"The Orthodox Church have changed in substantial doctrine - the Catholics never have...perhaps the result of no parenting?"

????????????? Don't tell me you're one of those simple souls who believes the Creed was promulgated by the Council with the filioque! Heaven knows enough of your priests and missionaries taught that. Or are you referring to the ancient and patristic 19th century Romish innovations of the IC or papal infallibility? Or that we, in conformance to the Consensus Patrum, never adopted Blessed Augustine's singular notion of Original Sin? Or that we didn't submit to the pope of Rome when ordered to grovel by the Dictatus Papae? Oh, wait, how about because we don't have Eucharettes or altar girls or nuns playing vestal virgins in quasi pagan and very public services, is that it? I'm sure the Orthodox contingent here would just love to hear what "substantial doctrine" of The Church Rome thinks we have "changed". Change, b, is not something we are known for so hearing where we have changed from the likes of the kaleidoscopic Rome will be fascinating.

Kolo: I'm sure the Orthodox contingent here would just love to hear what "substantial doctrine" of The Church Rome thinks we have "changed". Change, b, is not something we are known for so hearing where we have changed from the likes of the kaleidoscopic Rome will be fascinating.

Strange indeed that someone would make such an allegation, but it will be intersting to see a learned reply from our bronxville expert. I would only like to mention that the biggest change in the Church in 2,000 years was made in 1964, and it's called the Vatican II. I guess for the crowd who think Church "tradition" began 45 years ago, the Orthodox would indeed seem to be out of synch!
