THE ORTHO CHURCH(es)

According to the Orthodox catechism of Philaret the Church is called "Catholic" "Because she is not limited to any place, nor time, nor people, but contains true believers of all places, times, and peoples". Not sure what this current crisis has to do with catholicity. Perhaps, OP meant to say "one" rather than "Catholic". The same catechism says regarding the meaning of "one" (in the creed): "Because she [the Church] is one spiritual Body, has one Head, Christ, and is animated by one Spirit of God". My own thoughts: the Church is the New Israel. The Old Israel had lots of dissention and strife too, so this is nothing new, yet they were still one people.

I like their sung liturgy.

At least you admit you’re illiterate.

God is invisible too, but since you Catholics don't believe in him I understand why it would confuse you.(USER WAS WARNED FOR BREAKING RULE 2)

I’m Catholic and find this crass and unnecessary.

Is this still true? Funny enough being from around here it doesn't feel like it, most of what I can see day to day are Universal Church, Evangelicals, and all other type of crap, literally hundreds of little small congregations for only god knows what in every corner.

There are people that identify as Catholic there, that's all that the map tracks. Its all it can track really, how the hell do you find out if someone is a actual Catholic or just cultural?

That being said its odd that there are barely Orthodox outside the East.

You do realise "The One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church" is composed of 24 churches in communion with each other right?
