YouTube is unreliable in seeking truthful answers regarding Roman Catholicism,as there are 1000s of Anticatholics,who misunderstand our faith & most often-their rude replies are untrue.*ALWAYS CHECK WHERE REPLIERS GOT THEIR INFO FROM.Seek reliable sources such as EWTN or CATHOLIC ANSWERS.Historicity of the Roman Catholic Church is found in encyclo.& history books in libraries.To those opposed to our R.C. Church-your cruel words are in vain.Our R.C.Church has endured ~2000 yrs & is DIVINE

@Antimanele104 You are IGNORANT of ROMAN CATHOLICISM . END OF CONVERSATION! GOOD BYE!

@Antimanele104 At the ecumenical Council of Florence (1438-45), it was changed, and the council ruled that the words "and the Son" had been validly added to the Creed. The Eastern Orthodox originally accepted the authority of the Council of Florence, but later rejected it.

@Antimanele104 WELL THEN WHY DIDN"T YOU WANT "THE SON" ADDED TO THE CREED-IF YOU BELIEVE IN THE TRINITY THEN?? YOUR CHURCH HAS BROKEN & FRAGMENTED -YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT HIERARCHY THAN WE DO.

@Antimanele104 GUESS YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND CATHOLICISM_ROME WAS ALWAYS THE CENTER -PETER THE 1ST POPE=WE ARE ON OUR 265th POPE-ONE HEAD AS WAS EST BY CHRIST----YOU BROKE AWAY-YOU DIDNT WANT TO HAVE THE POPE AS YOUR HEAD OF CHURCH-CUT & DRY!!

@truthfulreply we,the Romanians,the Russians,the Greeks,and all the other Slavic population didn't had Inquisition,like you,mighty Catholic believer.We,the Orthodox,didn't killed people just because they were from another religion.We,the Orthodox,never tried in our ENTIRE HISTORY to convince EVERYONE,not even by insisting speeches to embrace our religion,because we know every person is free to believe in whatever it wants,and you call yourself a righteous religious man?End of talk

[Antimanele104]

@truthfulreply and furthermore,imbecile,it wasn't the Orthodox Church who broke up,it was the Catholic Church,everyone knows,even an atheist knows that.from what I recall,the cults and all the other religious sects,all are derived from Catholicism,NOT from Orthodoxism.and even more,stupid,Arianism doesn't reffer to the Orthodox,but to the belief that Arius could not understand the nature of the Holy Trinity and it's tri-unicity,which all Orthodox Christians understand.

[Antimanele104]

@truthfulreply wow,still spitting collosal amounts of shit about Orthodoxy:look,retard,we Orthodox believe in the holy Trinity(I don't even know what stupid shit you are blabbering about us not believing in the Holy Spirit).OUR CHURCH DID NOT CHANGE A SINGLE THING SINCE IT"S CREATION FROM THE PENTICOST.and furthermore,I can speak all the way I want to a indoctrinated imbecile who can't see the truth because of his blind faith in a religion that condemmned and kill people.
