The homosexual agenda has a vastly weaker influence on the Orthodox Church than it does on the Roman Catholic Church, which isn't on your list since they're not part of the WCC. One of the reasons for this is the healthy state of the theology of marriage as a sacrament within the Orthodox Church. There is no movement for female priests within the Orthodox Church. Also, most Orthodox priests are married.

Hey, guy, what's up? I wouldn't say that the theology of Marriage is in an unhealthy state in the Catholic Church.

It is an interesting thought experiment, but I think that if the positions were reversed, and Orthodoxy was the dominant Church in the West and in this country we would have seen the homosexuals and other "progressives" attack that Church.

The Catholic Church, as a small minority would likely be in the stronger position and not a target for takeover.

Hi SD!

I can certainly see your point. The RCC is certainly a target because of it's influence. I also don't think that faithful RC's (which certainly includes a fair amount of the RC leadership) are in any way to blame for the attacks of Satan on their institution.

OTOH, I can see the potential for an argument that RC intellectualization of ethical arguments presented an opening for gays. That, and of course the celibacy requirement, which self-selects those who are more at risk for the sin of homosexuality. But, I should save this for the religion forum!
