That’s debatable, but we’re so close to communion again (god willing), so it’s not even worth the debate. At least we can agree that this prideful guy trying to argue with everyone probably hasn’t even read scripture.
If you're talking about the Orthodox, well yeah obviously Jesus also founded the Orthodox, there is a reason that we don't call them heretics, just schismatics.
Mostly due to the fact that unlike the Byzantines, we never had a iconoclast period where ancient Greek icons where destroyed.. Pope Gregory III was threatened with invasion and arrest by Emperor Leo III for his opposition to the mass cultural destruction.
Stunning ❤️🙏
Absolutely beautiful. The icons of the Theotokos are always incredible.
Made up
And why are you here?
In this community? I am a Christian
Love it
Do you like living in beautiful lies? Orthodoxy is definitely for you. As an ex-Orthodox apologist I recommend you to stay with truth
Agree, definetly Catholicism is the truth, but byzantine icons are awesome
What Catholicism exactly? and how can we verify your definition of what Catholic religious tradition is, is objective?
Because Jesus founded the Catholic Church duh

But yeah, God willing we'll be One once again.
Catholic Church is not Catholicism
Tell me again who is the guy named Rock that Jesus said would be the rock upon His Church would be founded?
Fanatic what are you talking about? Nationalist?
What?
It's literally Peter dude hahaha
Cool down, no one is arguing with you on any topics except for the initial one.
My question is: Are you a follower of any type of Nationalism?
I'm not a very Nationalistic person tbh. But again what does this have to do with the Catholic Church?
Eastern Catholicism has the same iconography.
This is a Bulgarian Eastern Orthodox artist as I understand https://icons-bg.com/hudozhnik-na-risuvani-ikoni/rosen/
My point is that Eastern Catholics usually get their icons from orthodox sources.
I know who made this given I own it lol.
I was actually very surprised when I went to Rome and saw so many churches having old bizantine style icons.
Also in the Church of the Holy Stairs I literally bought a pantocrator icon, literally imported from Greece lol
Rome has the oldest Marian icons in the world.
Salus Populi Romani.
