Hello there, I am a Roman Catholic and I am interested to attend an Orthodox Mass in English so as to experience and to know how the mass is done in full so as that I will be able to differentiate that with the Roman Mass.

@Archzenom

You can feel free to go to any Orthodox Church, a majority of churches in North America have liturgies in English. If you'd like to compare the Liturgical Traditions, I suggest you read the books and articles of Alexander Schmemann, he wrote in English to a Western audience. If you're near Chicago, feel free to visit this church whose liturgy is identical to that of the Byzantine Orthodox, and I could even give you a tour/explanation if you'd like.

@julianhayda But I am here in the Philippines and going abroad is one that I haven't done in my life. However, if I may have time, I may go to the United States of America and then I may go to that church that you have there in your video.

That is not true in any way.

The doctrine in the Eastern Churches is limited to the first seven ecumenical councils, as with the Orthodox Churches. We do not accept dozens of Western Doctrines because they do not correlate with our Liturgical Tradition, as the two go very much hand in hand. The saints aren't the same either, we follow the Byzantine Calendar, so we have our own saints, some Roman/Universal saints, and all Orthodox saints from before 1594.

@barky66 There are over 22 Catholic Churches all in communion with Rome, headed by either synods or their own Patriarchs, all with the Holy Father. The Pope of Rome is Patriarch of the West (although Pope Benedict has given up that title), while the Melkites, Chaldean Catholics, Maronite Catholics and others have their own patriarchs. YOU are the one with the faulty ecclesiology.

@Freakxt747 Are you in the USA??? If you are with the Romanian Greek-Catholic Church, I know their bishop Bishop John Michael. I used to serve as acolyte with him when he was a parish priest in Aurora IL. I have met Archbishop Lucian from Romania.

@Garbanzo884 : I didn't know that were so many Churches united with Rome.

I belong to Romanian Greek-catholic Church

@lockandload94 : It's the same doctrine

The same saints as roman-catholics

The same things that roman-catholics have

The rit of the liturgy is different, it's th byzantine rit

Our head is the Pope
