Any good Orthodox books for English speakers? I’ve seen Timothy Ware is recommended a lot, but I feel Orthodox Theology/Apologetics in English isn’t near as plentiful as in the Catholic tradition.
I love the idea of Catholicism, but try as I might I can’t get over how corrupt the Vatican is and the papacy in general.
If you have any resources that may help me with this I’d appreciate it and will watch/read whatever arguments you have, but, as the meme goes, I want to begome Orthodox.

I was watching a Bishop Barron podcast and he said that the church look favourably upon non-married clergy, but it isn’t essential.
If you’re not married/don’t have children, naturally you can devote more time to God, the Church and it’s mission.
But he says that he’s worked with many married clergy (those who were married and or had children before they became a priest)
I think it takes a particular kind of man to abstain from sex and marriage, it can be done, but is not easy. Especially today with so many alluring ways to sin.
