when Orthodoxy exists?

ORTHODOXY:
Didn't make you say magic words (in defiance of the will of our Lord Jesus Christ) in ancient babble for hundreds of years
Didn't make up a fantasy baby hell to sell you get-out-of-punishment-free cards
Didn't ban your priests from marrying even though family life is the will of God
Didn't try to subject the world to a proto-globalist one world government
Didn't try to monopolize all religious authority in the hands of a single man
 
I definitely see where you're coming from, but I do think that arguing about practices within the church rather than realizing Christ's message about the Law is what has led to its division.

It's just the prayers Christ taught us in latin?

Imagine being orthodox and taking the moral high ground in regards to corruption. At least the RCC doesn't have it's priests driving around in sports cars

Cathcucks keep losing

I'm not a Catholic, but I would guess people promote it as an alternative to the DIY religious beliefs/lifestyles today. Also I assume some don't promote Orthodoxy because of its national divisions (Russian, Greek, Armenian, Syriac, etc.) as opposed to Catholicism's whole universality.

In the UK, and I assume other English-speaking countries, Catholicism is usually associated with rebellion (Ireland, in particular) and stubborn resistance to cultural degredation.

Same with the Orthodox except instead of being in Latin it's in Church Slavonic.

There's a reason for this that makes a lot of sense: these languages are basically dead outside of liturgical use and do not change and evolve over time so there is no risk the theological meaning of the liturgy will change due to a shift in the usage of certain words or changes. Another benefit is the liturgy will be exactly the same everywhere in the world it is celebrated.

Compare the modern day meaning of "ejaculate" with its archaic usage for example.

I thought the Eastern Orthodox used the vernacular in each country (Russian in Russia, Greek in Greece, etc.).

I do agree with the reasoning of having an official theological language, what I dislike in Catholicism (and may be wrong about in Orthodoxy) is when the church service is in the theological language since that makes it inaccessible to most people, so the words may be precise but the appreciation of it is lost.
 
The Catholics I have met IRL are the friendliest, most genuine people I've ever encountered. No other group of people has treated me as kindly.

I will fistfight anyone who tries to tell me that I am misinterpreting my own opinion.

As for Orthodoxy, I've always found it too parochial. They don't seem to want you if you aren't part of their ethnic community. And then there's the Russian Orthos, who are just simps for Putin.

I'm not sure but they probably use the vernacular for the sermon/homily other parts of the liturgy that are not part of the liturgy itself. Back in the day Catholics had missals with the Latin/Vernacular printed in them.

Ecclesiastical Latin is actually one of the easiest forms of Latin to write down and understand.

Yeah but we don't speak Latin now (I know Vatican II allowed vernacular mass, but I mean in all the time up until then)
Indulgences brah

And Christ's kingdom is not of this earth
St. Peter's been dead for two thousand years
