I mean that on some issues it is difficult to discern what Orthodoxy teaches and opinions vary between different Orthodox Christians when I ask. That is not to say that differing views are unique to Orthodox Christians because many Catholics differ on various issues so there's no precedent for expecting complete unanimity among Orthodox Christians. There is also, as Cappadocious notes in an exaggerated form, no equivalent (in Orthodoxy) to the Catechism of the Catholic Church as far as I am aware. So sometimes I wonder if there us such a thing as an Orthodox position or if such a thing as an Orthodox position is even a useful concept when it comes to matters not clearly defined in the canons of the oecumenical councils that all the Orthodox bishops recognise and agree are oecumenical. A similar observation can be made with respect to Protestantism (for lack of another word that embraces the major movements that arose after 1521 AD in Western and Central Europe).Could you clarify what you mean?
I can't help but noticed both the exaggerated form of your comment and the little wink at the end of it. Why did you type it?Probably that since we don't have a CCC and Pope we must be a frothing mess of opinions set adrift.
