As someone who is neither Orthodox nor Catholic but neutral, Orthodoxy feels much more natural to me
Plus he made a mistake. The orthodox faith doesn't forbid or limit gay people anything, its just our countries were mostly communist and conservative and its our tradition more than religion that makes us feel unnatural about it
He left out the whole bread thing, and the spoon!
You forget about Protestantism
@@mustang8206 Protestantism is an offshoot of catholicism, when the Romans got inventive and loose with theology, protestants rightly realized something was wrong but then proceeded to toss the baby out with the bathwater to get where they are today
Based.
Orthodoxy is the True Catholic Church. Romanism is cringe
Well, I am Austrian Catholic. My girlfriend is Serbian Orthodox. We celebrate all catholic and orthodox festivals together and really enjoy to learn from each other. Everyone is proud of his religion. Cheers to Christianity
God bless u both
Srpski zet😀
I know that it is not the case today, but as a historian I find it rather amusing and wholesome that you as an Austrian is dating a Serbian. The reason why I find this so is because your countries beef with one another started WW1 and changed the world forever.
Plus it might be a possibility that your ancestors were trying to shoot each other
@@glassychap1141 good argument! And you are totally right. We both like history, travelling and we talk often about such things and watch documentaries (like this one). My granddad was stationed in Yugoslavia during WW2, while her great granddad died unfortunately. But yeah. Luckily these times passed and hopefully never come back. I love Serbia and their amazing hospitality. Also she also finds it amusing that I wear a Gavrilo Princip T-Shirt for sleeping (got it as a present in Serbia ;'D ) Well what should I say .... hahahhaa
I’m curious, if you both have children, what do you plan to teach them ? Which church will they go? I’m in a similar position and kinda need to decide…
The Orthodox are our brothers. As a Catholic, I hope each and every Orthodox Christian knows that. I wish there was never a schism. Much respect ☦️
If catholics would simply grow longer beards, then the schism would heal🙏
Thanks im a orthodox respect to catholics your our brother
Interesting that the Schism and comparing Martin Luther turned into more division and hate. Some were in the neighborhood of 35,000 denominations!
the fact they all Follow Jesus Christ should alone be that reason. @@LordiValimartti
I'm coming from a mixed Catholic - Orthodox background. My Catholic relatives have been very religious, church going people. There have been nuns, priests and church musicians among them. When I was young I was absolutely indifferent to Orthodoxy and the only connection I had was the fact I was baptised Orthodox as a child. Although not being very religious, I absolutely loved Catholic church and was often to masses, weddings and baptisms. I was like one inch close to converting to Catholicism.
Getting older I've become more and more into Orthodoxy. It's traditional, raw, mystical, spiritual, kind and there's nothing more sublime than the Holy Orthodox liturgy.
I still have got a great respect and the deepest feelings for the Catholic church and it's followers, but I'm finally happy being Orthodox myself.
You should go to a Byzantine rite or traditional Latin mass. It's what the Catholic church was and should still be.
@CJ1403UTube Thank you, but I'm absolutely happy where I'm right now. Besides, even if I were interested in it, it's not available anywhere near.
Greetings, my beloved begotten sister/brother! I have some feedback if that's okay. I'd like to say that we as people are so glad that you have converted to Orthodoxy. I so agree it's much more traditional and pretty much more experienced than anything else. That's because it's connected to the Julian calendar (it's old style, but it's the truth) which is a lot better than the Catholic Gregorian calendar (modern-day people celebrate) that my personal opinion is not very truthfully celebrated and not very old style either(old style Julian calendar - either ancient, but has more experience and is blended with Orthodoxy - the traditional way to celebrate the best Orthodox holidays) you know that in Greek it translates to "Prawoslawye"? This is why in the Southern East countries, there are countries that are part of the Balkan. The Balkans are countries, located in the South East(Europe) where many of the population in there who are in it are called Slavic people. Over the past years, history has been one of the top main traditions and cultures from which we adapted today. Bulgaria, one of the Balkans, (next to the Black Sea borders) has one of the largest History in the whole of Europe (probably in the world too), and it's placed the second best mineral baths(in the world?) In the whole continent. As a Bulgarian person, if we ever have been asked how much big is either our history, culture, tradition (etc), oh my, it's going to be, a never-ending topic! Not only in Bulgaria but also in the whole Balkan municipality too! There's Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia- one of my beloved countries that has one of the most amazing cultures and traditions ever recorded. My apologies for not providing more information, as because of that will be probably one of the longest comments ever, but if you'd like to dig deeper into our Balkan world, you are always free to explore and learn about the amazing story of, Slavic people, one of the most amazing countries in the whole world.. ()may God bless you with grace and hope, and remember, Jesus loves you. ❤️ Toddles!~

