The Truth: What Every Roman Catholic Should Know About the Orthodox Church (Faith Catechism)

Rating:
Summary: Well written historical revisionism
Review: But, then again, isn't that true of anything that the Orthodox write about Catholicism?

The Orthodox Church was formed in the midst of the politics of late antiquity when the Greeks failed to recognize the position of the Bishop of Rome as Pope of the entire church. Period.

One interested in the truth of the matter is better served by reading Stephen Ray's "Upon this Rock"

Rating:
Summary: Very good
Review: Shows the differences between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches. After reading this book, you will know why these differences are so vast that the churches cannot unite. Essential reading for Catholics and Orthodox laity and clergy.

Summary: How Orthodoxy is Different From Catholicism
Review: This book goes beyond the basic issues that separate Orthodoxy and Catholicism and goes to the heart of the matter: how the mindset of the Orthodox Church differs from the Roman Catholic Church. The differneces between the two aren't just a matter of a few dogmas but of different ways of how they understand tradition, how they approach God and how they understand Christianity in general. Good basic information.
