I think, from my perspective, the Orthodox and Catholic are the same thing - I know that really pisses people off - and that the distinctions are not historically important because the expression of the Christian faith is polyvalent: mystics and rationalists, different ways of managing the culture. Excluding Protestants, of course.<br/><br/>We share an unbroken line descending from the Apostles, core doctrinal teachings (with notable exceptions), the Real Presence, and all the other important things. I&#39;d give up the filioque and consider the Pope just the first among equals tomorrow if it would get the One Church breathing with both lungs again.<br/><br/>For me, it was a simple observation that, as a Western man, the Western Church was home. If I&#39;d have been in eastern Europe or a descendant of Greeks or Russians, I might have been thinking differently. 2025-03-13T20:47:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspl9rxccgrukp0w3mjf2p3m7a5ucq6a8g9xag7cawna585gj50zsczyzv8esn4e40t5lp3ktrvn2xqhazkvszx5tt6d9reqe5lrkm48y8rsjl0uqq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsvu9438texgq6sh85gtgasnq5qan0lflfqjtz6u0nfphtx58hk0ygfdda2d'>nevent1q…da2d</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>sexy vampire? 2024-09-05T13:40:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx7jz4gjp2aa9ekl3k43t2n9mzue2hpadpq3d97zj7hd4dmdhtc8czyzv8esn4e40t5lp3ktrvn2xqhazkvszx5tt6d9reqe5lrkm48y8rs93g3md In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2lg395y3yh28mgv7kghm69k248kx23ucwjygv2sujhtpaeqz63pg7kg8e7'>nevent1q…g8e7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah.
