I would say that the Reformation defiled the Temple of God, the Body of Christ,

Is this true for the Orthodox when they walked out? Remember, both the Catholic and Orthodox leaders excommunicated the other (although they did patch up their differences many centuries later). For the Orthodox this was OK because they don't believe in purgatory, but one has to wonder if the Catholic Popes had to sit in the neather-gloom until they patch up their differences. ;O)

Come back home, Harley.

LOL!! I've never left although some will say I'm "out-to-lunch". :O)

The leaders excommunicated each other, but not the communities in question.

The Orthodox believe in a third "place" of existence besides heaven and hell. You are merely trying to divide the Body with such talk.

Tell me, HD, what do the Orthodox believe happens to the souls? Do the Orthodox and the Cathlolics have memorial services? Do they believe that the souls get purified? Do they believe the souls are "uncomfortable?" Do they pray for the souls?

What's it to you how the Catholics and Orthodox worship, or how they pray, or what they believe? Are you here to learn or are you here to be a troll?
