Problems I think about the Eastern Orthodox Church

[DictatorCzar]

So i have been researching for a while. I found out that the Russian Orthodox Church martyred the last Tsars of Europe which were the Romanovs. Why though, they made dumb decisions, and because of them, almost destroyed the Russian Orthodox Church because of Russian communists. After the council of Florence, they were united with the western church, but then left. Because of the muslims and the Protestant reformation. Why does Orthodox Church make dumb decisions? Why can’t they just stay with the west. Are they at fault?

I think you need to do a lot more study of history—Church and otherwise. And perhaps not be quite so quick to decide an entire Church is “dumb.”

I’m pretty sure that Nicholas II was killed by the communists in the revolution of 1917. There are issues with Holy Orthodoxy, certainly, but, I think that’s a pretty weak argument.

The Russian Orthodox Church is supposed to be holy. They martyrs the romanovs but why? Because of the romanovs decision makings of the early 20th century, they almost destroyed the Russian Orthodox Church.

They martyrs the romanovs but why?

Do you mean: “They consider the Romanovs to be martyrs, but why?”

In a quirk of English, the verb martyr means to kill for religious reasons. It does not mean to witness, or to sanctify.