Underrated comment
Switch catholic and Orthodox
10:04 fun fact is that Orthodox people rearly sit while praying. It's an exaggeration to say "it happens more" because 99% people stand during prayers (even most of children) even for hours. The thing is that Orthodox churches do have some chairs benches, but they are generally used by old or sick people while the prayer is going on but they are placed near the walls while most of the actual church is empty (for people to stand) with the middle part usually having the icon of the sait of the church (this can vary). Everything here obviously varies from region to region (im personally from Serbian Orthodox region) but it looked like a fun detail to mention here
Great video btw, really enjoyed it

This is so interesting. I’m Roman Catholic and I’ve always felt like we were very traditional and conservative. I had no idea that the Orthodox Church was even more so. It seems like there are pretty significant differences that I never realized.
I don't think that part of this video was very well presented. There are people who call themselves Catholic, but have even been to an extent excommunicated or barred from receiving Holy Communion, such as some politicians who push anti-Christian things, and are called not real Catholics. To refer to a survey of people who call themselves Catholic and then give an answer on a social or political issue, isn't really comparing two religions. What does the Bible say about it? What does the Pope say? What are the teachings of the two churches? And if the video is going to mention a current fad, why not give more of a history, how only in very very very recent years has public opinion swayed a bit, at the moment, to support gay marriage, etc. Perhaps someone will say yes they support it, but some years ago they didn't, and their parents and grandparents don't, who are of the same religion. To look at a snapshot of public opinion (and what self identifying Catholics were surveyed? Just those in the US?) and tell us about the differences between Catholic and Orthodox, in my opinion is not really explaining the differences between the two. It would be like highlighting when someone sins, or is in error, and saying that defines their beliefs. No, that is a sin or an error according to their belief system or their religion.

I agree
absolutely, together against degeneracy
Im sure Francis has a plan…
Orthodoxism prays to the God as main diety, orthodoxism allows divorces if the spose is alchoolic, violent, or sociopathic, orhodoxism allows marriage withing the church of an orthodox and another type of christian, without reconversion as it is believed that baptizing a follower of christ twice, is a heresy. And we don't pay a monthly tax to be part of the church. You pay a gift when you baprize a child, when you get married and when somebody dies, but not monthly, and nobody ex communicates you if you haven't went to the church for a year. So i don't think that will happen too soon.
Protestant: "Are you friends?"
Catholic: "Yes!"

Exactly.
I was raised Greek Orthodox. Catholics do things a bit different but Evangelicals and Pentecostals are their own branch I see very little in common with.
I went from Pentecost to orthodox I’m much more happy with the decision it’s Coptic if your wondering

Fun fact for all fellow Skyrim fans out there: In the Orthodox Church we have a holy place that very much resembles the High Hrothgar and the Greybeards. It's a collection of monasteries on Mt Athos in Greece which we call "The Holy Mountain". There are monks from all around the Orthodox world, and in some monasteries life hasn't changed much since the Byzantine era. Sadly no Shouts, but you can't have everything. Greetings from a Serbian Orthodox guy.
I once tried going to a orthodox monastery in Montenegro during winter which is solely inhabited by monks. As you may know, the mountains can be quite steep and the snow was way to high for the driver to make it the whole way, so we got stuck. But the view from high up on the mountain was something looking like it was straight out of Skyrim.
I recommend you go there my friend. They do not speak English very well though. It would be perfect if you spoke Greek

Thank you for this video!!! I have definitely learned something new today thank you!
This was really interesting. I'm a protestant Christian and was never taught very much about these two denominations until college. It'd be interesting to see more videos about different religions as well!
In my opinion the reason for so many Christians group's is because of their own beliefs and what they think of what the bible means and spirituality as well.
@@PA-1000 no the reason for all these denominations is so that the people how created them can make money. Example: All of those tv evangelists, those are protestants and they are literally become multi millionaires from doing. It is not just different beliefs. We’re not talking about mythological beings here. Well that is if you actually believe that Jesus is the son of God. My point is that the early church was founded on what Jesus said and Protestantism started in the 16th century so how can the Protestant church honestly say that what they believe in is the real thing when their church started around 1500 years after Jesus died? @Morgan Mcglasson if you’re really interested look into the Orthodox Church. I will guarantee it will change your mind.
Denominations are a protestant creation
Have you read Malachi chapter 3 verse 8? Do you have to pay tithe money?

