    well, I spoke to you a while back and you didn't follow through with the debate with us. You're wasting you're time with Micheal lofton and the others, they're not catholics but romanists, pseudo-catholics, they don't understand the dogma of Rome the highest See and apply "infallibility " only to the roman see, not knowing that other bishops and popes may speak infallibly, hence we call them romanists, and hence why they can't debate to defend their heretical AntiPopes and rape idolatrous cult. That's why I told you to elaborate your position to me as I explained to you the 896 A.C. sede vacante and the 11th century great apostasy in which all sees have been vacant, from Rome to Constantinople, Rome was the last to fall after Constantinople. But I don't know what happened you dissapeared on me.

    And no, a latter Roman Pope, which you would have as believe was Pope John, cannot overturn an infallibly ratified synod, especially not the one where the eastern orthodox bishops were present [not to be confused with your heretical apostate eastern unorthodox greek and russian sects]. According to your logic, the first great synod of Nicaea may be overturned. Both the roman pope and the eastern popes have infallibility but the final decision and infallible judgment belongs to the Highest See [not to be confused with the pseudo-catholic romanist sects today]

    also, before you debate, get your homework ready, because you're going to have to render an account for your own apostasies, like the abandonment of the apostolic sacrament of public penance and 1 strike policy for your invalid sacrament of confession in a box where criminals are invalidly absolved over and over again; and "baptism of desire"; and "limbo"; and idolatry; and much more.

    @ubipetrus3882 I appreciate you clarifying the matter. We most likely can not debate then, as I'm totally against the mainstream romanist pseudo-papacy and will never defend it as the catholic point of view, though i regard myself as orthodox and catholic, titles which are inseperable. Not many know about the 896 sede vacante and the 10th century dark age, where no one could work out who was the last Roman Pope. So yeah I wouldn't expect the romanists to understand our debate if we were to debate, and I won't be defending them, for the Roman highest see dogma is inseperable from the dogma of infallibility in eastern popes and bishops and general and local synods, which the romanist "papacy" rejects. I can't show you an image or screenshot of you "ghosting me" as it's been a while. But for all i know, maybe you did reply and I can't see it, it's been way too long. All good, thanks for your honesty.

    All due respect, you didn’t refute anything on disunity due to a lack of a Magisterium. Essentially, from your perspective each area is responsible for it’s own dogma. You didn’t list any centralized authority that all could appeal to. You said that local synods could possibly come up with a local agreement. That is all well and good but there is no central beliefs on many things. Like rebaptism (often occurring in Orthodoxy), some believe in Toll Houses, some don’t etc. in addition, I read and watch Orthodox sources all the time and the Council of 2016 is often an example of the disunity that can result. Four Patriarchs didn’t attend and many didn’t acknowledge it as authoritative, so what did it accomplish? Antioch is in schism with Jerusalem, Moscow in schism with Constantinople, not to mention the mess with Ukraine. Protestantism fails bc everyone is essentially their own Pope, I think orthodoxy suffers from a similar problem in that each Patriarch (or even Bishop) is essentially a Pope and that creates almost as many problems. How can anyone solve anything if they won’t even meet to have an ecumenical council? It results in what happened in 2016, recognized by some but not by others. I’m not saying the Papacy is perfect either but I can see how that system is more efficient.

    What's your evidence it isn't William refusing and evading? Last I heard, after refusing a moderator and then suddenly agreeing to a moderator (and then claiming his mother was in the hospital so he couldn't discuss despite him replying to emails almost immediately) he is refusing a moderator. It's hard to keep track because he's all over the place and doesn't seem to think he's held to the standards of what he just agreed to even an hour before. That being said, whenever he wants a moderated debate on a third party channel, we can enter back into a discussion on that - IIRC, Militant Thomist said he would host it on his channel and moderate. I recently reached out to Albrecht's friend James (the one with a newspaper on his head) and that was an exercise in futility: he refused a one on one moderated debate in a typical intro, rebuttal, cross examination, closing model claiming it would favor me (yes, Ubi) and demanded it be a two on two debate. I countered that we could do him and Albrecht against me and he refused and that is where it ended. With RC apologists, they typically look for any reason to avoid debating even going so far as for loopholes once they've (often times accidentally) agreed to it but they still try to talk like they're tough and ready to hit the mattresses.

    Considering each comment plays the algorithm in the video poster's favor and considering some comments then garner even more comments, which often times erupt into arguments that run dozens of comments long, each of those comments in turn playing the algorithm, banning commentators whom you disagree with is a poor method for getting your videos out there.

Once you break down their assertion and show that other communions, such as the OC have a universal magisterium, that can't "sum random Orthodoxes done did say this and sum random Orthodoxes done did say that" and much of their apologetic just falls apart. There are a few reasons why they do that, primarily their main selling point on the RCC is clarity of dogma - if you can sell that, you don't necessarily need to prove the dogmas correct, just that they are clear.

Or in Private Confession the Christian should confess only those sins that they know about and worry them? Or is it the large catechism that's ragingly heretical, the sermons series through the small catechism aimed at the parents? That the lazy and arrogant neglect the 10 Commandments, Creed, Lord's Prayer, Baptism, Holy Communion, Private Confession?

God have mercy on them I hope that they learn what their church really teaches and repent of their heresies. I also pray that they return to the True Orthodox Catholic Apostolic Christian Church, which they obviously defend What they are defending here is Eastern Orthodoxy wrapped around a paper called 'Roman Catholicism'

    ☦️Good, I will watch it now. The See of Peter both according to the Gospels & Church history is to have supremacy, that us special previleges, but in no way it was ever infallible, that is unbiblical doctrine, an innovation. The Pope always was a part of the whole & had to have the concent of the Patriarchs. Fiducia Supplicans & all those modernist corruptions, perversions, deviation, contradiction with Church fathers & other abominations regarding modesty, are the ultimate proof, that Rome cannot function, unless it is in check - *by the eastern part* (as it was always been the case in antiquity).
