    Is The Church Of Rome Invalid?

    Only God truly knows the answer to this question. RCC and Orthodox are linked to the Church but as far as this humble Orthodox is concerned only the Orthodox have remained the Church as it is meant to be on Earth. I do not know if the RCC is "invalid" but I do believe it is in error.

    Advice for a friend concering his catechumenate

    Thanks for the replies, I'm certainly not going to between them and their priest. I just thought it odd but it seems it is more prevalent than I thought.

    Advice for a friend concering his catechumenate

    May I ask if this was at a Greek Orthodox Church?

    Advice for a friend concering his catechumenate

    He and his wife are inquirers into the Church and from online conversations they seem ready to be received into the Church eventually when their priest decides they are ready. What I don't understand is when I ask them if they are catechumens they keep responding that they are "essentially"...

    Changing Parishes?

    I empathize with the OP. My mission church has been almost shut down twice by our parent OCA church and the priests from the OCA have advised myself and my wife to go instead to the Greek Orthodox church here in town just to have a stable church life. We made the switch and it has been rewarding.

    Attending a Passover service in a non-Orthodox Church

    There is only the one true Church why would you want to be a member of anything besides that? I do not believe it is possible to "serve two masters" by attending both an Orthodox and a Protestant church.

    Gay Genocide Supported by the Church?

    This thread needs to be closed. It was an obvious troll post that asked a "question" that has been more than answered at this point.

    Greetings and a question!

    Same. I was gently chastised by a bishop just for starting to do that. He told me simply holding my hands correctly and asking for a blessing was enough.

    Would this happen in an Orthodox church?

    one of the priests serving our former mission is now divorced. His wife left to become a Catholic and for another man. He is still serving but he can not remarry.

    Gay Genocide Supported by the Church?

    This times a dozen. Stop trying to flaunt your rejection. You knew the answer to this utterly laughable and transparent question before you even posed it.

    Please pray - my husband had an accident.

    Prayers of healing, St. Patrick and Blessed Theotokos add mine to yours, for your husband and prayers of thanksgiving and blessing for the grandchild.
