Originally posted by Orthodox Catholic: Dear Zoe,
I think what Dan means is that if this group decided to become Orthodox, he would be happier with that than if they decided to remain Protestant.
In terms of grace etc., is there a difference between the Churches? Do they not have the same sacraments, the same Apostolic faith, the valid episcopacy from the Apostles etc.?
The division is really one at the top i.e. Pope and Patriarchs with what are surely by now minor differences in faith (which can be easily overcome with good will).
So if you were a heretic, for example, and came to me on your knees asking for guidance as to which is the fullness of the true Church, I would tell you that it is Ukrainian Catholic . . .
But if you wanted to join the OCA, I would say, "Oh, all right, if you absolutely must . . . Just get up from the floor, Zoe. . ." 
Alex Is not the question of how doctrinal truth is confirmed/made known one of THE questions of faith? This is one of the largest and most important of doctrines -- and one which the EO and Catholics disagree on. It seems to me this difference is often down-played.

Dear Eric,
If you mean the papacy, then, yes, I agree that Catholics believe in the papacy.

Actually it's autocephalous and autocephaly, but autocephalic is sometimes used as it means the same thing as the first.
