Orthodoxy and Catholicism: A Comparison
Top Highlights
“Orthodoxy doesn’t define the Marian doctrines of the Immaculate Conception and the Assumption, but it should be noted that Orthodox individuals are free to believe these without being deemed ‘heretical.’ Catholics feel that Orthodoxy is implicitly denying the notion of the Church (past the eighth century) as the living, developing Body of Christ, continuously led into deeper truth by the Holy Spirit (John 14:26; 16:13–15).” (Page 8)
“The Latin processio can mean both originating (which the Spirit does from the Father alone) and proceeding (which the Spirit does from the Father and the Son, or through the Son).” (Page 217)
“Orthodoxy—strictly speaking—is not ‘one’ Church, but a conglomerate of at least seventeen, each with separate governance” (Page 6)
“places the state above the church—somewhat similar to early Lutheranism and Anglicanism.” (Page 7)
“was universally condemned by all branches of Christianity until 1930” (Page 9)
