope is still magnitudes better than the actual commie butchers of the 1920s and 30s
>>218276419ποιός, εγω;;;;;;;;ποτέ στην ζοή μου
>>218276382It starts snowing from October everywhere above Krasnodar
>>218276617this just shows me you know nothing and are just spewing propaganda
>>218276745you are the one who can't even be consistent with yourself
Why do you care about January 7th?
>>218276342>Following the 2022 invasion of its territory by Russia, Ukraine officially moved its Christmas date from January 7 to December 25, to distance itself from the Russian Orthodox Church that had supported Russia's invasion.[223][224] This followed the Orthodox Church of Ukraine formally adopting the Revised Julian calendar for fixed feasts and solemnities.[225]
>>218276831he’s self-contradictmaxxingyou wouldn’t get it
>>218275117Why don't you change it then? And who cares, really?
>>218277278the clergy will call me heretic and anathemize me for a mere suggestionand will also lecture me on how their dogma™ is holier than everyone else’s dogma
>>218277004We wanted to change the date years before that, as both Dec 25th and Jan 7th were public holidays. The full-scale invasion was just the final argument for the church to switch over.
>>218277278>Why don't you change it then?Because who changes a birthday ?Christmas is about a birthday, that happens once a year.
>change the christmas date to own le russopucciansBut yes, there are two sides of this coin, there should be no pride in having christmas be on the 7th. Anyways I think Jesus would call most Christians retards. They've turned his teachings into a profit incentivised circus.
>>218277726>because who changes a birthdayPope Gregory, the guy whose calendar the Catholic church adopted
>>218275117never hearda this shite in me lifepromptly jettisoning this info from my brain and returning to that state
>>218277747And that's why orthodox celebrate on the 7th, the actual day.
>>218277726It's not about the date itself, it's about the calendar the church uses.
>>218277974And use the gregorian calendar for everything else
>>218275117Christmas stopped being fun in recent years
>>218277733russian ministry of church affairs, branch of russian fsb, also known as russian orthodox church, blessed this disgusting, pointless anti christian land grab of a war, so why would anyone in ukraine other than people who support russia, follow this "organization"
>>218277653based
>>218275117using the julian calendar for christian celebrations is braindead and the fact that the catholic church is the only one that retained the correct date for the spring equinox proves that the eastern church is the schismatic one
>>218277653It's funny because adoption of Orthodoxy in Russia was funneled through Kyiv because Kyiv was the political center and a gateway to the Byzantines
>>218275117>Moldova celebrates it on the 7th but Romania doesn't???
>>218275117Wait...greeks dont do it like other orthodoxers?
>>218279258Why do you guys think you're any different from them kek.
>>218275117I don't see what's the issue or why we have to change it for somebody else's convenience just because I don't go all merry Christmas at the same time as the westerners but a little later is hardly something to brood over. Shamefur disurpay.>>218280563> same-sex marriage is legal in Greece as of February 15, 2024Greece is a joke in general. Although its funny how the globohomos thought they could change or distort the practice of orthodoxy in Georgia. People unlike in Europe take that pretty seriously here, it's one of the reasons we're still Christian and if Muslims couldn't do it, sure as hell the globohomos can't do it either they're a joke in comparison.
>>218279848moldovans are following either Romanian Orthodox Church or Russian Orthodox church. The former celebrate Christmas on December 25th while the latter on January 7th
>>218276061>you obviously haven’t read the bible"De doctrina christiana III.11-12: “Matters which seem like wickedness to the unenlightened, whether merely spoken or actually performed, whether attributed to God or to people whose holiness is commended to us, are entirely figurative. Such mysteries are to be elucidated in terms of the need to nourish love.”"If you don't follow the rules of Jesus in the new testament, you're not a Christian
>>218276089you fucking retard the commies forced the slavs to celebrate christmas on jan 7th
>>218275117Didn't Ukraine also celebrate Christmas in january? or did they change it because of the current thing? giga cucked if so
>>218275988One of THE most retarded posts I've ever read in my entire life. Unsurprisingly, it's from a Monkeydonkeyan
>>218283251Btw the Georgian Orthodox Church had always used the Julian calendar BEFORE the Russians even came here and simply continued doing so. There was no reform to follow or reject just continuity of tradition.Also sometimes people bring up the case of war with Russia its really funny.They know we had wars with Romans and Byzantium too right? And so what?Did Ottomans or Safavids suddenly became Christian because they had a war with each other? Did one of them suddenly become Sunni and the other Shia because they had a war? See when people claim Georgia kept the "old" calendar because of this or that external power, it’s the same flawed logic as long standing religious traditions don’t suddenly change as reactions to political conflicts. At least in Georgia it simply does not.
>>218275117Okay
>>218277653will you stop drinking vodka and whoring out your women cause russians do it too?
