    Adapting

    If there are any Catholic to Orthodox converts here, this question is directed to you. How did you first react to the Orthodox "way" (for lack of a better term)? Everything seems so foreign to me... how did you adapt? Thanks in advance.

    Pacifism

    Yes? No? Excluding the just war clause this be. When in everyday life should "defense" be taken? I refer to words here. EX: Someone claims to do twice as much work as somebody else at our church, even though they don't (barely any at all, actually), and that they want more recognition. Should...

    Thank you, Benny.

    I believe I am good again. I was at one point in official schism, but I feel the Holy Spirit calling me back to the Church. Though I'm not thoroughly satisfied, I'm finding a lot of comfort in Pope Benedict and his writings.

    Prayers Needed

    I desperately need prayers for my health and discernment process. There quite possibly might be something wrong with my heart, and I'm stuck in a spiritual rut as far as truth goes. TIA

    Ortholic Relations

    I've been looking deeply into the Orthodox Church lately, and I need help with the issue of Papal Authority. I'm assuming a large part of this rests on how the East dealt with the west Authoritatively, but I can't find any info on the matter. So I guess I'm kind of wondering is, on what grounds...

    Visited Local Church

    I just visited the local Ukrainian Catholic church. It seemed extremely Latinized (pews, statues, stations, rosary before Mass, few icons, kneeling), and there was no incense (which just made me sad, because I was looking to it.) Are most Eastern churches like this now?

    Kneeling ~ Communion

    I don't even know. My spiritual life has been lacking for about a month, but now that I'm back and good again, and I want to kneel when I receive the Eucharist. It is allowed, technically (but standing is the norm in the U.S.), but the priest is instructed to instruct the "kneeler" at a later...

    What of it? Is there any substantial evidence to suggest it could be the actual burial cloth of Christ, and what is the Church's stance?
