Catholicism has Augustine, Pascal, Dante, Hopkins, Waugh, Dryden, Chaucer, Broch.Protestantism has Milton, Herbert, Donne, Yeats, Browne, Sterne, Ricoeur.Judaism has Benjamin, Bloch, Celan, Stein, Zukofsky, Heine, Roth, Bellow, Kafka, Proust, Zweig,Orthodoxy has ?????Hmmmm. I can't think of anything. What does Orthodoxy have? Also Dostoevsky is adolescent literature so he doesn't count. Is Orthodoxy intellectually bankrupt?
The Bible

>>17593513Orthodoxy has Palamas (pbuh) who retroactively, neoactively and proactively refutes everyone you named (and more).

>>17593593Is the essence energies distinction polytheistic?
aren't you assholes tired of tribalism
>>17594483No
>>17594483No, it’s the height of mental stimulation for their pea brains to run through the same list of outgroups every day to give themselves the only dopamine shot in their miserable lives, even if it’s only in the form of fear and hatred.
>>17593513Orthodoxy has Dostoevsky.
>>17594539I just wanna go back to before this place was ruined, man

>>17592228
>>17596341Tolstoy wasn't Orthodox? I'll need some proof bro.
>>17596412Tolstoy wasn't exactly a hardcore Christian, he didn't believe in the Resurrection or in any of Jesus' miracles.
>>17593540literally a jewish lawyer
>>17593513proof the west is already burnt out
>>17593513>Judaism>Proust
>>17593513>Chaucernot catholic
>>17596942They were ethnically Jewish but it's weird to list them since they weren't religious Jews while the other 2 categories are religious ones. They were Jews who didn't practice Judaism.
>>17597680and proust was only half, wasn't he?
Reminder Pascal's pensees were on the index of forbidden books.Catholicism is a business first, a religion at best third or fourth.
>>17597680Proust had a typical French Catholic upbringing, from what I've read. He doesn't seem to have practiced that much as an adult, though.>>17597692Indeed, on his mother's side.
>>17597703Every time I read Pascal's Pensees I start to half-seriously believe in the Christian God. Idk what it is about that text, just the way he wrote it maybe, but it's so incredibly convincing and alluring.
you forgot the most important Catholic writer
>>17593513> my religion has more books than you so it’s betterWhy aren’t you a Deluzian-Lacanian-Foucaultian progressive then OP. Just be a Marxist. Make leftism your religion. There’s way more books, I promise.
