Yes. You'll hear a TON of anti-Western stuff at coffee hours in Orthodoxy in my area. They're caught up in trashing Catholics, do a little beating up of the Protestants here and there, and I don't think it has been good for me at all. And you're correct---all the Catholics I know hold Orthodox Christians in VERY high regard! They admire them and only say and see good things in them. They have all this hope for reunion and this brotherly angle. The Orthodox have ZERO desire for such things. An ecumenist is a sell-out.
One thing I used to buy into when I first went Orthodox was the "we never had a bunch of rebels, break-offs, no Reformation in the East! No need! We're perfect!" But after you look into all the break-off weirdos--Old Calendarists, the "World" Orthodox, "True" Orthodox, and a long list of other non-canonical Orthodox groups, you realize that there is a lot of division. At my parish (now former), it's Serbian. They mock the Greeks down the street. Why? Their icons are "funny-looking" and they "USE AN ORGAN" with their music. Plus they sit down a couple times during the Divine Liturgy.
It's weird.
But what is LOVELY about Orthodoxy is, no matter who the priest is, where you go--- NO LITURGICAL ABUSE! I do love that.
But yeah, your post spoke to me. Kindred spirits I think, you and I, in our crazy journeys!
