I don't know, from your Post, maybe you want to convert to Calvinism? Maybe discuss your Faith in other venues if personalities are that bad? I'm not here to fight, but MarMema, while the Churches of Apostolic Succession are not the same, doctrinally they are similar, much more so than compared to Calvinism.

Conversion is NEVER the issue..TRUTH is ALWAYS the issue. The issue is not "litergical "vs "non litergical."..the issue is the truth of Gods word...

The Easter Rite was not as affected by the errors of Rome because they were removed from them.

Some of the things the Reformers fought were never part of the EO.

I believe the EO is between the Reformers and the RC. Doctrinally in some ways they are closer to the Presbyterians than the RC..in others they are closer to the RC's

BUT no one is asking any one to change churches...This is about rightly dividing the word of God.

Some of the things the Reformers fought were never part of the EO.

Thank you Rnmom.

Totus, I sense that you have no desire to discuss our deep and truly strong differences, as in your fairly long reply to me you did not once address either the links I provided you with or the statements I made about doctrine.
You would do well to re-read the statement above which Rnmom has made so well...

Your sarcasm in suggesting I convert was typical overall, along with the lack of dicussion about the issues, of the catholics here on FR. Attack, divert, use sarcasm, whatever.
Rnmom and I have had discussions about things in which we disagree, such as original sin, and have come away friends and with respect for each other. Probably because we simply discuss doctrine and Scripture, and are able to stay on topic with each other.

Mutual respect goes a long way. Mutual respect does not include, btw, statements that "we are the same church" about other churches, nor does it include statements made in extreme ignorance about the church of another being absorbed into your church soon. And it does not include implying that one who is posting is simply ignorant about their own faith - dismissal - a demeaning way to treat another.
These typical and highly consistent defense mechanisms have brought many of us, of all faiths here on FR, to serious concern about what is happening to the RC church.
There is a new attitude these days and it reeks of arrogance, pride, and delusion. Humility is your friend. May the Lord our God have mercy on you now and forever.
