Are the Orthodox churches most related to Catholics or Protestants?

∙ 12y ago
Orthodox churches are much closer in belief to Catholics than to Protestants. The Eastern Orthodox Church broke off of the Catholic Church in 1054 A.D. and kept basically all the same beliefs except the supremacy of the pope. Protestants, however, broke during the Protestant Reformation, which can be considered to start around 1517. The Protestant split involved much deeper doctrinal changes that make Protestantism farther from Catholicism than Eastern Orthodoxy.

Is Easter celebrated in Australia?
The complicated dating for Easter was set in 325 at the Council of Nicaea, which scheduled the festival to be celebrated on the first Sunday following the full moon occurring next after the vernal equinox (about March 21); however, if the full moon occurs on a Sunday, Easter will be celebrated the following Sunday. Hence, the date of Easter can fluctuate between March 22 and April 25. Because the Western churches (Catholic and Protestant) now follow the Gregorian calendar, the Eastern churches, which follow the unrevised Julian calendar, celebrate Easter (and other Church holidays) on different dates. In the Orthodox Churches, Easter marks the beginning of the ecclesiastical year. As related above, Australian Protestants and Roman Catholics clebrate Easter on the same date as their European and American counterparts, while the many Orthodox Christians celebrate with their European counterparts.
Do Catholics sing protestant hymns?
Yes. There is really no difference between Catholic hymns & Protestant hymns. Both Protestants and Catholics are Christians. Catholics have some extra ones that have to do with the Eucharist, Mary, & other Catholic beliefs, but Catholics and Protestants share the majority of hymns. For example, did you know that the popular song "Your Grace is Enough" was originally written by a Catholic? Chris Tomlin, the artist most people think wrote the song, borrowed and adapted parts of the melody of it from Catholic singer Matt Maher. Catholic and Protestant artists and composers borrow songs from each other and share them with the general public both in CD form and in hymnals for church.

There are churches independent of these churches like the Greek Orthodox Church, Coptic church, Syrian Orthodox Church etc., All these churches are supposed to go by the Scripture.
