I had heard recently that some Orthodox Christians do not consider catholic sacraments to be valid. This may not be what every orthodox teach but just a few. But I was not sure. I certainly will not take it personally or even argue it but just curiously do Orthodox Christians view Catholic Sacraments as invalid? In other words if I became Orthodox would I have to be rebaptized and re-chrismated? Do they see the eucharist of Catholics as just mere bread or the substantial body and blood of Christ?
Catholic officially teach that all the sacraments of the Orthodox Church are valid because they hold valid Bishops with apostolic succession. So if a Orthodox person becomes Catholic they just make a creedal statment of faith as they are already received the sacraments validly. Just curious what they thought of us?
