Don’t forget the FBI targeting Catholics under the “catholic” Biden. There’s a reason Greek orthodoxy is getting a massive revival right now and it has everything to do with the incompetent, weak, anti Christian rhetoric from the supposed leaders of Christianity. Hell the only thing the Catholic Church has done in the past decade is profit off illegal immigration and make an anime priestess.
Yeah, it's interesting because the US was never an Eastern Christian country, but since mass migration in the early 20th century from Eastern Europe, there's been a lot of those churches that have held themselves together.
I feel like the next Great Awakening Movement is going to include a surprise surge in the Greek Orthodox church, not just Amero-Protestant Folkway religions.
Overall, I'm not sure what that means politically because Greek Orthodoxy has never operated in a truly Liberal environment. However, I think America is actually a natural fit for them because (unlike the Mongols, Soviets, Cossacks, and Ottomans) there basically no chance they will experience significant oppression or conflict. Obviously, the perfect fit is Protestantism and Revivalism, but the Eastern Orthodox church's desire to separate themselves from political power still fits well enough.
There’s at least one by me I’ve gone to occasionally because who wouldn’t want to go to a bake sale with some grandmas baklavas and Greek meat pies. What I find interesting is that the heavily Catholic Slavic peoples (poles/hungarians/ Czech) all venerate Saints Cyril and Methodius who were Greek Orthodox because they brought the precursor language for Cyrillic. Makes we wonder how much longer they’ll put up with a rogue Catholic Church.
Hopefully they'll put up with it shorter than the Catholics themselves.
Michael Knowles having to run apologetics for a Communist pope is embarrassing. At least with Protestants you can go: "Obviously the pope is a retarded communist."
My go to whenever I heard Catholics complain about the Pope doing anything is "Dont cry at me. My ancestors shot their way out of having to care what he thinks."
On that note though, you are seeing (at least in the US) signs that the religious aspect is not actually going away but is changing. Because studies show that the average American still practices and believes what would be seen as Christian ideals, but their trust in churches are declining. Which implies that we may see new Protestant doctrines pop up to fill the void that this data implies or people go to existing ones (like you said, Great Awakening style).
