Off the top of my head:
CATHOLICS have the Pope who is supposed to be infallible when he speaks ex-cathedra in matters of faith and doctrine
Orthodox don’t have this position.
Orthodox priests are allowed to marry and have families. Not so Catholic priests.
Very funny video. I didn’t realize that there were that many differences.
Ping!
“Hypostatic union with the beard.” LOL!
A few notes though:
The illustration of the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son is a reasonable interpretation of the words as spoken in the Catholic version of the Nicene Creed, but it is not what Catholics believe. The Orthodox mean that the Holy Spirit, indeed all of Creation has its ultimate origin with the Father, which is not clear from the out-of-context words spoken in their Creed, either. Catholics AGREE with that, however! “And the Son,” instead, reflects the biblical fact that it is the Son who sends forth the Holy Spirit.
STRAW MAN:
Father ——> Holy Spirit
Son -———> Holy Spirit
CATHOLIC FAITH:
Father ——> Son -——> Holy Spirit
Papal Infallibility
The Pope has no authority to invent doctrine. Francis apparently would like to make opposition to the death penalty infallible, but he can’t and he knows it and no reasonable theologian could mistake that. Rather, the Pope DISCERNS that there is no contradiction among the faithful and therefore AFFIRMS a doctrine infallibly.
Immaculate Conception
Wow. I’m aghast that the creator would allow Protestants to believe what they might well believe about the Orthodox regarding the sinlessness of Mary! Despite his simplistic denial of the immaculate conception, the Orthodox DO believe Mary is sinless! The issue of the immaculate conception gets bogged down in the nature of just what Mary is sinless OF, not that she is in fact sinless.
