A lot of that, I had to kind of just read and learn on my own.
They were dark.
That's all Voltaire.
That's all sort of an atheistic French revolutionary attack on what came before by design.
Well, I was really interested in medieval thought, scholastic theology in college in my 20s.
And so I was reading Aquinas and reading all these guys as I had all these atheist professors who were constantly debating with them.
I even did a public debate my sophomore year with the atheist professor.
So I would be reading all those guys, studying philosophy and history, and then debating with those guys and then coming to my own conclusions about that stuff through just reading.
So that led you to Orthodoxy.
Long story short, yeah.
Roundabout way, I went from traditional Catholicism in my 20s to eventually, I took about eight to 10 years to study Orthodox stuff pretty intensely.
So that would be, because I'd put a lot of time into reading the Latin church fathers.
So I was reading Jerome and Ambrose and
a lot of augustine's works and then i realized i've never actually read the eastern church fathers and if you get into church history in that first millennium that you talked about you realize that all the seven slash eight ecumenical councils of that first millennium they actually all had in the east they're all called by the emperors the business team they're not called by the pope
Certainly the Pope was either there or had legates there, so the West was represented.
But it was in its ethos, it was essentially Eastern and Eastern in its Orthodox theology.

St.
Cyril of Alexandria, St.
