When the Church begins to live in Christ as much as it talks Christ

How would you know? Which parish have you attended regularly over the last few years?

You are stuck on the physical and outwardly religion and not the substance of faith. Your parish, just as any other Orthodox parish, refuses Eucharist to the non-Orthodox. I call that non-Christian. It goes for the whole Church. It has nothing to do with what parish you go to.

The Orthodox Church, not just your or my parish, converts Catholics by the same ritual which was originally devised for the Arian heretics: chrismation. By doing so, the Church is saying Catholics are heretics of the worst kind.

The Church accepts Monophysite Coptics to communion, and their concept of Jesus Christ is radically different from the Orthodox or Catholic. Yet they are "worthy" of our Eucharist and the Catholics are not. Talk about arrogance and un-Christian praxis!
