Serious question:

>little schism
Catholics have incorrect soteriology, trinitarianism, Mariology, ecclesiology, conceptions of heaven and hell, do not have icons, and have purgatory, the Pope, the filioque, no salvation outside their church, and still willfully remain in schism. It's not minor and I have more sympathy for Protestants.
Embarrassing in that case

>Undeniably has better liturgy
Debatable, which is the whole point.
Orthodoxs claim they made ABSOLUTELY NOOOOOOO changes WHAT-SO-EVER. And yet they did. Like changing the Credo's words.
This is more of a matter of theology than who is more traditional.
Is orthodox liturgy better? Meh, I've never seen it ever being portrayed anywhere and actually being appealing or theologially excplicitely better.
>has an actually coherent...
dunno what you're trying to say here, it's just a matter of reciting the same ritual every sunday and spreading the word of God by building an empire, I see the roman catholic one in the past, but where's the orthodox one?
>is closer than what jesus practiced
Are better rituals the ones that stick to traditions but forget about the people or the ones that stick to the people but forget about traditions. I think that roman catholicism is a good mix between the two, while orthodoxy is waaay stuck in its undecyphrable gibberish and protestantism is too libertine.
>is practiced by good people
bitch, orthodox one of the most liberal minded christians even on a matter as simple as faggotry. Even most of protestants surpass your levels of degeneracy.
>doesn't require bowing to certain people
>I can do whatever I want
>I'm totally an orthodox
>fuck you catholic daddy!
>how'd you like that, uh?
>I'm not simply doing this for attention because I felt rejected by the catholic church in the past and can't cope with my mistakes
uh-uh sure honey. you sure know better now do you... You do know that they still have clergy that you must obey to, right?

>Are better rituals the ones that stick to traditions but forget about the people or the ones that stick to the people but forget about traditions.

This doesn't mean anything, it's word salad.

Lol there's no Italian master of the universe who claimed infallibility 150 years ago

ok based

you realize 99% of religious people acquired their faith through family/culture as a child, right? they didnt review all religions and then picked their favourite

>This doesn't mean anything, it's word salad.
I know your little pea-sized brain has difficulties trying to understand multiple big words at a time, so I'm gonna spell it out once again only using greentext.
>if you get stuck in traditions
>then the people no understand no more
>and they only do it because you have to
>they start to not understand why they're doing it and so they just stop altogether
which is why most slav countries except for poland which is roman catholic, have an even lower church attendance than west europe
So is it really "better" to have a more traditional liturgy at the cost of no people attending your churches? And mind you that as I said, you even have one of the most degenerate liberal christians in your movement, so it's not even a trade between quantity and quality, you're simply losing on all sides.
>Lol there's no Italian master of the universe who claimed infallibility 150 years ago
>lol *nervous laughter* XD
I was talking about orthodox clergymen, you dummy

Yes, user, whatever you say. It's funny how it's always the Catholic Church the target, the single most propagandised against Church in the entirety of Christendom. It's funny how you guys say that St. Peter founded Antioch before Rome but only one of those still stands, isn't that right? The Catholic Church had to deal with so much drama while evangelising the entire world while you guys just chilled in your little ethnochurches for almost a millennia now. The Catholic Church was grace with Saints, with miracles, which signs, with Holy Apparitions, and the Orthodox can't even decide their own hagiology. The Catholic Church was able to enact a powerful Counter-Reformation which brought forth many blessings and substantial theological development, yet the Orthodox remain in stasis to this very date (despite the theological discoveries that were happening up until the Schism, I might add). The Catholic Church magnanimously declares the Orthodox sacraments to be valid and embraces them as lost brothers that have become schismatics because of political reasons and not actual theological ones, yet the common Orthodox still spits in the face of his Catholic brother.

It's always Pope derangement syndrome with you people.

>It's not minor and I have more sympathy for Protestants.
So you're a troll, huh? You're just a protestant being deceitful. Make better productive use of your time and stop acting in a manner that is unbecoming of a Christian man.

He's not even Orthodox, user. He's clearly LARPing. Just ignore him.

>I know your little pea-sized brain has difficulties trying to understand multiple big words at a time, so I'm gonna spell it out once again only using greentext.
This is funny coming from an Italian Catholic
>if you get stuck in traditions

>and they only do it because you have to
>they start to not understand why they're doing it and so they just stop altogether
Exactly as I said, you do not have formed opinions on this matter and are throwing things at the wall hoping they stick. You don't realised you're an actual heretic and not prone to reason.
>which is why most slav countries except for poland which is roman catholic, have an even lower church attendance than west europe
You don't know what the Soviet Union was?
>So is it really "better" to have a more traditional liturgy at the cost of no people attending your churches?
When you have priests in Barney costumes conducting liturgy it is definitely worth it.
>I was talking about orthodox clergymen, you dummy
Are you this slow? I'm talking about the Pope, not clergymen.

>So you're a troll, huh? You're just a protestant being deceitful. Make better productive use of your time and stop acting in a manner that is unbecoming of a Christian man.
Protestants are usually just ignorant while Catholics cannot truly understand Christianity while remaining Catholic without becoming willfully schismatic.

This is true. Protestants are in a bad place. Catholics are bro tier.

i cant fucking even im fucking crying stop this

Swear in the name of the Lord that you are an Orthodox faithful and you're not simply being deceitful for whatever reason.

It's all so tiresome. Being a Catholic is so tiresome. Having to deal with the constant barrage of protestant attacks, from "Christians" that can't even obey the Moral Law and employ these sorts of tricks to foment disunity and discussion. It's all so very tiresome. If you can't become a Catholic or an Orthodox, at the very least start by becoming Christian, OP.
