Answers to the claims of 'My exodus from Roman Catholicism'?

[Lenten_ashes]

What doctrine or dogma do we Orthodox disagree on?

All Eastern Orthodox agree on the canon of Scripture. We would only need to make some declaration if there was disagreement.

I’m not saying they are like protestantism where one denomination may look completely different from another.

Just for starters, the Greek’s and Russian’s operate on different calendars. I know the Greeks tend to be more laid back and do not emphasize confession nearly as much as the Russians. And the Greeks still do not read from the book of Revelation in the liturgy, leading some within the church to consider it non-canonical; while the Russians do use it in the divine liturgy.

Local canocity is a habit from the early Church, still not totally broken from as the Eastern Churches have anywhere from 76-81 books depending on which one you refer to. There’s no universally approved canon to this day.

My overall assessment of the Orthodox Church is that it is much more unified than protestantism, but not on the same page on all matters.

Roman Catholics differ in various ways.
Some Roman Catholics receive Holy Communion kneeling on the tongue, whereas others will receive standing in the hand.
Some Roman Catholics approve of capital punishment, others do not.
Some Roman Catholics support government controlled health care for all, others do not.
Some Roman Catholics receive the precious Bread and Wine at Communion time, others will receive only the precious Bread.
Some Roman Catholics prefer to attend the Traditional Latin Mass, others prefer the New Mass in the vernacular.
Some Roman Catholics prefer the Gregorian chant, others prefer the modern guitar music at Mass.
So it is only natural that Greek Orthodox and Russian Orthodox will have slight variations in their practices just as there are variations within the Roman Catholic Church.

St. John Chrysostom says Peter was ruler of the whole world. He also says Peter was crown or head of the Apostles. If Peter is the ruler, as Chrysostom says, then would not the apostles be under Peter’s authority?

I am unable to find these quotes in their original context on New Advent or on other sites. Do you have links to where any of the original writings can be found?

Also, does Chrysostom state anywhere if Peter passed on his authority and to who it was passed on to?
