Church History's Most SLANDERED Man

In all of Christian history, no man has been more slandered than Origen of Alexandria. The intention of this video is to exonerate him, and demonstrate that he was not only orthodox, but also beloved by many men who are highly respected by the Catholic and Orthodox. There is probably more to be said on this subject, I tried to address as much as I could, but I hope you can appreciate that this video was already 2 hours long. Although, I believe that everyone who is pursuing the truth with a pure heart, not strife, will easily assent to these evident assertions.
