It appears, to me that, while Kosta has "warm" regards for the Orthodox Faith, he has rejected the Orthodox Faith also
That is a pretty accurate satement, Old Reggie, as long as you understand that my "'warm' regards for Ortrhodoxy" are based on the historicity of the Eastern Church as the refelection of the original Church, and not a personal preference. I believe I understand your belief that the Eastern Church is considerably more faithful to the "early" Church than the Latin variety. In fact, I am in total agreement.
However, I am of the belief that no Church is truly faithful to the Church of the Apostles. The passage of hundreds of years allowed for many legalistic "betterments" to the original practice.

Perhaps. But we Orthodox are a simple people and do the best we can with what God has given us. :)
