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
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…
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
@@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
@@krzysztof4607 well first of all christianity started in israel and guess where it is its in the middle EAST and catholics are mostly of the west so yeah
As a Russian Orthodox Christian, I believe that we're all children of our Lord. Even Muslims, gays and other people who break God's commandments. We can pray for all of us. And wish for each one to repent of their sins and come to the Lord. And I don't think it's a sin to visit a Catholic church and worship there.
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.

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

im greek orthodox christian and this seems pretty accurate. whenever anything important happens the church stands up in unison and sits down in unison (other than some exceptions)
Thank you. After many years as an atheist I've read the Gospel and attending a church to draw near but find myself more and more intrigued by the Orthodox
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 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 agree. We have eastern catholics too and are very close to the orientals and orthodox.. Catholics and protestants are like siblings engaged in a fight over a toy.. protestants are like the neighbors kids with their own worldview
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.
@@lisaconnor4948 I wish everyone could see this. ..it’s too bad they don’t. So many Protestants attack us saying we are the ones wrong and they are the true church. Well, they can sell that to someone else since I WAS a lifelong very devout protestant and pastor until I discovered the jewel 💎 and truth of Orthodoxy.
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.
@@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 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.
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!~
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.
You can't convert to Eastern Orthodoxy, you need to be born by parents who are under Orthodoxy and you need to be baptized in an Orthodox Church! Just saying, I've been born under this religion and I know how things work! :)
@@hetiseennacht If you weren't baptized into orthodoxy when you were going through the transition...then he's right lad... technically ...you're NOT Orthodox.. Why switch anyway? Like Church of England.... Orthodoxy is NOT MUCH different than Catholicism. Now had you went through a REAL conversion to say like the Latter Day Saints, Mormon ..or Pentacostal...THEN you could go on bragging ..but Catholicism to Orthodox??? SERIOUSLY Lad? Not a drastic change.
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.
Greetings from an Orthodox Christian from Belgrade, a town that was founded by ancient Celts. You can check our music band from Serbia called "Orthodox celts" they play traditional, mostly Irish music. 😀
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.
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.
@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.
@Alpha Omega well if you actually were interested in this mess you would actually research it instead of naively giving your half assed opinion. But I’ll give you a head start. He already did come down to us and what did we do? We killed him. The problem with people like you is that you’re thinking God is just another human or God is our personal genie and we just have to snap our fingers and we tell God what to do.
Got alot of Russian friends who are Orthodox. I was raised protestant but after watching this I wanna become Orthodox and learn more about it 😅, it just seems so natural to me.
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
@@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).
Orthodox is first Christians then little changes catholic then protestants then baptism and then other Christians changes is fake put way for better physical life not means good for soul .....
Catholics and orthodox dont hv denominations. We both are the true, apostolic Christianity. Protestantism is a heresy. Only they have denominations , not us.
I'm from India, and studied in a catholic school, my idea of christianity was just normal, and even in a series I use to watch about Jesus and Christianity on tv didn't mentioned the denominations, later I realised there's alot of things in Christianity, I like how history of Christianity is, quite fascinating, much love❤
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!
Zero proof of the Jews before 950 BCE, but the Orthodox don't care about facts in the computer age. They crave creepy cults with ignorant freaks and invisible superheroes. Yuppers!!!
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.
Orthodoxy sometimes gets really misinterpreted but you covered it so well for such a short video! Congrats! Love from Romania. In an ever changing and agitated world, it’s good to have an island of stability and tradition. That is our orthodox church. We love and respect it.
@@rojeliosanchez5339 how can that be when the oldest Christian church in the world is orthodox? That is the syriac. Christianity in the Middle East (the birth place of Christ) is represented by the Orthodox Church. Please inform yourself because commenting nonsense.
One mistake I found in the video was that he said after Lazarus Saturday we break the fast we’ll we don’t at least in the Russian orthodox church we fast until Pascha and very strictly for that matter.
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.
Instead of being an Ethiopian orthodox you desided to be ...tewahido ...., even if it's rite it's dividend between Ethiopians. You guys are in the mood of division!
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.

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.
@@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.

Nice! In your prayer give it a try to just say: Jesus Christ if you are really the sun of God; Please help me in some way so I can really know that and believe in you... Give it a try
I was just baptized into the Orthodox church yesterday. As a catechumen, I was never taught to despise catholics. We pray for the reuniting of the Church. I know catholics and other protestants who are trying to follow Christ, and people who are technically eastern orthodox who don’t care about being close to God.
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..
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 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.

