What is the Church’s and the councils’ view on

Why are non-Roman Catholics and non-Orthodox Christians so obsessed with wanting these churches to start ordaining women as priests? Why do these leftists, atheists, and people of other faiths have to meddle in the ordination of women? You aren’t even Christians; many of them hate Christianity. So, like, churches are autonomous religious organizations and shouldn’t give in to these people. It’s so bizarre to see them obsessed with this.

I don't know why, but some guy is saying that his parish won't let him talk about Buddhism, which has really upset him. I mean, what do these people think we are? Buddhist meditation in Buddhist spaces, just like Christians in Christian places. I apologize if any non-Christians are here and take offense. Buddhism has already criticized the idea of a Christian creator God. Like, if you want to practice Buddhism, practice it in a monastery or Buddhist center. If it were the other way around, Buddhists would be offended. Christianity is a monotheistic religion, not a syncretic one.

After the confusion caused by posts about universalism and universal salvation, I feel compelled to write this here. Universalism has already been condemned by the Nicene Creed of the apostolic churches, whether Catholic or Orthodox. The only churches that maintain universalism as dogma are the Anglican churches—some of them, the Unitarians, and the tiny church in Syria, which believes in a temporary hell.

Differences among people who hope that hell is empty, such as Hans Baltazar, do not make them universalists. He has a prayer that many non-Christian souls may be forgiven. This is tolerated by the Catholic Church, as is the idea that hell is empty of humans, though the latter is tolerated with reservations. Dogmatic universalism has been condemned since Origen of Alexandria. Writers such as David Bentley Hart have popularized a revisionist version of Christianity. Hart himself has stated that he is irreligious. In recent years, most universalists are liberals, non-practicing, or non-Nicene, such as the Unitarian Church.

That said, there is no need to worry about universalism. If any priest or religious leader in your church is a dogmatic universalist, report them or leave and join the Protestants.

Spending eternity suffering because you hate God must be terrible. Poor people. God must be sad to see this.

I don't know what to make of it—are they just tall people or giants?
