Ok, that forms another question....and I would like to note, this is simply a question out of ignorance, I am not throwing accusations. how can these churches who break away from the Orthodox Church, claim to be the original? (RC, ACOE, OO, etc)? I fail to understand that.

They all rightly view their churches as having been part of the original Church, but they believe that theirs is the true Church, and that the others broke off from it (OO being a bit of an exception, as they have affirmed that EO's are still Orthodox). Some claims are more compelling than others.

They all claim to be based on continuing with the tradition that they have received and maintained some form of succession of their bishops. |

I don't know what the ACoE and OO can say, but we Catholics claim to be the original because we are! The ACoE and the OO broke aways from us in the 5th century, the EO in the 15th century, and the Protestants in the 16th century. |

It's in my understanding that most Assyrians today belong to the Catholic Chaldean rite and that only a dwindling number are still affiliated with the Church of the East. There is also some breakway Assyrian nationalist Church that was created in the past decade and tries to unite all Assyrians into one ethno national Religion by combining different elements of East and West Syriac tradition. I don't know much about the latter group other then this.

we Catholics claim to be the original because we are I doubt all would agree. I dont, and here is my logic. You have 1 group called A. Some A's differ and leave the group. Those that left say they are A and all others are now B. Would not those that left not be "B's"? Again, I am not attacking anyone, I just dont get "it". primuspilus |

But thats the thing. The Schism of 1054 had roots in what RC's believed that was different from the original EO teachings. So how can the RC's say that? Last time I checked the RC's added the filioque, not the EO, so to me, that would constitute a separation from what EO taught since the beginning.....so, an education in this would be appreciated.

Please, be honest to yourself. You know what I meant. No matter who you are (Orthodox, Catholic, Atheist etc.) I don't like someone saying "because we are", "because I said so", "because it's my Church's teaching". We all know position of your Church, please give us more explenation. That's the way Forum should work (at least in my opinion). When I approach someone with different beliefs I always try to explain my position, otherwise I wouldn't engage in discussion. P.S. Sorry for my English, still learning. |

Since I am neither Catholic or Orthodox I don't have any strong opinion who broke with who. Anyway this guy was asking an Orthodox member and thats why he put it that way. It's obvious from the context. If you desagree, you should just said: if you want to know Catholic perspective I would love to help you. |

"Break away"? Which party is the one that broke away is debated. They each claim to be the party that was broken away from. |

Don't generalize. There are plenty of OO who believe that they are the original Church of Christ and that you fell away from them. |

Actually, they view the matter as primarily about the primacy of Rome and view you as having deviated from the original teaching on that matter. |

The same reasoning applies to your own religious persuasion. You all have your reasons. It's your job to come to an understanding of their substance and why people believe them. |

I guess that moderator should intervene here. If you claim RC to be the original you need to give reasons why. And stop with this because "I said so".
As lame as it may be, he doesn't need to give reasons, and he doesn't need to stop the "I said so" "logic". It should be sufficient to not pay his pathetic attempts much heed. |

How could I respond to the question "how can these churches who break away from the Orthodox Church, claim to be the original? (RC, ACOE, OO, etc)?" without pointing out that the question itself is wrong? No doubt you would want me to say "Here, I'll explain to you how we claim to be the original, even though we broke away from the Orthodox Church ... " :rolleyes:
Answering a question that is loaded because of confusion with answers with the same sort of error is stupid. |

If the question is wrong, tell me how it is. Im trying to learn, thats all. I dont "WANT" you to say anything in the manner of which you are obviously referring. I am simply curious. primuspilus |

I don't thinks it matters anymore who broke away from who, everybody will defend what faith they are in and nobody will say we got it wrong.
All this happened a long time ago, what matters now is that we all grow in our Faith, and support each other.
Maybe the churches will reunite, maybe they won't, but that is another topic entirely.
yours in Christ

I dont "WANT" you to say anything in the manner of which you are obviously referring.
I never said that you did. The "you" in "No doubt you would want me to say" etc was referring to cyro, not you. Anyhow, I've tried to be patient with this conversation, but frankly I'm kind of sick of it. |

Ok, that forms another question....and I would like to note, this is simply a question out of ignorance, I am not throwing accusations. how can these churches who break away from the Orthodox Church, claim to be the original? (RC, ACOE, OO, etc)? I fail to understand that.

I don't know what the ACoE and OO can say, but we Catholics claim to be the original because we are! The ACoE and the OO broke aways from us in the 5th century, the EO in the 15th century, and the Protestants in the 16th century. We Catholics are the original because we are. Your Vatican broke off from us at least by 1054, though I say 1015, when your "supreme pontiff" stopped confessing the Orthodox Creed his predecessors accepted from the Catholic Church, and adopted another creed at the Frankish emperor's command. |

Question a friend, perhaps he did not do it; but if he did anything so that he may do it no more.

if you spit on it, it will be put out;

The initiative for the split was clearly on the part of the RC's.
Clear to you and me but not to others. Clear enough. The Fathers of the Ecumenical Councils set their seal on the Orthdoox Creed of the Catholic Church, and it didn't have Filioque. We kept it that way. The Vatican changed it centuries later, contradicting the Orthdoox Popes of the Catholic Church at Rome. Clear enough. |

For my part, I probably should have focused more on your actual responses, and not gotten distracted by other posts. |

"Break away"? Which party is the one that broke away is debated. They each claim to be the party that was broken away from. It shouldn't be. It's obvious that we are the Church. |
