If I'm confirmed Roman Catholic, is there a process if I wanted to join the Orthodox Church? Thanks!

@Boeing737Sucks I'd look up a local Orthodox Church and consult the local priests. Many priests actually will do different things sometimes.

@SorokChyetirye We even less care for Protestants... They are heretical product of Roman-Catholic heresy and greed.

LOL Orthodox or Protestants have nothing to do with eachother.

[SorokChyetirye]

@3SRBIJACCCC Orthodox and Protestants have broken the old tradition, recognised since Augustine and before, that contraception is immoral. You let your church members, your congregation, take a stranglehold of your churches and let them believe that contraception, which for over a millennium has been considered a sin (however trivial), is acceptable.

And how can Protestants OR Orthodox say they are the Church Christ established when they cannot even theologically agree among themselves?!

[SorokChyetirye]

@3SRBIJACCCC Same here. We both do at least agree on the Real Presence, the necessity of the bishops, and other historically Christian things the Protestants do not have. However, you guys fail to accept the authority of Rome which Christ gave to Peter as "the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven". See Isaiah 22:22 and Revelation 3, and you shall see clearly that Christ was giving Peter not only the first voice among equals, but second-in-command status. And how necessary it has been!

@TheCrookedTimber He speaks. He wills us to pray and to obey our Lord and His commandments. But the sheep Pope Benedict herds are ignorant, wild, and worldly. It is not his fault that most Catholics do not even go to Mass on a weekly basis, or use condoms and pills to prevent life. It is theirs and theirs alone. They know they are not supposed to use contraception, and go to Mass. But they are disobedient. All the same, we must warn them of their disobedience and the death which is brings.

God forgive those liberal sons of bitches who desecrate the Church and the Lord with their liberal theology and their scepticism which makes everything blurry and beyond understanding. I have the blessing of a traditional (lower-case t) Catholic pastor who insists that right is right and left is left, and this dissent of the liberal masses is repulsive. We must warn the lesbians and the communists of their errors and beg them not to fall for these societal assassins they mistake for "freedom".

[SorokChyetirye]

@TheCrookedTimber That you can call them ugly and vulgar shows how incredibly black your own heart is. I love the Mass of John Chrysostom, but our Masses are beautiful and wonderful in their own ways. And like the Eastern Rite, we do ours in the vernacular, we consecrate the Host which then becomes the Body and Blood, and we partake of the feast Christ had on that holy Thursday night so long ago. Literally, when you partake of the Liturgy or the Mass, you travel back in time.

[3SRBIJACCCC]

@SorokChyetirye We don't care what ROMAN-Catholic thinks or recognize. We only care what our ancient laws made by apostles and Christ recognize.

[SorokChyetirye]

@3SRBIJACCCC You realise Catholic do not recognise Orthodox as heretics? Merely insubordinate.

All the same, pity what that insubordination has done. It has allowed contraception and divorce into your marriages, to your peril.

[SorokChyetirye]

@3SRBIJACCCC That much we can agree with.
