>>3931812I don't know much about Orthodoxy, but that is precisely why I have managed to cling to Roman Catholicism so long. I do find it hard to see scriptural backing for every facet of the Catholic Church, however, I do believe we worship Christ in a dignified, rational manner whereas the breed of American Protestant you're talking about doesn't have any of that.
Historically I would have been very tempted to join with the Calvinist Puritans because I do believe they are directly responsible for the good government we have today. Their heirs today such as the Baptist/Evangelical camp, however, are the laughing stock of Christendom, 2nd only to the pathetic mainline churches of today with gay marriage, female bishops, etc. It's very likely you'll ever see me become "born again."
Whatever the case may be, I pray that the Lord will have mercy on my sins and that I'll still be repentant in the time leading to my death.
