Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, Moscow, Belgrade, Sofia, Prague, Warsaw, Washington, Athens, Bucharest, Tblisi, Nicosia, Tirana, St. Catherine’s.

Same answer.

So the same place.
 
If Rome is wrong, go to Makkah and Madinah for the correct answers.

LOL - Silly silly person. Must be a trick question… Rome isn’t wrong therefore the question is irrelevant.
 
Rome, meaning the Vatican and the Pope and all the Bishops?,:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Because Jesus promised that the “Gates of Hell” would never prevail against His Church. This is our guarantee that Rome, or more correctly, the Vatican will never be wrong when our Holy Father the Pope, while sitting on the Chair of Peter in union with the Bishops speaks.👍

As a Bumper Sticker I once saw said…“JESUS SAID IT-I BELIEVE IT!”👍

It is better not to gamble with your eternal life. Just stick to the proven one and ye can never go wrong.
 
Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? …"
(Jn 6:68)

Sort of like the old trick question: How many angels can dance on the point of a needle?
:hmmm:
The answer is that angels don’t occupy space, therefore the question is invalid. Or as St. Thomas Aquinas reminds us, “we must not think of angels as if they were corporeal,” (Catholic Encylcopedia, Thomism).

Why would you waste your time pondering irrelevant matters when you could be spending your time contemplating the nature of God?

The question is not mine. I have seen it asked repeatedly as a trump card on various posts on various threads, as a trump card against the Orthodox (and Protestants). Somehow the Latins think we are utterly lost and wandering without Rome, so if we didn’t have the pope of Rome, we wouldn’t know what to do. We do know.

As for Mecca and Medinah, that’s strictly off the reservation.

hmmmm…

straight to the source i guess.
 
This question is similar to asking a Christian “where do you go if Christ wasn’t God”.

Yes it’s curious that attitude given

The Church knows that she is joined in many ways to the baptized who are honored by the name of Christian, but do not profess the Catholic faith in its entirety or have not preserved unity or communion under the successor of Peter." Those “who believe in Christ and have been properly baptized are put in a certain, although imperfect, communion with the Catholic Church.” With the Orthodox Churches, this communion is so profound “that it lacks little to attain the fullness that would permit a common celebration of the Lord’s Eucharist.”

I would wager that the difference between both of our intended meanings is purely semantical and we are both really talking about the same thing.

On that note, the words of your response are speaking to exactly what my point was, why are you wasting time asking whether or not you or I are right or wrong when you could be contemplating Him?

A side question, Your signature says, “Orthodox in communion with the Pope of Alexandria,” and your profile says, “Arab Orthodox,” is this Coptic Orthodox or Greek Orthodox? Or is it something else entirely?

I just saw the question asked (rhetorically, I’m sure) several times here. Just thought I’d answer.

Greek Orthodox in Arabic, although in many ways were are with the Orientals rather than New Rome. Melkite Orthodox, if that helps.

Well if that happens the gates of Hell have prevailed and we would have been living a lie … needless to say we would be in deep doodoo.
 
Two things:

Since Rome is the ‘Yard Stick’ of every religion in existence, how will one know WHEN it is wrong, unless one measures Rome AGAINST Rome?

Since “Rome is wrong” means Christ lied, what is the point of ANYTHING else?

:cool:
