So do Catholics. If you read the Creed in the missalette, “catholic” is lower-case.

Thank you I am not up and up on missalettes as we don’t use them.
I’m sorry the point I am trying to make is that we SPEAK the creed, not spell it. It may make a diff when teaching a person in RCIA or as a student in a college writing it, but, as speaking God doesn’t care about capitals. When Jesus asked Peter who do you say I am and he said the Christ, Jesus did not say did you spell that with a large C, Peter.
If this is basic I think if this sperates us ( the East and the West) than so be it.
Amen.

And don’t we respect a person more if he or she stands up for their principles?

I am a member of a club and we have a mission statement and three goals and three ways to achieve these. But not everyone is on the same page or the same chapter but we better all be in the same book.

So, as I understand this now, we in the “Holy Orthodox Catholic Church of the East” (a canonical name of our communion), which has never ceased referring to itself as the “Catholic Church” must now refrain from using the term “Orthodox Catholic” (itself an accommodation to those in the communion of the Church of Rome which also appropriates the name “Catholic Church”). Even “Eastern Orthodox” is a western derived term and technically foreign to us. I guess we *could *consider ourselves “Catholic Not in Communion with Rome”? Probably not.
To me, our participation here under this new requirement (and home in NCR) is tantamount to our saying that the Communion of Rome is correct and we are wrong. That I cannot do.

Just curious, for clarity, reverse the table. You are now on an Orthodox Church website, open to the world. Would it matter in your communications with the world, if “the Orthodox Church”
  • had a specific meaning,
  • or a broad general meaning
    Could anybody call themselves the Orthodox Church, or not? Where is the dividing line in your opinion?
