All right, listen, guys, I get it. Many of you are unable to financially support this ministry

because you're spending your cash in your lives on raising young children in the fear and

of this ministry that doesn't cost you a dime is by spending just a few moments leaving us a five-star

We hope you'll take the time to do so. Thank you so much. God bless.

If you join us in this three-part journey, you'll find that next week we're going to focus

on the primary distinctions between Eastern Orthodoxy on the one hand and Roman Catholicism

on the other. There are certainly similarities,
