@Deleted User Also I'm sorry if I crossed a line Rag

Look, I agree with almost every tenant of Orthodoxy and it's easier to accept than Catholicism, except for maybe infant communion and leavened bread.

But leavened bread is a huge deal.

Eastern Catholic uses the same bread as Orthodox

So both are valid

Don’t worry tea-nigger. They’ll hate on me just as bad. I’m a silly Protestant 🤣

EC rites are equally valid according to the Pope vested with authority

I am neither, I am simply Christian seeking answers.

Well I'm not taking anything back for the papacy though <:smuglaugh:448311843086401536> ☦

I see @Deleted User

Wait.

Do Eastern Catholics believe in Immaculate Conception?

Latin rite uses unleavened bread. Eastern rites use leavened

@Iakovos yes

RIP

Immaculate Conception is a hard teaching

All Eastern Catholics believe in the exact same things as Latin Catholics

IC is one of the easier ones if you look at it from another angle

Why do Catholics believe that Mary was sinless?

Even free of personal sin?

From where do we get Original Sin?

Original sin is fine, but certainly she could have sinned.

@Deleted User So to understand, the eastern churches that joined papism still have the same beliefs as the orthodox churches that didn't joined?

On the original sin route... I assume you mean from being descendants of Adam and Eve?

@Deleted User it's not called papism.

papacy

Then since Jesus didn’t have an earthly father, he didn’t get original sin?

I like the Orthodox interpretation. We inherit the *condition* of original sin, and the consequences/mortality. Not the guilt of original sin.

Eastern churches that are in communion with Rome have the same beliefs as other Catholics but their "rite" is generally the same as Orthodox

Greek Orthodox, and Byzantine Catholic, have the same liturgical rites

Rag is the Orthodox interpretation of original sin the same as Catholic?

Doesn’t it actually say in the NT that because Adam sinned, we’ve all sinned and the wages of sin is death?

So Adam was likely immortal before he sinned.

This is a Catholic Church

Yeah Remus. For the whole like 2 days he didn’t 🤣

@Deleted User answer my question

@Iakovos yes and yes. Our interpretation is the same but Orthodox explain things sometimes differently

@Andrules Concerning the original—or “first”—sin, that commited by Adam and Eve, Orthodoxy believes that, while everyone bears the consequences of the first sin, the foremost of which is death, only Adam and Eve are guilty of that sin.

@Andrules we don't know how much time had passed. perhaps years.
