My 91 year old Ukrainian Baba's Apricot stolen could beat your baklava and cannoli's any day! ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

"Cannoli" is already plural. PWNED.

Differences such as the Filioque, the Immaculate Conception etc are only the tip of the iceberg. The most serious differences are far deeper.
In the Orthodox Church salvation is theosis (deification), the process of becoming "like God" by participating in God's uncreated Divine Energy (aka Divine Grace). This is impossible in the RC Church because they believe that God's Grace is created. From the EO point of view, if God's Grace is created then we simply cannot be saved - <snip>

It was probably me. I'm a known spammer and troll.

:)

It's only because of your long purple hair and big ears.

I love baklava, but I would take Italian food (well, what I have been taught is Italian food lol) over Greek or Russian any day.

Was it Italian food in Mother Russia?

NO??? IZ OUTRAGE. It ought to have been... Iz teh tasty.

Italian food is foul and nasty stuff and if you eat it you should be instantly anathematized and foced to do 1000 prostrations per day for the next 10 years.