Great video. I went from Catholic to Protestant not long ago but find myself captivated by Orthodoxy. Still have a lot of respect for Catholicism but between the two Orthodoxy seems more Theologically correct.
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.
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.
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.
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.
People: *making the sign of the cross in a way to represent their side* Me: *completely forgets how it was done and does it one different way each time.*
Im an orthodox Christian and i love all my catholic brothers, There's no difference at all between ortho Christian and catholic as long as we believe in our christ our saviour and christianity... LONG LIVE CHRISTIANITY 🙌
It didn't start out that way. The early Christians were horribly persecuted. Sadly this continued even after 'legalizing' Christianity. Even by the church itself! Remember the inquisition? And, the church tried to wipe out the Knights Templar, breaking into their homes & slaughtering them in front of their wives & children! They chose Fri. 13th to do that, which is why that date is considered unlucky. I believe the Knights Templar found the buried treasure in Solomon's temple; and were growing too powerful for the church's liking.
unfortunately in the past they attack one another..protestant burnt catholics and catholics burnt protestant. It should be religion of peace. They should practice what they preach.
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.
I'm an Anglo-American from old colonial stock and a Protestant family background. I wasn't raised religiously and I have spent a good chunk of my life as a non-believer. I'm in the process of becoming an Orthodox Christian.
It's like this: When you get a physical education you can go to Mississippi State, Harvard or anyplace else. When you get a Spiritual education you can go to any Religion you choose.

As a Greek Orthodox, I want to really thank you for doing such a great research and for your factual descriptions, I really think you covered the most important parts of the two churches differences! Great work!❤
Correction: It's not "Arch Bishop of Moscow", it's the "Patriarch of Moscow". Also regarding Easter: while your explanation regarding Gregorian and Julian calendars are correct in the context of the New Calendar and Old Calendar (14 days difference), the Easter is being calculated based on the Moon calendar and Jewish Easter. Orthodox do take into account the Jewish Easter calendar, and the Orthodox Easter must happen after the Jewish Easter. The Catholic Easter doesn't take into account the Jewish Easter. So there are some years when Orthodox Easter overlaps with the Catholic Easter, so again this is nothing to do with the Gregorian or Julian Calendar. The Christmas, however, between Catholic and Orthodox is always 14 days apart because of the Gregorian (new) and Julian (old) Calendars. Also Orthodox receive the Holy Fire, Which happens on the Saturday of Orthodox Easter in Jerusalem.
Also, vampires have full sway on the darkest hours before dawn on All Saints' Day, but they will be blocked from entering a room if the host has been placed in the cracks of the doorway.
the difference between the Old Julian calendar and Gregorian is 13 days. Some orthodox churches have changed the Old Julian with the New Julian Calendar (in 1923). New Calendar is not Gregorian calendar but based on the Julian (see Milankovic).
For Christmas, the day for exchanging gifts for Catholics and protestants, as well, is December 25,. The Orthodox churches would exchange gifts on January 6 instead. Tradition has it that this was the day that the magi(wise men)arrived in Bethlehem.
@@aatevikThe date calculation for Pascha (Easter) was not changed in 1923. All Orthodox celebrate Pascha on the same date. Pascha needs to be calculated using the New Julian calendar, too or Easter will be celebrated in June soon enough. The bishops are doing the Faithful a disservice.
Funny, same thing for me but with Roman Catholicism. And after the first Nicene Creed the Church expressed four marks of the church. “One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic” then preceded to messed up up for years to come. I think it’s about time to disagree to agree to preserve Christendom! ✝️🙏
As a Catholic, within the first 4 minutes, I've caught some misconceptions about our church, please note that this vid probably shouldn't be taken too seriously. Otherwise, I love the infographics show, keep doing what you're doing.

Funny you should mention that. In the old days, Pepsi's owner realized he was losing out to Coke; and, asked them to buy him out. Coke said 'why should we do that? We're #1! Take a hike!' Years later, 70's or 80's I think, Pepsi hired a genius marketing manager to market Pepsi to the younger, hipper, crowd. Pepsi is now a close 2nd to Coke. Each around 50% of their market share! Oops! And, Coke is the most recognized brand on earth!
I'm Jewish. From my perspective, Orthodox Christianity appears to be the most familiar. This is probably due to the significant role ritual and tradition play in the everyday practice of both Judaism and Orthodoxy. I also view Orthodoxy as the oldest, "original" form of the faith, which undoubtedly grew out of my own. Love to all Christians, wherever and whoever they are ❤✝️✡️
As a Christian (Church of England, but thinking of converting to the Orthodox church) that's very interesting to read. I've got so much love and respect for Jewish people 😊 ✝️✡️
Catholic raised here... i always wondered what the deal was with orthodox christians, but never actually thought ti look into it... in 41 years!😮 So thanks for that, i actually learned something today!❤
So it’s also not as simple as he difference of belief in the nicene creed. The bigger issue at hand was that the pope thought he had dominion over all and the Eastern Orthodox Church held to the traditions as old as the apostles themselves.

