ArchivedCommunion: A right way to do it? You can believe the revisionistic lies of the RCC all you want. However, the information about the early history of the RCC shared on that site is fact. I notice you simply chose to add some information and not show the facts are false.
As to the Orthodox churches being a part of the universal (catholic) Church of Christ; so are all true believers that are non-Roman Catholics regardless of what your church teaches.
Political intrigue, military force, forced conversions, and murder are at the very foundation of the hetetical heirarchy that is the Roman Catholic Church. Rom 12:3-8
3 For through the grace given to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 And since we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let each exercise them accordingly: if prophecy, according to the proportion of his faith; 7 if service, in his serving; or he who teaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
NAS
Eph 4:1-7
4:1 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, entreat you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, showing forbearance to one another in love, 3 being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all. 7 But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.
NAS
