@Iakovos I'm also happy that you did you found out your faith again ^_^

If God allows that I live through this summer, I will be joining RCIA this August at my Priest's recommendations. I am extremely excited, I can't wait for summer to pass and begin catechization.

I wish you luck bro

I knew that once I came back that God loved me, and so I sought him for advice and guidance to worship him to the best of my ability. I know in my heart the Catholics worship correctly.

God never abandons anyone, he is waiting patiently for everyone to come back

AS LE JOO I SUPPORT THE FOUNDING OF FALASTIYN

Orthodox worship is equally valid, don't deny them that. They are schismatic, not heretic.

Christ is literally present in the Eucharist of an Orthodox Mass

I think we probably believe the same thing about purgatory but explain it differently. The Catholic explanation sounds more like a place, and the Orthodox more like a state of existence

@Deleted User Exactly

thats why we don't scrap the idea of a place like purgatory but don't accept it as a place that the souls go before go to haven

Your picture sucks 🤣

So the Assyrian and oriental orthodox joined back into Catholics?

maybe some joined as some eastern orthodox joined the papacy

Also... you do realize that most Protestant churches don’t have 1 centralized organization that controls doctrine right? There’s like 5 for Baptists. Each one is a little different on their doctrines. Then you have the numerous independent churches whose doctrine is controlled by the current pastor and whatever leaders they have.

Some denominations have largely gone to heresy. Methodist is the first I think of. There’s plenty of good Methodist churches, but some of their ruling organizations have allowed female pastors and gay weddings and other crap.

The Methodist church I grew up in was forced to retire their good ole fashioned fire and brimstone pastor and replace him with one chosen by the United Methodist Church. The first guy was really good. He actually dressed in a robe like he was a monk or something. Had sound messages, from what I remember. Then the organization decided to move him after like 4 years and replaced him with a woman.

The woman just talked about how we should be kind all the time because Jesus was kind all the time.

True, but as I said most of the protestant churches are revisioning the bible thus turning it to heresy

Like one of the protestant church in US that allow same sex marriagw and the woman that is bishop there is an lgbt hedonist

I don’t think saying “most” is fair. Now if you’re referring to Protestant churches that accept gay pastors, gay weddings, and women pastors. Then yeah those are heresy.

Or ones that teach that God isn’t a trinity.

Or there’s no hell...

The Methodist church in my town actually was all upset and sort of protested when the UMC decided to not allow gay marriages in the churches.

It obviously has a female pastor. She looks like a middle aged cat lady lesbian too.

The lack of a central organization has its pros and cons.

A Protestant Church can have a certain denomination on the sign, but without talking to the pastor you don’t really know what doctrines are actually taught in the church.

That is one thing I admire about orthodox and Catholics. Doctrines are supposed to be the same worldwide.

definitely don't agree with gay weddings and gay church leaders
