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

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 donāt have 1 centralized organization that controls doctrine right? Thereās 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. Thereās 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 donāt think saying āmostā is fair. Now if youāre referring to Protestant churches that accept gay pastors, gay weddings, and women pastors. Then yeah those are heresy.
Or ones that teach that God isnāt a trinity.
Or thereās 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 donāt 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
but where in the bible does it say women pastors are wrong?
I think itās Timothy. Itās the part about the requirements for deacons.
That usually translates to the same requirements for priests/pastors as well.
Then we have numerous times itās explained that men are supposed to be the head/ruler.
Then the other New Testament part that gets most modern feminist educated women upset, women are to be subservient to their husbands. So another example of women not being in charge.
@Deleted User Women in orthodox arent allowed to place their foot inside the holy places of the churches nor are allowed to our sacred monasteries
@Andrules Orthodoxy is a decentralized church but we dont have such problems
