I've heard that Russian Orthodox churches in the USA are not what they are in Russia, and are actually fine because of being removed from the hierarchy and kinda marginal, but, eh, manliness is anyway not what Christianity is generally about.

And "traditions" are no more ancient than in a Catholic church they can find or an Assyrian or an Armenian one.

Anyway, those stereotypes. Russians are very masculine to be a country whose economy mainly consists of selling oil and gas and other resources, some tech sector due to remnants of Soviet education and building nuclear stations. With prison population rivaling that of the USA. That's an "/s".

EDIT: And the article author knows about Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox being different things, but misses the clue and thinks they are variations of the same. Eastern Orthodox and Catholic are united by being, as it's sometimes called, Chalcedonean Christianity. Oriental Orthodox is all that split at that point, but not earlier.

A younger brother of mine just baptized into an Orthodox church nearby. Is this the same thing?

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

If your younger brother watches a lot of right wing rabbithole type content it's entirely possible that he's on the same pipeline, yes.

"But in the past year-and-a-half our congregation has tripled in size."

Still the same 2 dudes, I deliberately misleading you with that phrase and was referring to bicep circumference.
