That's okay, women hate you too

True

Because women give you cooties, that's why

Not at all. It's quite a rational reason to hate women

She a thot!

Yeah, but that's to be expected because homos are just men who act like women

No, exactly

Women are basically homos in female bodies

Literally

I'm just going to leave that right there

A 'degenerate' GK Chesterton smoking a cigarette

Hilaire Belloc smoking his pipe while walking around. What an idiot. I guess we can chalk it up to the senility that comes from old age.

No worries, m8

That's probably the only good thing that man ever said.

Also, the priests that have abused young men are an extremely small minority of the priesthood. There are higher rates of abuse by Protestant ministers and public school teachers. But, they don't have a large monolithic organisation that can be easily sued, so it doesn't get much press.

It's also worse among the religious leaders of the tribe. They keep running off to Israel to avoid prosecution

And thus we see that the modern obsession with having sex in order to have a good life has infiltrated even the Orthodox because they're using it as an example of why their priesthood is better

But that's to be expected from a group of people who ignore Christ teaching on divorce and remarriage

Oh definitely Spartan they're definitely just as sex obsessed as the Jews

Hence all the crowing about how their priests travel to have sex with their wives

*are able to have sex with their wives

Unleavened bread=the required bread for passover
Passover bread=the bread Our Lord offered when He said 'this is my body'

The wine is just a species. Both the host and the wine are turned to body and blood, so withholding the wine isn't an issue for people who believe in the real presence of Our Lord in the Eucharist, since you receive both body and blood even if you only receive one element

Also keep in mind that Catholics don't actually opposed leavened bread we just don't use it in our Western tradition it's present in most if not all of our Eastern traditions

*oppose unleavened bread

'You can pretend durrhurr the flesh contains blood'
All flesh contains blood. That's a natural state of flesh in general. When an animal is butchered, they don't drain water from the flesh. All bodies contain blood, it's a natural state of them. To say that they don't is mental gymnastics to justify your own opposition to Western teaching, without bothering to actually supply a real case against it

Your stated disagreement with Western Eucharistic theology in this conversation so far pretty much boils down to 'hurrdurr, the West teaches it so it must be wrong'

Which is not too dissimilar from the Protestants: 'hurrdurr, Rome teaches it so it must be wrong'

Both species contain both body and blood

You receive the fullness of Christs body and blood by receiving the 'bread' or the 'wine' or both

I'll explain more later, back at work

Also, (I don't know if it applies everywhere, but I know in some orthodox communities, it is the case, because I have observed it and had it explained to me by Orthodox Christians) that infants do not receive the bread, but only the wine, so I guess the Orthodox are just as guilty of separating the body and blood as they have accused Catholics of doing in this discussion

Giving infants communion is a red herring. You're just bringing that up because you can't answer the fact that you've been confronted with the fact that the Orthodox do something that you have just said Catholics are wrong to do

Also, there are Orthodox communities that don't give communion to infants

So, again, if you're going to get on Catholics for doing something, at least pick something that is absolutely NEVER done amongst the Orthodox

@ChuuniMage , I noticed your comment on 'strict, narrow, definitions'. One thing to keep in mind in regard to Western theology is while we may approach things in a very scientific fashion, this does not mean that we do so to the exclusion of other theological traditions and it does not mean that we regard those traditions as heretical. In my experience (and so far, this has been bourne out in this conversation) the East is stricter and narrower because it rejects all Western theology and discipline outright whereas the West, while adhering to its own unique traditions that go back to apostles, still learns from the East. When we try to explain stuff, like how we do liturgy or matters of discipline (which are going to be different by nature, because cultural differences effect this), its not that we are rejecting other ways, its that we simply don't do it that way for very specific reasons. You claim to be opposed to 'strict, narrow definitions' when this entire conversation revolves around the fact that the West does something different from the East and rather than trying to understand the theological and disciplinary reasons behind it, you simply reject because its not the way you do it in the East/it comes from Rome, so it must be wrong. I

. I'm totally cool with trying to explain what we do and why we do it. And I'm totally cool with learning about the East and why the East does things the way it does, but if the only response is 'it's from the West, its heresy' or 'we do it this way, you're wrong' then you aren't really interested in understanding why we believe what we believe which means you're not interested in eventual reconciliation of the Church (in other words, if you always approach, RC with antagonism, don't expect us to take you and your point of view seriously), and that means that we're both wasting our time even talking to each other. With that said, I have adulting to do. So you won't hear from me further on this topic. I've beaten my head against the wall on this enough for one day.

Yeah, except that's a bad analogy because pigs don't like to live in their own shit. The idea that pigs like wallowing in their own shit is a myth propogated by ignorant city dwellers. Pigs DO like to wallow in MUD but that is because they don't have sweat glands to keep them cool. However, they will only lived in their own shit if forced to due to factory farming, but any animal will do that. I live in cattle country. I see cows do it all the time

Not really germane to the actual topic, but ignorant city slickers who use bullshit agricultural analogies are really fucking obnoxious

Lol, no worries man. You should think about raising them sometime. Growing your own bacon in the way to go

Catholics and Orthodoxes and Nestorians are heretics

Convert to Arianism

Also, Catholics and weird bearded catholics and Nestorians and Aryan Arians and Pastor Jim-Bob's one true Apostolic Mega Church are heretics.
Damn you followers of organized religion because Jesus came so we could have a relationship not a religion and accept everyone.
Silly weird bearded catholics and shaven catholic and evangelical reactionary mind.
We Christ-followers don't do such things

You totally did. You're screwed bro

Also, Catholics and weird bearded catholics and Nestorians and Aryan Arians and Pastor Jim-Bob's one true Apostolic Mega Church and post-Modernists non-denoms are heretics.
Damn you followers of anything because I need my meds so I don't hear the voices.
Silly weird bearded catholics and shaven catholic and evangelical reactionary mind and post-Modernist no-labels.
We paranoid schizophrenics don't do such... hey, what did you just say? Hey, where did he go? I saw him just a minute ago, you saw him too, right? You didn't? Huh?
