Dioceses will have their own websites either by Google sites, Wix, or by attachment to the orthodoxchurchoftexas.org domain (ex: orthodoxchurchoftexas.org/dfw).

OCTX OFFICIAL ANATHEMA AGAINST SPAWNISM

El spawnismo es una secta digital que explota el lenguaje religioso para manipular a los niños. Bajo su juego de rol se esconde una intención depredadora. Corrompe la estructura sagrada y fomenta entornos que normalizan el daño psicológico.

Es una imitación retorcida de la reencarnación hindú, centrada en un logotipo —que en su día fue una mecánica del juego— y que ahora los depredadores reutilizan para incitar a los niños a marcar sus cuerpos con grabados o tatuajes. Esta profanación del cuerpo y el alma no es un acto religioso, sino un abuso enmascarado por un ritual.

Por lo tanto, si alguien se adhiere a este culto repugnante que destruye el alma, o lo defiende aceptándolo como una religión legítima, ¡anatema!

I have caught somebody trying to lure one of my parishioners into a "confession of sins" on Roblox Church. When I confronted him, he then proceeded to attempt to lure multiple people into a separate game, and then called me a religious hypocrite. He then left the game and joined a random game, according to the parishioner (who wishes to remain anonymous)

Young Orthodox men and women, please do not confess your sins to people online as they are most likely attempting to groom you.

THE INHERITANCE ARGUMENT

By His Eminence, Metropolitan John of the Orthodox Church of Texas

"Let it be known that the Church is the Body of Christ, therefore being the source of the following things: grace, salvation, Holy Mysteries, and Sacred Tradition. Therefore, anyone (such as Heresiarch Cyprian of Oropos) who attempts to say that these things proceeding from the Church which is the Body of Christ can be found outside of the Church, is disproven thereof by this, as you cannot have what comes from something if you cut yourself off from it. As the Russian Church Abroad has continued to say, the Church is ONE FLOCK, and that which proceeds from the Church is inseperable from the Church. Outside of canonical boundaries, there exists no such things which exist inside of canonical boundaries."

The Lone Star Synod is a legitimate Synod and we are legitimate Bishops with Apostolic Succession. If you feel that is not right, you are free to have that opinion.

The Holy Lone Star Synod of Texas and America and Abroad has just chosen to start using the Patriarch title for Archbishop John. This is due to the historical title not currently being in use as we need a Patriarch. Congratulations to His Holiness.
