Given that the Eastern lung of the Church does not allow female ordination and presumably has the same moral strictures against abortion and homosexuality that the Western (Catholic) lung has, why do the Orthodox get a pass from the enlightened liberal elite (moderate, welcoming) when the Catholic Church is constantly excoriated by liberals?
because we Catholics are a bigger target... Anyway, I think it also works well -- many Protestants are brainwashed to think Catholic=Eeeevil, so they find it easier to move to the Orthodoxy. Well and good, as long as they come to an Apostolic Church, this Catholic is happy. Only, they shouldn't bring their knee-jerk anti-Catholic attitudes to the EO Church (which has it's own political grievances with the West)

Rita Wilson is cradle Greek Orthodox and not a convert to the faith.
As a Greek I did find it odd that the Catholic inspired film 'The Exorcist' had the young Jesuit priest be an ethnic Greek.