I wish there was much more from the Roman Catholic perspective, as a unaware person this seems more catered and heavily biased towards Orthodox rather than explaining both sides neutrally
seemed like this was more of an explation of orthodoxy by contrasting it to catholicism. as most westerners are unfirmular with orthodoxy and thus will be the bulk of those clicking on the video.
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 orthodox and great lent isn’t a complete fast. We eat food just no meat ( and depending on how strict you follow the fast, no dairy). This also applies to Wednesday’s and Fridays.

As a Serb, you can't rely on any story from Balkans 100%. All countries on the Balkans have done some terrible things. It's just, many Croats and Serbs are rather willing to hate each other and put all the blame on the other rather than both admit their faults and reconcile, as we're painfully similar in linguistic alone, and should've been brothers, not enemies.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 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..

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".

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.

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.

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.

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

Great video. I went from Catholic to Protestant not long ago but find myself captivated by Orthodoxy. Still have a lot of respect for Catholicism but between the two Orthodoxy seems more Theologically correct.
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.

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.

LONG LIVE CHRISTIANITY 🙌
It didn't start out that way. The early Christians were horribly persecuted. Sadly this continued even after 'legalizing' Christianity. Even by the church itself! Remember the inquisition? And, the church tried to wipe out the Knights Templar, breaking into their homes & slaughtering them in front of their wives & children! They chose Fri. 13th to do that, which is why that date is considered unlucky. I believe the Knights Templar found the buried treasure in Solomon's temple; and were growing too powerful for the church's liking.

Correction: It's not "Arch Bishop of Moscow", it's the "Patriarch of Moscow". Also regarding Easter: while your explanation regarding Gregorian and Julian calendars are correct in the context of the New Calendar and Old Calendar (14 days difference), the Easter is being calculated based on the Moon calendar and Jewish Easter. Orthodox do take into account the Jewish Easter calendar, and the Orthodox Easter must happen after the Jewish Easter. The Catholic Easter doesn't take into account the Jewish Easter. So there are some years when Orthodox Easter overlaps with the Catholic Easter, so again this is nothing to do with the Gregorian or Julian Calendar. The Christmas, however, between Catholic and Orthodox is always 14 days apart because of the Gregorian (new) and Julian (old) Calendars. Also Orthodox receive the Holy Fire, Which happens on the Saturday of Orthodox Easter in Jerusalem.
This is incorrect There is a Metropolitan of Moscow. The Patriarch is the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia not just Moscow
Also, vampires have full sway on the darkest hours before dawn on All Saints' Day, but they will be blocked from entering a room if the host has been placed in the cracks of the doorway.
the difference between the Old Julian calendar and Gregorian is 13 days. Some orthodox churches have changed the Old Julian with the New Julian Calendar (in 1923). New Calendar is not Gregorian calendar but based on the Julian (see Milankovic).
For Christmas, the day for exchanging gifts for Catholics and protestants, as well, is December 25,. The Orthodox churches would exchange gifts on January 6 instead. Tradition has it that this was the day that the magi(wise men)arrived in Bethlehem.
@@aatevikThe date calculation for Pascha (Easter) was not changed in 1923. All Orthodox celebrate Pascha on the same date. Pascha needs to be calculated using the New Julian calendar, too or Easter will be celebrated in June soon enough. The bishops are doing the Faithful a disservice.
Ever since God has revealed the Orthodox side to me it has expanded my understanding about traditions of old that have been long forgotten

No pun intended on “dead serious on the resurrection “
Low blow
Egyptian orthodox... Well done,.most infor were actually accurate 👍
Well Egyptian orthodox aka coptic is an oriental orthodox church...I'm afraid he was talking about only the eastern orthodox church
Yes, Coptics also celebrate Christmas on a different day too!
I am Ethiopian oriental orthodox too
Seems like coptic and the eastern Orthodox share alot in common.. not Everytime was accurate to the coptic belief, true but It felt close.

