 Oh noes. I've fallen down an Orthodox or Catholic YouTube rabbit hole 😅 
 Definitely orthodox lol, check out fr trenhams series Rock and Sand 🤙 
 Oh, those go for a few hours. They'll have to wait, but I have added them to my play list. The thumbnail looks very familiar. I suspect someone has sent them to me before but I never actually listened.  
 Definitely take it in bite sized chunks, took me a week to get through them 🤣 
 There's only 2, right? I just finished them. Great summaries of large parts of protestant church history and a few new insights there for me. Thanks for the suggestion 😊 
 I SAID BITE SIZED CHUNKS! lol
Glad you liked them 🫂 
 Bite sized chunks probably makes sense but I don't do things in halves 😏

I was also aware of a substantial amount of how screwed up the reformation was and it's effects, so I didn't have much to stop and ponder. Seeing them from an Orthodox perspective was interesting still. 

I do think the priest wasn't always fair to protestants. He usually over generalised the worst attributes which don't exist in as greater degrees as his surety implied. But in group/out group preferences mean we see the worst attributes of each other's practices and bundle everyone with that label together. 🤷🏽‍♀️ 
 I absolutely agree with that point. He came out of the same reformed system I did, so his points were especially impactful to me, however I find that I am much more empathetic towards differing christian systems than he is 😅
