Most of my mini shrine is ortho stuff

i think it's acceptable if it depicts a saint canonized by the catholic church

but it's wrong if the saint depicted is not a catholic saint

ah gotcha gotcha

question

is Constantine a saint in the RCC

@Crux I want to say yes

I've heard both yes and no

No mostly from Latin Rite

Every single Eastern Rite Catholic I have asked has given me a very convincing yes

While the Latin Rite Caths I've asked vary between "I think", "probably", "maybe" and "no because he was baptized arian"

There's no veneration at all in the Roman Church but if the Eastern Churches are fully Catholic too then surely that means he is a Saint?

that's my thoughts too @Orrbit

anyone know a good place to buy chapel veils, online or otherwise? My newly baptised gf wants one. I'm in Aus.

@Orrbit all i could do for you was web searched

I don’t see why us as Catholics couldn’t honor a saint in the Orthodox Churches. We’re brother churches after all

Save for the few major theological differences and cultural differences, were pretty much the same.

Isn’t it sanctioned that we can receive communion validly from an Orthodox Church if the bishop over them is fine with it and they can receive communion from us?

Then why not honor their saints as well even if you don’t ask for their intercession.

we can only receive communion if we can't get to a Catholic church

but their sacraments are valid, yeah

also, we do share most of the saints since a lot of them come from before the schism

Ye

And I see

Thanks for the reminder on the communion thing

@AP-1138 because they are schismatics and outside of salvation by nature of schism. It's not hard to understand.

We don't share most saints because most saints were proclaimed in the past few centuries.

And most of that in the past 50 years

And we'd call a few major theological differences heresy in a number of issues, for example many deny divine simplicity

aren't coptics Monophysites?

And as thee Church has defined a number of dogmas since, they at least partially deny those.

Honestly, from my talks with an orca-dog I know (not in /cult/), most of the differences between us and them are semantic and cultural. They're just autistic and insist that their big Greek words are better and more true than our big Latin words. My EO friend agrees, as does his priest.

what do your EO mates think about the Papacy?

Do they accept papal infallibility for example? Because that's a dogma and it's far from cultural.

yeah thats a big one

Or take the council of trent, see how they feel about many of those.

or like any council after the schism for that matter

Fillioque is major as well

For example that the Catholic Church can punnish heretics and schismatics by death.

I know about all of that

do Eastern Catholics acknowledge filioque?
