only ovarian food was first approved by GodThe first food was cooked by neolithic hunter-gatherers who practiced Shamanism. Therefore cooked food is pagan and satanic.

How do non-RCs, including the EO/OO feel about the way the RCC elects their Popes using the Cardinals?
And where and when did this tradition start? Thanks
Black smoke rises from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel meaning that cardinals failed to elect a new pope in the first ballot of their secret conclave at the Vatican City.[AFP]
I find it facinating, but I wish I could apply for a permit to Vatican country. Must get my black suit ready just in case I get an offer
Sounds like a planYes, the ballot is secret. That is why the ballots are burned after they are counted, creating the smoke.
Personally, if the Catholic Church wishes to select its Pope in this manner it is not at all an issue for myself. IMO it beats a hereditary papacy or a papacy in which the Pope anoints his own successor.
I am not a teacher, sorryAs a former "RC" and altarboy, you ought to know as well.
Please do educate us. After all, you must know a sundry amount of aspects regarding the Ancient Church of Rome, for I am sure, that you educated yourself quite well about all her various details, aspects, traditions, and particulars before you removed yourself from the Ancient Roman Church.
I agree with thatQuite plainly, since we see the pope as an unnecessary and dangerous position, both doctrinally and practically, the view is that they should return to the original view of him being first in respect, but not in power.
The Pope would renounce his Roman Catholicism and become Orthodox. There is nothing that would cause the Church as a whole to join with him.
There are such things as uniate churches, which are basically Byzantine Catholic churches and the like, but they are no longer Orthodox.
. . . . Or what would it take for the Pope to come back to the Faith where he is "first among equals"?
Although we share 1000 years, we have also been estranged for another 1000. We are very different. You are closer to Catholicism, as a Protestant, than is the Orthodox Church. Your separation is not as wide.
Love,

Wouldn't you think that by now, the RC mode of this type of election is a bit outdated?Dear LLOJ,
It is a tradition of some antiquity, so I can see no problem.
The Coptic tradition is based on the way the Apostles chose Judas' successor. When the Synod has three names they are put into a bag and a choice is then made - we believe this is guided by the Holy Spirit. I told you we were a conservative lot
peace,
Anglian
Wonder if any of the Apostles smoked.........
