they're a perfect example of how the church is truly catholic - meaning universal
most of us are Roman Catholics, but one doesn't have to be Roman to be Catholic
oh omay
okay*
I mean
the word Catholic means universal in greek
Roman is pretty based
wow that is super interesting
yeah, and the Pope is roman so the roman church will always have some degree of authority
imagine the church before the schism
every single christian was catholic
well
apart from heretics
I mean there's the case of seperation for middle eastern and greek rites
but most of that's geographical seperation
I mean ive observed from youtube an EO liturgy and didnt capture much of my attention however this is interesting knowledge
be careful on whether its EO or Eastern Catholic because they appear pretty much identical, same traditions etc
The Roman Rite will always be the church I love.
yeah, its very very difficult to switch rites also
I probably wouldnt, the people and canons have been very good to me at my parish
but thank you @Orrbit and @Deleted User 34578fb24a for that clearing up
ye
byz empire is fascinating but it's a disappointment how they ended up
whys that?
essentially as a debt-ridden wreck, living in the ruins of a city, and backstabbing each other, then sitting content like nothing's happened
oh lmao wow
Question
B r u h
Go on
If you miss a day of obligation in the Gregorian, can you "re-fulfill" it by going to a catholic church that uses the Julian?
My friend asked me this and I'm basically at a loss
That's a really hard question
Ye i told him to ask a priest
Its such a weird question as well
I would tell him that intent is crucial with all things. If he intended to fulfill it but something happened that stopped him then God understands.
However if he's trying to ditch God for mortal things and catch up afterwards I would say no
But I'm the least experienced person here in all likelyhood
Confession aint that bad.
