As a Christian you shouldn't judge them, but pray for them. They might be wrong in some things that they believe, but they're Christians as well, and we should work with them to retain are union. The last part of the question/rant is kind of confusing so I won't go there...

This is wrong on so many levels. The Pope of Rome was considered to be the first among equals before the split. Which meant he sat at the head of the table. He was never what the Pope is today. I guess you think the Orthodox just up and left the "unity of the Pope", but that makes no sense because look at the Orthodox Church... Straight Street in the book of Acts...what kind of a church is it hmmm Orthodox maybe? That isn't something that was done recently... The Romans got together and had their own council and added in the Filloque without telling any of the other churches that was the last straw and the Romans were excommunicated from the Eastern Church. The Romans also excommunicated the Orthodox, and started teaching many heresies. Now this is my little rant... I hope it makes some sense... haha

This troll is just trying to get everyone's goat.
He does NOT speak for every Catholic on these Q&A boards. The majority of us are way, way more open and tolerant of other's beliefs than this guy.
We love our Christian brothers and sisters, Protestant and Catholic. We're all one in Christ. Don't you believe this guy for a second. Let his trollness wash over you like water on a duck's back.

What is the only true religion? If you were a child of the King,you would not be humiliated by the world and what is said by another. You yell about denominations. God is a spirit and he lives within us. And he confirms the truth in are bodies.The Son of God is our source>Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith. 1 Peter. But we are a chosen people,a royal preisthood,a holy nation a people belonging to God that we may declare the praises of him who called us as his children out of darkness into his wonderful light. Stop trippn'

You must be really embarrased about rejecting the eighth ecumenical council back in 936 AD!
BTW, why does the Pope allow Orthodox fakes to accept Roman Catholic sacraments?

That is a very short sighted view of God's love.
God is neither a religion or a belief.
The one truth is God.
Catholics still have the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Do you still understand that they are one God, all at the same time?
You cannot know salvation yourself if you cannot trust that it's God that saves people (not a Church).

Really? Is that why Martin Luther basically told y'all to take a hike -- because you're so pure?
Luther split from the Catholic church because of all the corruption in the clergy and papacy. From what I've seen, nothing's changed in over five hundred years; in fact, it's gotten worse, if anything. You call that 'religion?'
You are correct -- there is only one truth, and organized religion ISN'T the truth; it's someone's VERSION of the truth.

wow. that's ridiculous! Catholicism is NOT the only true religion. Christ called his followers to be united in him. I believe CHRISTIANITY is the only true religion. to say that only catholics are going to heaven is a sad assumption, and you will be in for a rude awakening when you find that anyone who has a relationship with Jesus Christ makes it to heaven, regardless of what kind of church they go to. honestly, i know more catholics that are hypocrites than any other christian denomination. they do what they want and go to confession. if you want to win "us" non-catholics over, don't call us fake, and don't accuse us of humiliating you when you humiliate yourselves.

'Only true religion'? When will people ever wake up and smell the coffee? Read Peter de Rosas, 'Vicars of Christ', for an honest and intelligent view on the history of the Roman Catholic Church.