3:33- Just gonna point out that Catholics, in fact, are NOT supposed to believe the Pope is always infallible: he is only believed to be that way when speaking Ex Cathedra
@@domco_i more specifically when speaking formally and when doing so ok the seat of peter. He can make personal comments regarding doctrinal issues and ot wouldn't be infallible. For example saying something in passing or on an interview. Even if it relates to doctrinal issues.
Ex Cathedra is a very specific event. Very rare. But nonetheless the power is given to him.
How do priests maintain their celebacy?
I find all the religious rankings like Pope to be stuff us men made up and I find it unnecessary.
@@zdvxr fair enough, in matters of orthodoxy and catholics it is a point of contention. It has to be said that the orthodox do acknowledge papal primacy. Or used to. The contention was as to what extent, Papal Supremacy or first among equals. After the split, they gave the first among equals to the patriarch of Constantinople (which at the time was the capital of the Roman Empire)
Early Christianity did recognize the importance of the bishop of rome as the arbiter when it comes to theological disputes. Way before Christianity was even legal under the empire. Which is why most orthodox Christian beliefs, like the Hypostatic Union and Mary being Theotokos was made under the guidance of the councils and the Pope.
Hierarchy is central to Christianity as it has been established ever since the Apostolic Age. With Peter being head of the apostles
@@zdvxr yeah me too, as there's only one mediator between the father and that is through the Son and is the only one that can absolve us of our sins according to God's word and not an institution of man's assumptions
I’m here for the second time. I watched this after I met an orthodox friend on instagram and I wanted to understand more. Now I am dating an orthodox christian whilst I am a catholic christian. I wondered why my SO did somethings differently than I did but now, it’s getting clearer and clearer.
Very well documented and presented 👍
Difference is simple:
Orthodox - have beards;
Catholics - don't have beards.
In my place many catholic priests have beards
Random people don't have all beards or have some. But the priests in the Orthodox Church have them more
haha
Beards have nothing to do with it. That's not a difference at all. There is only one genuine difference and that is the Pope who is the leader of the catholic church; but other then that both catholic and orthodox are exactly the same. We are united as one!
@@zackq8865 one house - many mansions
My mom is from Bulgaria, so I know a lot about Eastern Orthodox Christianity. Eastern Orthodox Christianity’s cross has three lines the normal one, right above the normal one is a much smaller line, and a long diagonal line at the bottom. That is supposed to represent The Holy Trinity. Look up Eastern Orthodox cross to see it.
Edit: I forgot to mention that the middle one represents the son because Jesus’s arms were hanging there, the top the father because God rules heaven, and finally the bottom represents the Holy Spirit because it roams Earth.

As a third generation Catholic in Asia, I can vouch that growing up, we would fast for the whole forty days during Lent and will abstain from meat on Fridays and Holy Days of Obligation. We also don't have any culture of seeking easter eggs or eating chocolates for Easter. Perhaps it is something that is common in Western countries, but Catholics are certainly very strict and uphold to traditions here.

I must admit, I was extremely surprised by how accurate this video was! Obviously there were things that were oversimplified, things that were missed, but over all it was a great video! I am Eastern Orthodox, but my church serves the Western Rite Mass. This is really important to us because of our western culture, and yet our belief in Orthodox faith. We are a very small minority but growing rapidly and I obviously wouldn't expect that to be mentioned in this video. However, many people believe that to become Orthodox means giving up all western culture and becoming Eastern which is not true due to the Western Rite.

Very informative video. Other videos or texts started with deeper concepts that clarified nothing for me, such as the names of the authorities and nothing about what specifically was different. This helped me, thanks a lot!!!
I'm a Catholic and among the more traditional variety. We should follow the ancient tradition of our church during Lent and also fast for 40 days as our Orthodox brethren do. I attempted this for Lent this year, and though I failed a couple of times, it is truly something which enriches the soul. We should also follow the tradition of fasting on all Wednesdays and Fridays. I'm Scottish and in Scottish Gaelic, the names of three days of the week relate to this old fasting tradition - Wednesday is DiCiadain, "day of the first fast", Thursday is DiarDaoin, "day between the fasts", and Friday is DihAoine, "day of the fast".
Continually praying for our churches to unify some day.
Unify in being defunct perhaps. Religion is a cancer.

