>totally ignoring he said any bishop who permits abortion would be condemned, and just ignores the example showing that doesn't happen
>totally ignoring that CURRENTLY abortion is currently permitted (IVF, abortifacient contraceptives are abortions) widely
>evangelization just consisted of going to places your political borders expand to (because the church is an extension of the political body) the principle ways eastern orthodox have evangelized is being refugees and taking refuge in other countries, or the country taking over another one and orthodox spreading there. Alaska was russia when the orthodox went there, going to a different part of your country just makes the point for them evangelization is just political.

I also asked for your specific practice of confession, I want you to state it explicitly not how the church in general but YOU (because EO's have such a vague pointless view of confession you just stating it will make my point, for being one of the great sacraments it's basically an after-thought (because of the state compromise undermining it))

Things like invalid baptisms and people just not being baptized are not small things you can just handwave, as I said either you are doing sacrilege or unbaptized people are taking communion.
The orthodox can't clarify these things because they don't have an actual authority like the Pope, and they are all bickering children making councils fails because of some kings bones from 800 years ago and other stupid political disputes.
Oikonomia is a post-hoc justification of how they justify the deep fundamental contradictions with no way of actually justifying them. Let's not get into the communion chains where half the churches are in communion with one but have broken communion with the other in 10 different contradictory ways so there basically isn't even an intelligible way to talk about what the "eastern orthodox church" even is.

The entire thing is just a farce.
