Thinking about getting back to the Church. The question is, Catholicism or Orthodox?

I grew up and spent time in Orthodox churches, and I've attended a Catholic Church when my cousins visited town. I also disagree with the current Pope, and learned some of the history of the Vatican which repelled me. So naturally, I'm leaning towards Orthodox although I am open minded with what /his/ has to say.

Well there was a pretty good chunk of Poles but a lot of the population were Russians/Ukrainians, or at least what we would now call those people.

It's probably more comparable to something like the Holy Roman Empire, where you had a pretty even distribution of West Slavs, Italians, Germans, and Low Landers, rather than something like Ptolomeic Egypt where it was ruled by an extremely tiny minority of the population

But I think this is supposed to be a

You were Pole if you spoke Polish, you were Lithuanian if you lived in Great Duchy of Lithuania, this is how it worked back then.

Movies tend to focus on dramatization and entertainment than historical accuracy. Don't go into a movie expecting attention given to the finer points of Italian and Latin accents from Roman antiquity.

Also: not all Romans were Italian.
>>
>>2729061
Because Italian wasn't a fucking language at the time. And you're enclosing the definition of ancient Rome too short. There were more non-Italian Romans than Italian Romans in the empire as your pic shows.

no its an ubermeme, european scholastic monks were of the platonic tradition while islam ulama adopted the aristotlean approach. Aquinas is the one who popularized aristotle back to the west, although older church figures like pope sylvester II who traveled to al andalus to study and collect translated scrolls and many others.

>Moses asks God what he should identify God as to the oppressed Isralites.
>God says that he is/will be what is/will be

More poetically but less literally, God's response is "I am the future", and Moses, acting as a spokesperson for "the future", means that he has a way out for the people.

It's a euphemism, it was quite common among religions at the time to never utter or record the real name of your god, but to instead use euphemism. So for example we today talk about the Greek goddess "Persephone", which is not her name at all but rather a title, and Jews still won't write their god's name, instead using Adonai (lord).

Anybody have any good and unbiased books/documentaries on the KKK?
I'm seriously interested in this group from a ideologically neutral standpoint.

For the sake of the thread, are there any examples as to where the Klan did "honest" vigilante work, as opposed to just racist murder?

Not really, they were just butthurt southern dixies. That being said, the various iterations of the KKK (5 in total iirc?) are pretty fascinating. The first one failed hard and was widely condemned, it's the second one of the early 20s which grew immensely popular.

I know about the first Klan, Reconstruction-era Dixie and all that.
Second Klan had million of members and was just as strong in the north as it was in the South IIRC.

It's mission statement was "to shield the sanctity of the home and the chastity of womanhood; to maintain white supremacy; to teach and faithfully inculcate a high spiritual philosophy through an exalted ritualism; and by a practical devotedness to conserve, protect and maintain the distinctive institutions, rights, privileges, principles and ideals of a pure Americanism"
and all you ever hear about is the white supremacy bit.

I know for example in 1979 they fought a bunch of Communists, so they clearly had a political bent outside of white supremacy, and i wanted to see where else it manifested.
supposedly there was conflict between them and the IWW.
>>
Civil rights / Kennedy era Klan got shat on hard because its leader was basically a conman. When the congress hearings on klan's doings was on and klan leaders used same constitutional protections to not incriminate themselves as communists they lost nearly all support. Patriotism and fighting commies were a big thing for many klan supporters but they weren't any better than commies.

if i recall correctly, most of their casualties come due to forced conscription and little to no training. i mean, there is being badly trained, hastily trained, and so on, but in china it was more "here's a spear, now get out there"

i remember reading about the taiping rebellion in a book on them. at one point they were moving through hebei province on their way to the yangtze with about 60,000 people in their group and got BTFO in an ambush and were reduced to about 10-20,000 people. in a month of moving around the provinces they ended up with a new group of 80,000. in one month! bear in mind they were a radical cult too. thats how they got such extreme casualties
