Anya ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I'm with ND--"Christian" is the term for all people who believe in Christ and the trinity, and the two main types of Christians are Catholic and Protestant, and the various subcategories below Protestant
That's what I've always thought.
'Cept what about Orthodox Christianity?
eta: Orthodox x-post....
Well, I'd say there are three main types--Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox.
What falls under Orthodox? I'd never thought about there being a third grouping for Christians.
t edit Oh, duh -- do you mean Greek Orthodox? Are there any other [fill in the blank] Orthodox Christian churches?
What falls under Orthodox?
The guys in Russia, etc. who split from the Catholic Church, um... long long long long time ago....
eta:
Are there any other [fill in the blank] Orthodox Christian churches?
I don't think so. I always thought "Orthodox" = "Greek Orthodox."
eta: Guess not....
Greek and Russian Orthodox.
The original split in the Church was between Western (Catholic) and Eastern (Orthodox) Christians.
Russian Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox, maybe a few others.
The way I was taught in CCD was that Orthodox was the first form of Protestants, even though they weren't technically protesting anything. That way, they could deny the ancient history of Orthodox Catholics and can rank them with The Others.
Latvian Orthodox!
Well, they were protesting the lineage of the Pope if memory serves.
geez, JZ, I hope that girl gathered some kind of sense along the way.
