Just a hunch, as most RCC I’ve seen on FR have a problem with anyone who doesn’t submit to Rome. That being said, while there are some areas I am still hesitant about, I find myself much more in agreement with the Orthodox viewpoint than most other Protestant denominations. I’m still not sure where that will lead, but so far I have little to disagree with them about.

Granted, particularly as far as most Protestant /Evangelical /Fundamentalist/ Charismatic groups are concerned. The disagreement between the EO / OO and the Chair of Peter are of a totally different genus than that from our non-Catholic / non-Orthodox brethren.

Good. The EO, in particular, espouse orthodox theology that is in line with the teachings of Christ and His apostles. Although the doctrines might be expressed in a different way, the vast majority are fundamentally in agreement with the Latin Church (as an example, they may use the term "toll houses" while we use the term "purgatory", but the concept is still the same).

I’m still not sure where that will lead, but so far I have little to disagree with them about.

The angels in heaven will celebrate.

You surely did not intend to classify Orthodox as Protestant. Did you?
