There are many here with more knowledge of the faith than I.
If I’ve erred, they will write me.
As for not wanting to hear what I do not want to hear, I’m perfectly willing to be corrected. It has nothing to do with what I personally believe and everything to do with what the Church teaches.
You have quoted dogma throughout the thread. The problem is that you’ve not quoted dogma that is actually pertinent to the issue being discussed.
You’ve argued the following.
1, that I believe that there are many ways to God, which I NEVER said.
2. you quoted the doctrine which explains why ecumenism along these lines is fruitless.
3. you argued that we are not to take communion with these folks because of these reasons, something which I am VERY aware of in my personal life.
You’ve yet to quote any reference to the Orthodox church as heretics and schismatics, which is a very serious charge.
So where is it?
Thus it can be seen that today the Orthodox Eastern Church is not merely schismatical, but truly heretical; for it holds primary doctrines in a different light.
Additional Heresies:
The Orthodox Eastern church's also teaches that the souls of the just will not attain complete happiness till the end of the world, when they will be joined to their bodies; and that the souls of the wicked will not suffer complete torture in hell until that last day. These are heresies against the doctrines of the Church. Besides these dogmas, there are still many other doctrinal points, such the monarchical structure of the Catholic Church,the role of the Sovereign Pontiff in this monarchy that it rejects, Limbo, purgatory, andthe indissolubility of marriage, to name but a few. These mentioned differences are more than enough to show that the “Orthodox” are not orthodox at all, but normally should be called heretics,
Thus it can be seen that today the Orthodox Eastern Church is not merely schismatical, but truly heretical; for it holds primary doctrines in a different light.
