No, they have a slightly different structure, I will explain. But first note they are not compromising on or even considering homosexual unions. I find these latter developments with respect to the Roman Catholic Synod to be very disturbing. My hope has been that the RCC would make a strong and inspiring statement in opposition to the homosexual normalization movement that is sweeping western societies. But it seems there is a lack of courage and that is disturbing.

For the Orthodox Christians, it is true that their priests are allowed to marry and keep families. But to advance in their Church to say Bishop the neophytes must be accepted into their monasteries and train to become a Monk. Orthodox Monks are not allowed to marry just as in the RCC. So the higher ranks of the Orthodox Church are similar to the RCC.
