I apologize to my Portuguese/Brazilian friends here for denigrating their language in a recent exchange with some guy who was trying to lecture me on learning Latin. But I felt like I had to do it. I mean if you cannot string together a sentence in Latin, what are you doing LARPing as if you know what's better for learning it in my post

Retarded take; even I, a barbarian, can read and write Latin thanks to that method and LLPSI
Esse método é muito engraçado, a ideia é democratizar o latim com historinhas enfeitadas mas isso é impossível, latim é para um grupo seleto. Se você não sabe de cor as 60 desinências dos 6 casos das 5 declinações e muito +. você não sabe latim. Serve o mesmo para o grego.

Good afternoon. After finally having a proper look, I would like to recommend today the critique of Archpr. Alexander Schmemann’s For the Life of the World published by HTM in Jordanville last summer past. It’s quite thorough despite its about 100-page length, summarising certain philosophical-theological trends of the late 19th-20th cent., after which we will clearly see not only the incompatibility with Orthodoxy the ideas within them & their figures, but also their immense negative (and tangible) influence on Archpr. Alexander himself and other figures of his “epoch”—which are found to be far more consequential than the ofttimes superficial “Latin influence” they derided in holy hierarchs and saints.
