“You should, because the consecrated Host is Christ and He is present for you to spend time with him in Adoration.”

sfa, I know your understanding of Orthopraxis is limited, but surely you know that we don’t reserve the Eucharist the way the Latins do.

“If you deny this you deny Christ presence in the Eucharist”

Do you think ANY Orthodox Christian denies the presence of Christ in the Eucharist? Now you’ve simply sunk into personal insults, sfa.

I don't profess to know this and I don't know how you can know that every single person who is a member of the Church believes in the true presence

Now you’ve simply sunk into personal insults, sfa.

There was NO personal insult intended,my friend.

Perhaps you spend too much time on free republic and are on guard against insults that are not there.

I'll pray for you at Adoration today

Vladimir Putin poses for holy pictures as Orthodox. Thus the answer is YES! I assume that most Orthodox believe in the Real Presence but the Russian Orthodox have (via the notion of vesting authority in a nation and rejecting actual universality) but the Russian Orthodox Church has paid the price of having all too cozy a relationship between the reds and its Russian clergy. I am less acquainted with the Greek Orthodox Church and others but these also resist universality.
