> why not just become catholic? follow the examples of ignatius of moscow and cyril vi of antioch and become catholic. quite simply, because you lost apostolic succession when you apostasized. orthodox christianity does not hinge on the 3 people you mentioned and it doesn't change the fact that you're flat out wrong. the ecumenical council decreed that the nicene creed could not be changed without the approval of an ecumenical council, which it later was. the western churches changed the creed not for theological reasons but for political reasons.  also i haven't read anything on the justifications for the papacy but the validity of that went out the window when one of your popes brought whores into the vatican and one allegedly fucked a horse. so nah dog, you're fucking wrong.  also your current pope is a fountain of heresies, especially that last one about all religions leading to god. i don't know how catholics haven't physically torn his vestments off and thrown him in the street, much less defend him.