@@BobRooney290 Who hurt you bro.
One small thing you mentioned, but is very important, everyone who is able to stand in Orthodox Church must stand since you are in the presence of Lord. I have never ever see anyone siting in Church for nearly 30 years..
Definitely to show respect!
Even the elders are standing though out the whole service
As someone who used to go to the orthodox church (when I was forced too), young kids were allowed to sit? Not sure, my memory is fuzzy
I think it depends on the type of orthodox church. In the Syriac Orthodox church you are allowed to sit if you feel tired, so a lot of very old people and pregnant women sit (typically not for the whole liturgy, but when they feel tired)
@@insertunoroginalnamehere6189 Disabled old and children are not force as rarely anything is in church
@@insertunoroginalnamehere6189 you may have been forced to by your parents, but the church orthodox church does not force anything on anyone. You want to sit, you sit. You want to participate in the communion, you can. You don't feel to participate in the whole leitourgy, but you want to light a candle and leave, you are welcme to do that too. As long as it comes from you. That said, at least in Greece, the old people get the chairs as they go early.
first correction: the Pope is infallible only when he makes doctinal statements on matters of morals and faith.. this has only happened a few times in all of church history
What was the second correction

@@nickwilson2525 As a "Protestant" I thought he made Catholics sounds more modern, open, and humble. This is despite the fact that the retention of Orthodoxy in Europe seems to be quite a bit stronger than that of Catholics (Romania, Greece, Serbia, etc. are all still overwhelmingly Orthodox).
As a Greek Orthodox, our religion has never changed since it was originally created. The split of the church has caused the invasion of Greece in 1400s by the Ottoman Turks and a lot of Orthodox Church members still to this day blame the Catholics for what happened.
Dont get me started with the Turks lol
Why should anyone blame a religious schism over a matter of warfare?
@Lester the guru No mention of "The Massacre of the Latins (Roman Catholics) of 1182" committed by the Orthodox Christians.
@Lester the guru Murdering 60,000 people just because they were Roman Catholic is ethnic genocide. Not something to laugh about. You are a sick person.
All churches derive from the roman catholics therefor theyre all false

So thanks for that, i actually learned something today!❤
It was a Sunday in the southern United States with no Roman catholic church near and this Orthodox church received us with open arms and love
The Orthodox don't just "think that's what the early fathers believed," we know it. We have receipts lol. The creation of doctrine is well documented. The Nicene Creed read "who proceeds from the father, who together with the father and son is worshipped and glorified." In fact, even the Pope agreed with this and said "this can never be changed," until another pope a couple decades later decided it could.

Major points missing about the Orthodox church: The importance of Saints and the use of icons. Also, you should have mentioned the strong focus on tradition and living like the Bible says, instead of just learning the Bible in detail. Lastly, you should have mentioned that the Greeks use the original new testament text, while the rest use translated versions.
Exactly.
Catholics take importance of saints too but i do hope the Catholic church would be more traditional. 🙏😊
Cant be the original teachings of Jesus because Jesus spoke a semitic language called aramaic and came fron the jews of nazareth
@@mohamedhersi7391 The standard language of international communication and written speech back then was Greek. It was to them what English is to us today. Furthermore, the Apostles began writing the books of the new testament after their enlightenment by the Holy Spirit. Therefore they were indeed expressing the word of God in their writings.
@@skinshaveskills no it wasnt the standard language of international communication and covered only the areas in roman empire and surrounding areas and was used mostly by people in government and trade, it was not spoken in africa, majority of asia therefore not the same as english which reached all 4 corners of earth. Jesus was not a businessman or an educated man acclrding to you he is a sheperd. Where is your proof he spoke greek?

Ever wonder how lucky you must be that you just happened to be, by a huge accident of time and geography, to be born into the one "genuine" religion? No doubt had you been born to a hunter-gatherer tribe in South America 1,000 years ago you would have nevertheless broken from your entire society and announced Orthodox Christianity to be the one, genuine religion.

