Catholic food is by far the best, Sicilian, Italian, French, Spanish, Brazilian, Mexican...
My parish happens to be Antiochian Orthodox.Wasn't it in Antioch where they were first called Christians? Therefore, the first church was the church of Antioch.....see, we all lose.
BTW which antioch? and are you sure it's the right one. LOLMy parish happens to be Antiochian Orthodox.
I win after all.
Comfict we may not have had, but conflict we have had aplenty, from the sack of Constantinople to the forced conversion of Serbs to Catholicism in Croatia or the Inuit in Alaska.

Mi scusi, but I am both Italian and Sicilian, AND I am Orthodox... you do not get to claim those for Catholicism.
Well, it's not Antioch, IL....BTW which antioch? and are you sure it's the right one. LOL
Trust me, Sicily is by far majority Catholic, to the extent that non-catholic is maybe 5% of the entire population.
Catholic food is by far the best, Sicilian, Italian, French, Spanish, Brazilian, Mexican... can't say Russian food is that great, some Greek food is alright, but it is mostly just rip offs of Turkish and Middle Eastern food.
What else is Orthodox, like Bulgarian and Serbian or something, don't even know what their food would be.
Knives to throats. Many refused to convert and became martyrs for the Orthodox faith.How was it forced upon another?
Did they put ashes on their head or what? How did that go down? Knives to throats? How does one force a conversion?
I'm not so sure about that. History seems to tell a different story.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.

No.Well the crusades were asked for by the authorities in Constantinople, as well as the crusades are why the west did not fall to Islam, so the Catholic sack of Constantinople is well bellow the price of what the Catholics did for the east.
As too Serbia, the crimes it has committed on the nations of it's region far outweigh anything done by Croatia.
Yup, it's a complicated thing.I would have to say that sounds rather unothodox (I think). I suppose thats a new spin on "Rise Peter KILL or convert?
What did they want them to do to convert? Was it something like..."Just come to my church and sit with us or we will kill you type thing"?
So they died "for the orthodox faith"
Whats Orthodox mean? I think I asked this before (have an idea) but I sorta forget what the word means (Im not too brlliant that way) lol
Would it be sorta subjective (the word "orthodox")? As it might be with "Catholic" which might mean what? "universal" (as it pertains to the church)? but instead when they use it, what it really means those of "us" (our doctrines, popes etc). So... even though they be separated from you guys (who were before them) called the "Othodox" they (who dont call themselves "Othodox") in name would not consider themselves "unorthodox" (in practice) even though they separated from "the Orthodox"? And just as you are not called Catholic ( implying universal) regarding the church makes you no less Catholic in the more truer sense of the word (rather then the brand of church) manufactured after their particular practices (popes) etc...? BREATHE...
Im trying too hard to figure this stuff out, I just know it LOL
Both names sorta have a double meaning dont they? Meaning both and/or neither depending on something else (Im probrobly not aware of) right?
Im getting brain zaps lol
Peace
