The Orthodox Church wasn’t nearly as affected by modernism as Catholicism was.
You can see it directly in church architecture. Compare Catholic Church interiors from the early 20th century and ones now. Now do the same comparison for Orthodox ones. It’s clear that the former desperately don’t want to be Catholic anymore.
- QuarterReptile 3y agoI was with you until the last sentence. The seminarians have shifted very far ideologically away from the cohort who moved the altars, ripped out communion rails, and stripped the ornamentation. That's pretty much consistent with the cohort of Catholics who attend mass weekly (a bare minimum requirement). Those rails, altars, and decorations are being renovated back into place in some places.
