/lit/ - Literature

I went to an Orthodox parish and almost converted when I was 15. it's all a bunch of fat liberals and former anglicans that just couldn't accept the papacy and got involved before the Anglican Ordinariate was made. It's the most cucked religion. Honestly if your going in because its "so trad" etc youd unironically do better not being religious, it's a false conversion you arent doing it for Jesus and also nobody in the Orthodox church is really based. It's all propaganda.

The visiting Bishop (wont name names but Antiochian) fell asleep during Liturgy. That's my experience with this shit schismatic sect and sums up the Orthorox experience perfectly.

When I was a catecuman before going Catholic I read a lot of Father Seraphim, he has a very simplistic view of the world as a monk and is very digestible. Although Orthodoxy is a silly larp and a blackmail of tradition.

Russian literature is far from being orthodox.
Read Leontiev to get the most orthodox thinker.

Everything that Russia produced literary after Peter the Great is full of heresies even for the schismatics themselves (Pushkin was occidentalist, Gogol was a weird mystic, Dostoyevsky had luck because he was friends with Pobiedonostsev, Tolstoï was excommuniated, and so on).

Just because the schismatics are so cucked since 1700s and even more since 1917 that they don't condemn extremely bizarre paganism, gnosticism, hegelianism, theosophy and other shits in their literature doesn't mean that their novellists and poets aren't themselves out of the original tradition.

Catholicism (or "papists", as they tend to call us like their Lutherian friends) at least made very clear what was and was not orthodox (and that, even nowadays when the clergy is sadly in bad shape, thanks to the voices of high-ranked clergymen but also to less-highly regarded Catholic groups like the SSPX).
