i thought this was a Eastern Catholic forum but all i see are Orthodox and wannabe Orthodox. If i have joined the wrong forum please tell me because i was looking for a Eastern Catholics.
This site is Eastern Catholic, right? So why all the hate for the Most Immaculate Conception and denial of original sin or original disgrace (if you don't like calling it sin)?
I don't get it. Will someone please point me to a Eastern Catholic forum? or is this it?

Dositheos, I think before you question the premise of this forum, you should read the opening paragraphs of the user agreement. The Byzantine Forum welcomes all newcomers to our on-line community. This forum is mainly a community of Byzantine and other Eastern Christians who share a common historical and theological heritage. As such, it is an Eastern Christian forum and not specifically a Catholic forum. Roman Catholic and other Western Christians who have come here to learn about how we express our faith in Christ are warmly invited to participate, but we make clear that the primary purpose of this forum is to exchange information and ideas and not to engage in heavy apologetics. If you have come to overload us with apologetic quotes to test how "Catholic" we really are, please don't bother to register - that is simply not how we live out our lives of faith.
To truly understand who Eastern Christians are you must "come and see" for yourself by joining us in worship. The warmth and fellowship of our faith experienced in person cannot be described in any book. We extend a warm invitation to everyone to visit one of our parishes and join us in prayer. In IC XC, Father Anthony+
Everyone baptized into Christ should pass progressively through all the stages of Christ's own life, for in baptism he receives the power so to progress, and through the commandments he can discover and learn how to accomplish such progression. - Saint Gregory of Sinai

Jonathan Dositheos This is a place where all can come and meet each other and talk. We have Orthodox [ all varieties] Catholic [ all varieties again ] Protestants and in the past we have even had a Muslim member. On the whole it's a friendly place - and some of us feel very comfortable here. Anhelyna - a Catholic and proud to be one

Jonathan Jonathan, With all due respect if this is your way of showing Christian charity then perhaps you have joined the wrong forum. Your tone is rude, abrasive and insulting. As has already been suggested read the user agreement. Peace, Carole

Dear Jonathan,
I am an Orthodox Christian in communion with Rome, in case you were wondering.
From the tone of your posts, can we assume you are a graduate of the Moswcow Patriarchate's 'School for Ecumenical Relations'? :p
