>On 6 May 2001 he became the first Catholic pope to enter and pray in a mosque, namely the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria. Respectfully removing his shoes, he entered the former Byzantine era Christian church dedicated to John the Baptist, who is also revered as a prophet of Islam. He gave a speech including the statement: "For all the times that Muslims and Christians have offended one another, we need to seek forgiveness from the Almighty and to offer each other forgiveness."[93] He kissed the Qur'an in Syria, an act that made him popular among Muslims but that disturbed many Catholics.[187] >tfw Catholics literally made this guy a saint
He isn't even the Pope anymore nigger. Well I guess that doesn't really matter since current Pope is even worse.

I'm Orthodox, did you read the whole OP?
He's a saint now, and yes, the current Pope is even worse
>A Christian brother and sister from Syria felt blessed to have been among the dozen refugees selected to start a new life in Italy — but now say their savior, Pope Francis, abandoned them on a Greek island, according to a report.
>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Brunne#Removal_of_Christian_symbols >Gerd Eva Cecilia Brunne (born 7 March 1954) is a bishop in the Church of Sweden. She became the Bishop of Stockholm in 2009. She is the first openly lesbian bishop of a mainstream church in the world and the first bishop of the Church of Sweden to be in a registered same-sex partnership. >n September 2015 Brunne proposed the removal of symbols of Christianity, including crosses, from the Seamen's Church in Stockholm Harbor, to open the church to worshipping sailors of all beliefs, and to mark the direction of Mecca as a service to Muslim visitors.[12][13][14] [15]
Don't post based Benedict, since your Church forced him out to make room for Francis.
As to your other point >As a result of its evangelism and missionary work, the Antiochian Archdiocese saw significant growth between the mid-1960s and 2012. The archdiocese had only 65 parishes across the United States in the mid-1960s and by 2011 this number had increased to 249 parishes.[5] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiochian_Orthodox_Christian_Archdiocese_of_North_America#Evangelism
>Thousands of Orthodox Christians attended Holy Week services in Greek Orthodox churches in Central and South America this year — but most were not of Greek descent.
>Of its 550,000 members, only 5,000 are Greek
And the Latin America presence was only established in 1996

i dont really buy the conspiracy theory about Benny being forced out. Dude was a smart guy and saw how rough JP2 had it at the end of his life, he was clearly worried about a pope having dementia or being in a coma or something and wanted to set a precedent about bowing out when you feel too old.
That said I know the greek church in my town does some mission work in the indio spic part of mexico where they feel abandoned and cucked by the government and the catholic churche

Hey constantine, Catholicism is growing in numbers much more than Orthodoxy, good luck catching up with us. The fact that you try to convert people by using slander on the CC and you use "le cuck pope" memes qualifies you. The fact that you attack Catholics instead of the heretical protestants qualifies you even more. Frankly, I have lost all respect of Orthodoxy because of you
Anthony Thomas
Benedict is apparently still coherent enough to criticized Vatican II.
Naw, he was forced out because he wasn't media friendly, and Pope Francis was chosen specifically to appease the media
Well, I hate to break it to you, but unlike the RCC, the Orthodox Church is not concerned with having the respect of heretics.

She proposed but was denied. You have a cuck leader that you have to listen to.

There are 11 Greek Orthodox Monasteries in the United States and Canada, with either monks or nuns, where you can take tours or spend a week in prayer with them.

Aiden Price
I feel the same way about your concern to appease heretics by watering down your theology in Vatican II. Benedict is on the same page with me on this
Josiah Adams
Even Renzi told Pope Poz I to fuck off, enjoy your lesbian muslim bishop and her minions
Kevin Richardson
>Benedict is on the same page with me on this he isn't, but I don't blame you for not knowing what you are talking about, as most Catholics talk about these things in complete ignorance too

kek, our bishop couldn't push any of her crazy ideals. Meanwhile your head of church is a fucking spawn of satan. Keep deflecting though.

If it weren't for Christians Islam would not exist in the first place. Look up the "Migration to Abyssinia"
Your Orthodoxy is nothing but a superficial identity layer. If you actually believed, you wouldn't post this degenerate anti-Catholic garbage every day.