When it comes to religion, first principle is to NEVER change it from its original nature. Keep it as it was taught on the first place.
Orthodox makes sense.
The never change part is religion's fatal flaw. It's why the US census reveals ever increasing numbers of nonbelievers. We are roughly one quarter of the US population now. That number is both ever increasing and undercounted.
@@johnryan6658 Nope, I'm an Orthodox and I believe he is right. In religion you should not try to change anything that comes from God. Even the smallest drop of poison can make a great water tank useless.
The increasing number of nonbelievers in your country is happening EXACTLY because you've changed and stopped following your Christian traditions in the name of "progress".
You became weak in faith, you care more for your personal image that your God (obviously I'm not referring to you personally brother, I'm talking about your country).
You see someone vandalizing a church or blaspheme in various ways and you do nothing because you're afraid that they'll call you an extremist, not to mention that you financially support the showbiz, musical and cinematic industries which are fighting Christianity for decades in order to corrupt your people and the whole world with demonic ideas, images and songs.
@@Serros13 Lol, pretty sure even nonbelievers wouldn't put up with vandalism. That's a real exaggeration. Atheists still believe in laws and morals.
As far as "doing nothing" when they witness "blasphemy:" What exactly are you saying a Christian should do?
@@colekimball4945 Perhaps some atheists and unbelievers have morals and values, but not all. Radicals exist in every religion and ideologies... and if you think I'm exaggerating then all you have to do is google it yourself.
As for what a Christian should do in the face of blasphemy, it's simple: grow a pair and react the same as if someone insulted his/her mother, father, sister, daughter etc.
Then you should be a jew much like rabbi yeshua before you.
Catholicism and Orthodoxy rely on history and discipline. Pray for me and others who often get lost on the narrow road of repentance.
I pray you not get led astray by false doctrine.
Pray to Mary statue and the saints yes 👍
My best friend is a devout Catholic and is very upset about the Pope's decision to ban Latin mass as he thinks it is disrespectful to forgo the traditions of the Church. He has even gone to a few Orthodox masses because of this. Catholicism seems to move more with the times- whether positive or negative. Perhaps in an effort to be more "Universal". And the Orthodox Church remains more traditional.
Thats the whole idea, its in the name Orthodox =correct belief. They change nothing that was given to the Apostles By Christ. Why would that be permissible?
What the Latin mass has not been banned the guy is waffling probably a mad sedevancist tell him to go Byzantine right and follow his church
Since my family is from southern Spain I grew up catholic but I always had some kind of disagreements with the Catholic Church and as I hear about the Orthodox Church I do agree with them more🫢🫢
Read more and you will find the truth. They didn't have too much difference. But the Orthodox church is more conservative and follows the teaching of Jesus Christ as much as possible. I am Tigrian from Ethiopia.

The filioque, which likely originated in Spain as a defense against Arianism, only became a controversy when members of Charlemagne’s court adopted it and accused the Greeks of heresy for reciting The Creed in its original form. Even the pope at the time thought it was a bad idea to mess with The Creed. The real issue between East and West is the doctrine of papal infallibility and the idea that the pope, by himself, can define church doctrine. The Orthodox are proponents of the conciliar method employed in the great ecumenical councils forming the basis of the faith, where ALL the bishops met, discussed, and adopted doctrine together. It was the presence and collaboration of all the church leaders together which facilitated the holy spirit’s intervention.
The Holy Spirit's intervention, but yes.
The origin of the Roman Catholic Church in its present form is Charlemagne. He established the Holy (no, not hardly) Roman (no, German) Empire (not much compared to the Roman Empire in New Rome - Constantinople). He sought out obscure doctrines (filioque, exotic Redemption theories) and discredited practices (unleavened bread for Holy Communion, unmarried priests) to bring into his church to distinguish it from the Orthodox churches of the east, especially that of the Queen City, Constantinople. He was the reason for the split between East and West.
I'm Ukrainian Orthodox Catholic, here in the USA. Our church is in communion with Rome, although we have retained all our Orthodox traditions.
No matter what, we are all worshippers of JESUS CHRIST, the KING OF KINGS, the Shepherd and thats what unite us all.
Let peace prevail on earth.

Just to clarify: Papal Infallibilty in the Catholic Church only applies to When the Pope is speaking on matters of faith and morals, as well as when he has specifically stated that he is speaking "ex cathedra" (from the chair of Peter). This is very uncommon, and rarely happens during the time most Popes are in power. In short, video missed a pretty key detail.
Also I think it is important to note that Catholics do actually fast during Lent, it just happens to be less .. how do I put this.. intense? than Orthodox fasting. And fasting on Fridays is something that I wish more people did, tbh I think most just forget that is something we're generally supposed to do.
Agreed. He really missed that. Here in the Roman Rite fasting from dairy is not a requirement during lent but from meat it is
You beat me to it. That line about Catholics believing that the Pope "never gets things wrong" really discredited this video.
You forgot that he is also speaking in communion with all the bishops. But yes, this video missed a lot on both sides.
As Catholics we do celebrate Christ’s victory over death.
Neither the pope nor eastern orthodox have any authority, for they both follow Jesus who was a false prophet, he did not fulfill any of the messianic prophecies.
