    Canonical penalties

    I imagine (hopingly) that the society afforded such spiritual support, so that penitents were able to bear the task of these rules.

    Disturbing and Once Again, Another Grave Error Via the GOC Archbishop

    my priest is gluten intolerant. I'll have to ask him, but as far as I'm aware, the prosphora bread is the usual sort.

    The "Orthobro" Movement Makes Orthodoxy Look Bad...But Are They Heretical?

    Nothing new. We've all been there. Some of us had better guidance than others.

    St. Euphrosynos Taverna and Ouzeri (another one!)

    best metal band of the '90s? I assume you mean the 1890s, in which case, it undoubtedly is Sousa. Now if we're talking the '60s, Wagner all the way. Verdi was active at the time but I find him hit and miss.

    Bilocation, stigmata and other Saints miracles

    Outrageous (though not surprising) St. David of Wales famously denounced Pelagius at the Synod of Brefi. The site of which proved perhaps the most superfluous of miracles. Whilst preaching, the earth arose beneath him so people could see him better...in Wales. If there is anywhere which has no...

    Bilocation, stigmata and other Saints miracles

    as a general rule, if you experience a miracle, be extremely cautious. On a jollier note, I related to a friend how at the paschal vigil there was a great rumbling noise like thunder when the holy fire appeared.

    Holiest places Reader Joseph (Gurney) has seen…

    the cathedral is the great shrine of St. David, and contains his relics. Nearby is the shrine of his mother, St. Non. Definitely worthy as a place of Orthodox pilgrimage

    Holiest places Reader Joseph (Gurney) has seen…

    it was the intended site for St. David's College, but that was moved to Lampeter when land was granted by land owner of the castle field, John Harford.

    A new Cathedral ?

    A fairly common misapprehension that 'cathedral' means 'big church'. Yes, it is simply the place of the seat (kathedra) of the bishop. The cathedral of Hong Kong (Greek) is a two roomed office in a skyscraper building. Conversely, 'Westminster Abbey' is not a cathedral although stylistically it...

    Widowed nuns?

    There are some wonderful precedents for widows who join religious societies. Anglo-Saxon history is full of them
