Every diocese is a local Church that is fully the Catholic Church unto itself.

Read Metropolitan Jonah’s work on primacy and locality to understand my point. He’s the prime bishop of the Orthodox Church in America.

I most sincerely wish you well, but I believe metmom would count it as ‘organized.’ If for no other reason than the creed.

It would be interesting to find out what makes a religion ‘organized’ in her view.

What is the minimal amount of organization, if any, that would be allowed in the Church of Metmom.

Is it organized religion if it ‘requires’ any belief at all? Would it be ‘organized’ if all had the same translation of the Bible?

If it has more than one member, is it organized? Requirements for members?
