Throughout this series we have seen how remarkably similar the devotional meditations of the Latin and Orthodox Churches are. But here we see a view of death which is distinctly Western. Interestingly, this perception is evident in many Russian Orthodox writings since, say, 1800.
What is the difference of which you are speaking?
And why would the Russian Orthodox accept the same view as Western theology on death where others rites of orthodox might not?
I guess I need educating. Maybe you could post a thread on the subject.
