I'm you.

Yeah, what's up?

Hey, Jay.

So are there any like schisms in more of a surface question in the Orthodox Church?

I mean there are schisms from the church and there can be points when certain patriarchs are out of communion

but schism is a formal declaration where some group ends up leaving the church and did they

i mean can they uh continue naming themselves as a orthodox church or well i mean yeah you can't

stop people from doing whatever they want to do.

So, yeah, every schismatic is going to say they're the true Orthodox.

Right.

So if you go to a church, how do you know if they...

You find out if they're a canonical Orthodox church or if they're non-canonical.

Okay. So you just, you know, is you hear me?

Yeah, what's up?

Yeah.

So how do you, how do you, how do you,

you just go ask or you look at the website to see if they're canonical or non-canonical. Alpine, what's up? We've got some more superchats. Guys, even want to support the stream.
