Hi everyone, I am the blogger in question that Oren from Otaku Catholic is speaking about. There are some major misrepresentations going on and so I just wanted to clear one up - I never said it was ok for me to become Orthodox from the Catholic perspective. Other Catholics have told me it is, but I have greatly struggled with it all. I know what the Church says on it - Unam Sanctum and all the rest of it. I am under no illusions.

Oren, I appreciate your great concern, but please do not misrepresent me. I am going through a hard enough time as it is, and to be misrepresented is only causing me more pain. I appreciate all of your prayers in the meantime.

Humbly,
Jason

Prayers will be said. 🙂

What’s causing you to want to convert?
 
Also, I have nowhere said that Pope Francis is a modernist,!! I love Pope Francis. Oren, please, please please stick to what I actually say. There is no need to caricature me or misrepresent me. I have not said these things.

I am not interested in criticizing the Catholic Church - any critiques I have made are the same anybody might find on most Catholic blogs, concerning liturgical abuse and the like. It is NOT why I would become an Orthodox Christian.

If anyone actually wants to know what I have actually written, please go my blog and read it there.

And pray for me…
 
Sorry Oren, maybe that’s not what you said…
I’m in a rush and have to go to work. I’m just so upset at all this posting…it’s so hard, hard enough right now. I just need prayer.

I am well aware of all the things people are talking about, and if I am not, I am open to investigating. I am not afraid, but I am hurting immensely.

I’m begging you Oren, please do not add to my hurt. Pray, give me prooftexts, disagree, or anything else, but please don’t cause me more hurt than I am already going through.
 
One last thing…it is not because “the grass is greener” so to speak that I am discerning Orthodoxy - it has nothing to do, ultimately, with externals, tradfitionalism, or anything else. I constantly scrutinize myself and my motives. I am drawn to it. I will explain more in further posts on my blog, if I can get up the courage to do so.

Peace to all, and thanks for the prayers.
