  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Jason,

If your thinking of Orthodoxy, keep in mind that by living in the West you are already under the jurisdication of the Patriarch of Rome (We call him Pope John Paul II). So you could say that you are already Orthodox under the Patriarch of Rome.

If you would like, You could call yourself a Roman Orthodox and nobody would know the difference. ;)
I was referring to Eastern Orthodoxy, not orthodox Catholicism.

The Pope is not Orthodox, the proper term would be heterodox for the Pope of Rome.
