What are Catholic Traditionalist opinions of Eastern orthodox Christians? If the ecumenical councils gave weight to Rome as has been stated I would be RC, but I don't see the evidence for it, not saying it is impossible.
God Bless

I honestly cannot say. I have had a hard enough time trying to keep my own head on straight and have spent little time researching the Eastern Churches.

I am aware that Papal Supremecy is one big issue that the Orthodox deny - as such, I stop right there since personal submission to the Holy Father is a defined dogma of the RCC and as such is non-negotiable.

Hopefully others can give a much better reply.

Not good. In fact, most often, downright ugly. I think the words "disobedient schismatics" are rather commonly used.

Welcome to FR.

Well, the Catholic and Orthodox Churchs have rescinded their mutual ex-communications and the Catholic church does not consider the Orthodox Churchs to be heretical. I did skim over the article, but don't see it calling the Orthodox heretical, only Protestants...
