I only wish a couple more Orthodox were in this forum to help me there:
a quote from a person who believes there's a higher being, but not certain about the rest:
In the end, I would assume the Catholic church takes the hardest beating, because as you have told me, they were the first Church, and they have set up the rules as to what is meant to be a Christian. To me, that states that they should be the first ones setting a good example of what is meant by the love of Christ.
My Catholic friend's answer:
I think there are many reasons the Catholic church takes the hardest beating. One is because we are centralized, we are an easily definable and large target. And when you proclaim to be the church Christ founded, people do indeed have an expectation that should show.
(discussing Catholic Church scandals, and this is in there and I see it a lot. I have to butt in and explain the Orthodox Church has been from the beginning as well).
