P.S. Another question I might throw in ... We know that an Eastern Orthodox who becomes Catholic is automatically enrolled (by default, although there can be exceptions) in the corresponding Greek Catholic Church. But what if he or she was Latin Cat

Well you can bet that a lot more Greek Catholics and Orthodox for that matter understood more Slavonic because of its closeness to their ethnic languages than Roman Catholics understood Latin. From what I experienced growing up no one understood any

Well, you do have to admit, though, BenjaminRH, at least San Diego does have consistent weather throughout much of the year. I guess you could say that with Holy Angels BCC there, and the 72 degrees and sunshine almost everyday, it might as well be

This conversation reminds me of the wipes near the grocery carts.......germs, you know. How many people sanitize the money before putting it in your wallet? It goes through many hands, you know....maybe even drug addicts and pushers....and pimps

Cities have their benefits. I enjoy San Diego for its weather and its cultural entertainments. But cities also seem to be a breeding ground for social and spiritual chaos. IMHO, from studying history, a key characteristic of a Free People is the cap

I think the Churches should convene a council to discuss the ecclesial separation. The various disparate Protestant denominations should be invited to explain their reasons why they continue on as individual units. I definitely think the vast denomi

Some questions, as someone sitting on the fence between Orthodoxy and Catholicism: 1. If Rome was always Supreme, did the early Bishops of Rome appoint the bishops of other dioceses? 2. Why were early councils called by and presided over other bish

Doesn't that simply reflect the ancient Pentarchy? Their was no single head of the Church, yet they were all united. The Orthodox Church is comprised of national churches united by the One Faith. *Catholic with Orthodox sympathies* Originally Post

Is it not the mission of the sui iuris Eastern churches to disappear? I don't mean that rudely, but won't the Eastern Catholic Churches "melt" into the Orthodox Church when there is true unity again?

Why are you concerned Bob ? For the last goodness knows exactly how many years, we have all Received the Body and Blood of Our Lord God and Saviour this way. Have you ever heard of any huge outbreaks of disease as a result of Receiving in this way

Yeah, okay, maybe I was overexagerrating there, you're right...maybe this hasn't been done. But at the same time, there should be some sanitary issues involved with receiving either by chalice or by spoon, maybe not by wiping, even though in the RC,

I remember, back in the 90s, some of my college friends (all Latin Catholics -- indeed, I don't think any of us had much understanding of Eastern Catholicism at the time) would joke about (none of them were actually considering doing this of course)

I heard that they'll use Brenton's "Septuagint". If so, that would be quite sad.

During Pascha, Father would sing "Christ is Risen" the first time in Slavonic, because he knew that nobody would mistakenly join him. Shortly after he arrived, he said "Christos razdajetsja!" and the vast majority greeted him wit
