Re: Polish and Ukrainian bishops on same-sex blessings theophan 03/29/24 01:36 AM
Christ is in our midst!!

The Lord wondered "will I find faith on earth" at His return. The longer this goes, the farther apart the Apostolic Churches move. So much for the last half century or more of hard work and dialogue that had at is aim our eventual return to full communion. Seems it has all gone down with this one document.

One thing that stands out to me is that eventual communion will mean that no one makes a statement like this without consultation--a consultation that would have stopped it in its development.

I don't understand what you mean. Mortal sins CAN be forgiven without confessing to a priest.
Like, when you're about to die, and there's no priest available.

The Lestovka has a marker at the 12th, 50th, and 83rd steps. you just go around the desired amount of times for the service, then stop. If it tells you to do 150 bows, go around one and a half times.

Question on the Sacrament of Confession Bishop Titus 03/25/24 05:30 AM
Can mortal sins be forgiven without confessing before the priest? Are mortal sins only ever forgiven through confession in a church?
I've heard different explanations about this from Orthodox Christians. I'm also curious if Eastern Catholics have a legal view of forgiveness as do Roman Catholics. Hopefully, you all can enlighten me!

Bishop Titus,

We have a number of very astute members here who can answer your very open question. It may take several threads, though.

Question on Papal Infallibility? Bishop Titus 03/23/24 05:29 PM
Do Eastern Catholics embrace the doctrines of papal infallibility and papal supremacy? Is Vatican I binding on Eastern Catholics?

Differences of Doctrine Bishop Titus 03/23/24 05:15 PM
Hey, all! I am new to this forum and excited to learn from all of you. As a member of the Catholic Church, I am increasingly interested in Eastern Christianity. I have been reading Edward Faulk's book, among other sources. However, I do have a few important questions. Since I don't want to fill this post with too many questions, I will just ask one. Are there areas of doctrine where Melkite Catholics and Eastern Orthodox differ?
