"...the Orthodox Church has no official catechism--not because nobody bothered putting it together but because we don't believe the truth, which continues to be revealed, can be reduced to a systematic formula."

And, "...one Roman Catholic pope's decision to usurp the conscience of the Church by shutting down all discussion of women priests?  In the Orthodox Church you can talk about such things freely..."

Seems there is a thing or two the Roman Catholic Church could learn from the Orthodox Churches.  Of course many Roman Catholics don't go along with the idea of the perfection of current dogma and don't shut down their conscience on the whim of a pope....  I think many Orthodox ideas are practiced in the Roman Catholic Church even if the officials of that church pretend otherwise.

Thanks, Sarasi1, for helping us understand some fundamental differences between Orthodox and Roman Catholic beliefs, which is really food for thought....
