I think is a wonderful alternative for Roman Catholics who want a more rigorous, more traditional church with basically the same rituals.

I guess Catholics aren't supposed to proselytize the Orthodox, but the reverse isn't true.

"Silence of the Roman Catholic Church on the attack on family values" ... what are you talking about? What planet do you live on?

We are all brothers in Christ. We stand before him with his glory in our hearts as one, as we pray for those who are still in darkness in the embrace of the false prophet of Mecca. Blessings to all and may the word of Christ go out to all the world.

Your point? :) I'm not an Orthodox yet... but I am thinking about it.

Something else, the CC is "THE CATHOLIC CHURCH!!!"... and their responsibility is greater than that of a smaller church with less resources or visibility.

IF THE Catholics themselves, would have been more demanding from he church, perhaps the CC would have been more proactive in cleaning the children abuses and facing up to the problem.

It is BEYOND my understanding... how the Catholic faithful can put up with what the CC did w/o getting angry... beyond me!

“I guess Catholics aren’t supposed to proselytize the Orthodox, but the reverse isn’t true.”

C, we don’t proselytize you guys. There is no need to and it would be highly inappropriate. There is, however, a group of former evangelical protestants here in America who converted some years back who felt that it was their calling to do just that. They’ve been slapped down more than once over this behavior but their spiritual arrogance, especially that of one or more of their priests, is truly astonishing. Many of them lurk around on Ancient Faith radio which is one of the reasons why its a site to be avoided.
