They were received on Divine Mercy Sunday so as to separate them from true catechumens who are received only at the Easter Vigil. They were all former Protestants. Turns out their Orthodox priest was also a former Protestant and now is a Catholic priest with his own Latin Rite parish and a small Byzantine mission.Joeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573146478265596479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25740524.post-63135841805577922292019-04-11T14:50:33.059-04:002019-04-11T14:50:33.059-04:00How do they convince themselves that we "say ...How do they convince themselves that we "say the same Creed" or "believe the same thing", given the whole filioque issue? It's not even mentioned. That's what is most troubling. Either words have meaning that is mutually understood and accepted (enabling commonly held belief), or they don't (in which case, how can communion be possible?) <br /><br />I know a reply might be along the lines of "you can profess the Creed either with or without the filioque, and it's ok", but that is JUST from the RC POV. No Orthodox I know of says this. And the RCs and converts from Orthodoxy to the RC Church must be aware of it. I guess they just choose to minimize the Orthodox beef regarding the filioque.