I wish there was much more from the Roman Catholic perspective, as a unaware person this seems more catered and heavily biased towards Orthodox rather than explaining both sides neutrally
Yeah it really was. Kinda felt like the was harsher when he spoke on Catholicism
I just liked the idea he was trying to stop everyone from kissing that ring
As someone raised catholic and that still hold some beliefs, I agree. It didn't seem very neutral.
It maybe sounds like that, but its not its pretty much objective
seemed like this was more of an explation of orthodoxy by contrasting it to catholicism. as most westerners are unfirmular with orthodoxy and thus will be the bulk of those clicking on the video.
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 orthodox and great lent isn’t a complete fast. We eat food just no meat ( and depending on how strict you follow the fast, no dairy). This also applies to Wednesday’s and Fridays. During any fasting day 3 meals a day isn’t frowned upon at all unless you’re a monk. And 90%ish of priest are married and have kids…I would know, I’m one of them
no meat, but fish is excluded. also no dairy
And milk, cheese, yogurt ..etc !
yeah my priest has also like 4 children but i do feel bad for him because his son is some idiotic cringy youtuber. Edit: his son is called Baka Prase on TH-cam just look him up. You’d wish your parents never decided to marry and do the act.
If you are wondering the son is called Baka Prase he’s a Serbian youtuber and he’s pretty famous
sometimes I eat souvlaki till good friday, i fast till saturday night, and about 00:30 after resurection I stop the long fast I've been through.
This is very interesting, I’ve never really had the chance to learn much about the Easter Orthodox Church. As a Catholic living in the Bible Belt of America I’ve mainly only been around Protestants.
It’s fascinating. Especially the Middle Eastern one (where Christ was basically born) and which unfortunately is the most oppressed - because they live in highly Muslim areas, sometimes extremist Islamist
@@BlueSwampyCraft and what is the middle eastern one exactly? All the ancient Orthodox Patriarchates (Constantinople, Antioch, Jerusalem, Alexandria) exist in the middle east, and the Monophysite Copts, Armenians, Syriac etc Orientals exist there too😛
It must be hard being a Catholic in the Bible Belt. I can’t even imagine.
Attend the RCIA classer at your parish. Learn your faith.
I hope this blesses some... 🙏
I was 5 years of chronic illness! I was Semi Housebound, lost my health, job, finances and my fiance left me. I couldn't even look at electronic screen for 5 minutes, or hold a 10-minute conversation.
But God did an amazing work.
I now have a Christian Channel where I encourage people and show them what God did in my life and that there is hope for you also. ✝️🔥😊
*Keep believing even when it's hard* 🙏❤️🔥
*All things are possible with God*
God bless 🙏
I'm ready to give up, the only relief is to sleep. I feel like God turned his back on me. I'd rather be gone
Much respect from your neighbour 🇭🇺 🤝 🇷🇴
I'm Orthodox from Georgia, My faith is true and my country is defending the true faith! My country and my language keeps the word of God!
God bless our Georgian Orthodox brothers and sisters from a Sri Lankan Catholic..
Most folks frum Georgia are Southern Baptist's.

I think he means the country Georgia not the American state!
@@WangAiHua I knew that! just joking. We Americans are sort of self-centered, haven't you noticed?
I really like your flag, it's the most Orthodox of all! 🇬🇪😉👍
Greetings from a man who born and raised in Moscow, but loves Georgia! ❤️🖐️
My partner is from Croatia and he says these are the 2 main religious where he lives. Apparently, Croats are most frequently catholic and Serbs are most frequently orthodox. The 2 spent a long time hating each other resulting in war during the 90s. He's told me some heartbreaking stories, but he's gotta be the most fascinating and awesome man I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.
As a Serb, you can't rely on any story from Balkans 100%. All countries on the Balkans have done some terrible things. It's just, many Croats and Serbs are rather willing to hate each other and put all the blame on the other rather than both admit their faults and reconcile, as we're painfully similar in linguistic alone, and should've been brothers, not enemies.
It is mostly not about religon
I'm sure he has told you about Jasenovac conentracion camp, where even the German Nazis were disgusted by the atrocities committed by Croats.
Any other Syrian Orthodox Christian here? ✋
We are the oldest and purest form of Christinaity you can find
We speak syriac, a dialect of Aramaic, the very language Christ spoke and our liturgy and prayers are in syriac/aramaic

Thank you for this video!!! I have definitely learned something new today thank you!
This video incorrectly describes what infallibility is as it relates to the Pope.
The video makes many mistakes, and glosses over some things in an attempt to oversimplify.
Yeah he also says the Pope was the “head” which as an Orthodox, I would not accept. The only head of the Church is Jesus Christ.
Ya.. The infallibility as related to the pope was incorrectly describe.. Malaysian Catholic here..
As a long time follower and a follower of the Coptic Orthodox community, I hope you do well. I'll respond with any critiques after I watch the video.
The first thing you got wrong was the debate over semantics. Orthodox is the original teachings. If women are supposed to sit on the pews to the right, and men on the left, that's it. No discussion. You do it or leave.
As a Christian myself I wanna ask do you believe that there is 3 Gods (SON, FATHER AND THE HOLY GHOST) or you only believe that there is one true God
@@tonyclarke24 there is not a single Christian who believe there are 3 gods your questions isn’t even worth answering 🤦🏽♂️
