"I would like to start a thread here on the freep and get educated with the matter, but I know there already was one not too long ago from the link you gave me before - except I lost it...if you get the chance, could you please post it for me again? - Once I read it, I'll probably have at least some thoughts to post and perhaps that might be a more opportune time to start the thread."
That thread ran on for over 300 posts. It was really a spectacular discussion. I have it on good authority that at least one Orthodox hierarch lurked throughout the whole thing. I'll try to find it and have pinged Kosta50, Tantumergo and Vicomte13 to see if one of them has it so one of us can send it to you, but on one condition.:) Get the more traditional Roman Catholics involved. I sincerely believe that much of the vitriol we Orthodox receive from traditional RCs on these threads comes from a basic misunderstanding of what the Orthodox Church is and what we believe. Have a great Thanksgiving! God Bless all of you and your families!
Sounds like a good deal to me - I'll do what I can to get 'em all involved!
And a great Thanksgiving to you and everyone too! God Bless!
We could indeed re-initiate a discussion of Catholicism, of the Roman and Eastern varieties. The more that we discussed these things, the more I realized that we really are the same in everything important to me. I also realized that there are many of my co-religionists who have markedly different attitudes from my own. It would be good to continue the dialogue.
