My most controversial opinion on Orthotwitter is that I believe there are intermediary spirits aside from angels and demons that were neutral in the war on heaven. What we know as fairies, gnomes, etc. many of the beings from folk lore. This was common belief in the Middle Ages.

Orthodox Catholics and Roman Catholics often talk past each other, refusing to act in good faith by understanding the others paradigm. Rather they apply their own paradigms logic to the other. This is a trick of demons. You must act in good faith.

The “dark ages” is an enlightenment era propaganda term. Truly we should actually be referring to the Middle Ages as “The Medieval Synthesis” as it truly was the culmination of Western society into a coherent whole. Everything since then has been a degradation.
