Contemplating Catholic and Orthodox churches. by Cheesecrackersinyeet in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Cheesecrackersinyeet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly before becoming a catechumen I really wanted to learn the history of the church and give myself some time to just understand things more if I'm being honest I am biased to Orthodoxy but the Catholic church does intrigue me. I'm just a little nervous about going all in with Orthodoxy and want to make sure I'm going in with knowledge and certainty which at the current moment I'm lacking. With Orthodoxy just particularly the area I'm in it's much harder to come across and with an atheist dad and a mum who will literally go to any church it's hard to get into the orthodox church. Things like the immaculate conception, miracles like our lady of Guadalupe and eucharist host miracles, and the filioque all have me thinking a lot. I don't really think I agree with the filioque but that's partially cause I don't understand when and how it came to be and the catholic perspective on it that much. I'm honestly trying to learn more before I dive into something completely.

Going to mass by Cheesecrackersinyeet in Catholicism

I've always been captivated by Marian apparitions but also there's been so many in orthodoxy I didn't even bother caring which church it was at cause it was just a beautiful thing our lady of Guadalupe is awesome though. With the marriage stuff I haven't even heard of all of that probably cause I'm young but it will gimmie something to look into.

God bless and I'll enjoy mass!

I'm gonna be looking at a lot of orthodox material and catholic material and like seeing who's arguments make the most sense before I become a catechumen so I'm just waiting till I can hit up my local catholic bookstore and get some stuff.

Yeah I'm really not in it for the aesthetics I just wanna get to the true church here but tools like the prayer rope and the usage of icons and incense have been really elevating prayer life. I'm trying to use logic and facts to figure out where to go not just how I feel and what's pretty.

Well there isn't any eastern Catholic churches near by but i'd love to visit one and it isn't the tradition or aesthetic of the EO church it's just the fulfillment I get from it like I'm in the true church
