Orthodoxy seems to be different by country

yeah it kinda is

it's not as centralized as the Catholic church

even if national Churches was the biggest mistake the Vatican ever made

because it gave roots for Nationalist Catholicism

So what do you guys think about this;

and that's why we're stuck with reactionary churches in europe

MY FAV PIC

it's so great

Francis is like "hell yea"

YES.

I don't know the name of the song to "A S S A D W A V E" So I keep playing it back and forth.

cathbol gang unite

Some Catholics claim that the Orthodox split off from the Catholic Church and Orthodox say the vice versa

where do you guys stand on that?

Do you know why they split?

It's FUCKING TINY compared to the Protestant reformation.

hang on a second

One reason,

was what type of bread should be used,

for communion.

._.

The other was the question of celibacy for priests.

In the Catholic Church, you have to be celibate.

In the Orthodox church, you can be married and have kids.

._.

also the difference between a platonist theology or aristotelician

ORthodoxs are platonicians where Catholics are Aristotelicians

that's why Orthodox rely on icons

and pictures so much

i mean the pope is an icon of catholicism i’d say

and they’re quite reliant on him

Catholics, as in referring to the ideology, are not Aristotelicians by any stretch of the imagination, Galileo's head rolled because the one and only Aristotelician ideal that the Catholic Church supported (all others were rejected) was the geocentric model and Galileo threatened that. The Church as a whole didn't apologize for doing this until 1996.

They are heavily reliant on dogma, not Aristotelician ideals.

Thomism dude

look it up

it's like the defining catholic ideology of the renaissance

it's litteraly the most aristotelician philosopher since aristotle
