is there such thing as "Catholic Orthodox"??

Question

my priest told me there is no such thing as the "Catholic Orthodox" denomination

Answer 1

No.

The Catholics and Orthodox Churches separated from each other in 1054.

There are very few theological differences. The main difference is that the Orthodox Churches (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/11329a.htm) use the Byzantine Rite (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04312d.htm) and the Catholic Church use the Roman or Latin Rite.

Pope John Paul II said of the Orthodox Churches in Orientale Lumen, "A particularly close link already binds us. We have almost everything in common." (see http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/john_paul_ii/apost_letters/documents/hf_jp-ii_apl_02051995_orientale-lumen_en.html )

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Yes. There are 22 Orthodox Churches that have come back into Communion with Rome.

EDIT: I am a Catholic your information is outdated. As I stated 22 Orthodox Churches have come back into communion with Rome and not all Orthodox Churches, like the Maronites were part of the Great Schism.
The The Catholic-Orthodox Joint Declaration of 1965 formal withdrew the mutual excommunication.

Answer 3

Not in the way you have laid it out......

There are Rites in the Church which are similar to the Orthodox Divine Liturgy (i.e. Byzantine Rite Catholics), but they are Catholics.

There is also a movement within some branches of the Orthodox communion known as "Western Rite Orthodox," which has a liturgical form similar to the Latin Rite in the Catholic Church, but subject to a patriarch of the Orthodox.

Answer 4

I hope Orthodox Catholic too.

Answer 6

I surely have been a catholic my finished existence and that i've got been heavily analyzing the bible for the final 2 years. i'm additionally saddened to take heed to some preachers on my sought after Christian radio station differentiate Catholicism from Christianity. i think of we've some traditions that are no longer shown interior the bible (Mary worship, prayer to the saints, and so on...). yet interior the top we are Christians. i think of the main be conscious you stated is HATRED. each and every thing i've got examine interior the Bible factors in the direction of God's love for us and His expectation that we like eachother. it somewhat is the yardstick i've got faith we could consistently use for all our discussions. We Christians are to love everybody, kinfolk, acquaintances, pals, strangers, human beings of alternative faiths, or maybe those with out faith. i think of Bob Marley had it magnificent, "once you get down and quarrel on a daily basis. you're asserting prayers to the devil I say"
