Are Orthodox the Muslims of Christianity?

>While tanks and artillery have been Russia’s weapons of choice to project its power into neighboring Ukraine and Georgia, Mr. Putin has also mobilized faith to expand the country’s reach and influence. A fervent foe of homosexuality and any attempt to put individual rights above those of family, community or nation, the Russian Orthodox Church helps project Russia as the natural ally of all those who pine for a more secure, illiberal world free from the tradition-crushing rush of globalization, multiculturalism and women’s and gay rights.

>What role the new cathedral complex in Paris might play in this agenda will not be clear until it opens later this year, but those who have studied Mr. Putin’s methods predict it will serve as a megaphone for his take on the world.

>“This cathedral is an outpost of the other Europe — ultraconservative and anti-modern — in the heart of the country of libertinism and secularism,” said Michel Eltchaninoff, a French writer and author of “Dans la tête de Vladimir Poutine,” a book about the Russian president’s thinking.

>The complex is owned not by the church but by the Russian state, which beat out Saudi Arabia, Canada and other countries that had also sought to buy the coveted plot.

They're going to look awfully foolish when Francis heals the Schism and Rome is in charge of it all.

As in both Orthdox Christianity and Islam are both philosophies that stress traditionalism, conservatism, martial valor, and a refusal to kowtow to the modern neoliberal world?

Then yes.

>Francis heals the Schism
Francis is the weakest pope in the history of popes

This is cute, but nothing can truly stop globalization and degeneracy other than a major global war (and it's not like there's anything wrong with that stuff)

Spreading Orthodoxy isn't globalism too?

>when Francis heals the Schism
Just how do you expect him to do that? Do you realize how difficult it is for the Orthodox Church to change *anything* due the nature of decision making? Only thing that will ever actually bring everyone together enough to have a binding council is some serious heresy that has to be addressed.

Francis is good at making secular liberals happy, but he can't even get them to sign up and join the RCC. What's he going to say that's going to reverse the stance the Orthodox have held since the schism? Kumbaya?

The spread of religion is not usual applied to the term. It's more economic than anything although I could be wrong. If religion does count then globalization has been going on since time immemorial

Not unless you define globalism in a very loose sense. Globalism is generally understood at the modernist reaction to nationalism (which is also a modernist movement).

French nationalism based on liberalism, 'liberty, equality, fraternity', is being globalized by Russian thinking.

Its still globalism, bro.

Russia isn't nationalist, at least not in that sense. Russia is a federation of extremely different cultures and ethnicities, with some states mostly Christian, others mostly Muslims, others mostly Jewish.

Russian thinking is more anti-modernist.

OP you made a bunch of very stupid unintelligent statements in your thread.

>Implying


Feetlickers aren't christians, evenless those who suck muslim cocks.

>French nationalism
>based on 'liberty, equality, fraternity'
>based on liberalism

Pick one

The French Revolution is what started French nationalism.

>The French Revolution is what started French nationalism.

"""""Anglo"""""" """"""education""""""

Prior to the French Revolution, the linchpin of the country was the monarch. It was a question of loyalty to him. After killing him, loyalty to the nation filled the vacuum, and consequently the country's various different and conflicting cultures, dialects, law and measurements were made homogeneous.

>Prior to the French Revolution, the linchpin of the country was the monarch
t. clueless anglo who don't know about the fundamental laws of the Kingdom

It was the catholic faith.

>It was a question of loyalty to him

Nope
It was a question of blood

>various different and conflicting cultures,

Except the breton, the alsatian, and the flemish culture all others were french and didn't conflict in any way.

>dialects
more like a different pronunciation of some words.

> law and measurements
True.

>which beat out Saudi Arabia, Canada and other countries
What did the canucks wanted to do with it? Built a hockey stadium?

>It was a question of blood
When people thought of their "blood" prior to nationalism, it meant their family, their extended kinsmen at the most, but certainly not the entire nation

>nation doesn't meant nation

A nation(Latin : natio-nascere, to beget) is a group of people originating from the same ancestor, this definition never differed.

It would be more accurate to say that Russia is attempting to do what Saudi Arabia does ie use its wealth to influence religious minorities.

What makes it worse however is that Orthodoxy lacks the universality of Islam which means its far harder for Russia to have much control or influence.

The best hope they could have with this would to somehow get the unalligned Russian Orthodox Church in France back into the fold.

People outside the royal family did not think of people from hundreds of miles away as their own "blood", that I can assure you. Being a blood relation was taken very seriously back then.

>Orthodoxy lacks the universality of Islam
I wouldn't really say that, or else Russia would have been Muslim, not Orthodox, in the first place..

The France we know, in any case.

Any idea of french nationalism that may have existed before was beheaded by the revolution and replaced with new French nationalism.

Ancien Régim and Christendom BTFO.

Just a reminder that, yes, the Burka is banned in public buildings like schools in France, and so is the cross.

Blowing up suicide vests in daycare centers. Martial valor.

Fuck you, Ahmet.
