Let's please knock off the "there were only Catholics until Protestantism" rhetoric, okay? Honestly, I don't understand why Eastern Orthodox FReepers put up with it.

Are you now the "religion" police? Why don't YOU knock off telling me what to believe. Even the sign of the Cross is the same but for the side of its beginning.

The Catholic Church allows all Orthodox to receive Holy Communion in Catholic Churches. It's only a matter of time before the reverse is true.
Though I doubt that either of us will be alive then.

Honestly, I don't know where you get your ideas.

Not at all. I was merely calling you on your false argument that until the reformation, only the Roman Catholic version of chrstianity existed. If you have any doubts about Catholicism, Orthodoxy, and the others being different religions than Catholicism, just ask one of their members (who isn't an ecumenical liberal).

Why don't YOU knock off telling me what to believe.

When did I tell you what to believe? Are you claiming that it isn't true that there exist to this day four separate ancient liturgical chrstian traditions?

Even the sign of the Cross is the same but for the side of its beginning.

Wow. If you think that is the extent of the differences among the ancient churches, then you really don't know much about them.

Rome regards Constantinople as in schism, whereas the Orthodox traditionally regard Rome as heretical (another difference between the two belief systems). Furthermore, this is still ignoring the other two ancient churches.

Honestly, I don't know where you get your ideas.

Um . . . from reality. You should try it some time.
