Can I marry in a Roman Catholic church and a Greek Orthodox church?
Generally speaking, you can only be married in one, not both, otherwise you are getting married twice. Many people choose to marry in an Eastern Orthodox Church, and then perhaps have a blessing ceremony in a catholic church. The reason for this is because an Orthodox Wedding is accepted by all catholics, but a catholic wedding is not always accepted by all Orthodox bishops. An Orthodox wedding is accepted as valid by both. Answer2 A catholic wedding is not a valid wedding according to the Orthodox church (official position). Either you or your fiance have to be an Orthodox Christian to get married in an Orthodox church. Typically an Orthodox Priest will want both parties to come to pre-marital counseling and all the particulars of an Orthodox wedding and marriage will be discussed so that everyone is prepared. A famous example of this is when Grand Duchess Elizabeth who was at the time of her marriage Princess Elizabeth of Hesse Germany and a Lutheran married Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia. She later voluntarily converted to Orthodoxy (there is never any compulsion to convert).
When was the Orthodox Church invented.?
That's a bit difficult to explain. There was one church called 'The Catholic Orthodox church" it split into Orthodox and Catholic. However there are two Orthodox churches which both preserve the ancient teachings and traditions of the original church. Except have a different view of the divintiy of christ. The Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox church believes that christ has two natures but united while the Eastern Orthodox church believes that chirst has two natures but seperate. However,they both are the original church and have not changed the apostolic traditions. So the Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches are equally old since they were both founded by one of the apostles,however the Orthodox church stayed true to the original churches beliefs and traditions. But they became referred to as "Orthodox" in 451 AD (Eastern "Oriental' Orthodox) and in 1054 (Eastern Orthodox)
Is the Russian orthodox church like the American Catholic Church?
Yes, in that they both originated with the Catholic Church, went into schism, while retaining valid Orders and valid sacraments: to that extent they are alike, although the American Catholic Church, which is derived from the Old Catholic Church, a schismatic group that went into schism after the First Vatican Council, is not in communion with the Catholic Church nor the Orthodox Church. The American Catholic Church is in communion with the Anglican Church meaning, when all is said and done, they are yet another protestant church, while the Russian Orthodox remains Catholic to a degree.
Can Catholic marry an Orthodox in the Catholic Church?
Yes, it is his/her free choice to select the faith that me/she is convinced in. It is one of human rights to believe in the faith that he/she is convinced in..Catholic AnswerTechnically, the Orthodox religion is in schism with the Catholic Church, so, although this would not be apostasy (which is giving up the Christian faith altogether), it will still be giving up the fullness of the Christian faith in union with the Pope. However, there is no need to do this, when the Orthodox left the Church, each Rite broke in two, thus there is a Uniate Rite for each Orthodox Church. Thus the Greek Uniate Church is still in communion with Rome, and a person may obtain permission to change their Rite or they may just attend Mass at another Rite.
Why was there a schism between the Greek Orthodox Church?
The Orthodox Church and the Roman Church both have apostolic succession so they are equally old. Anyway at one stage they were one church called the Catholic Orthodox Church or The Universal Truth. The western church (Catholic) wanted to change the creed (a sum of the faith) and started declaring papal supremacy over the other churches - the Orthodox church views the St.Peter on the rock thing a Primacy of Honour not infallibility since Jesus did not make one apostle greater than the other. These were the main events that caused the 1054 schism and creating officially the Catholic and Orthodox Church. However seeing how the Catholic Church changed its teachings,liturgy among other things. The Orthodox Church did not change anything before or after the 1054 schism That is why the Catholic Church views the Orthodox Church as valid, but the Orthodox Church doesn't for the Catholic Church
Is the Pope head of all Catholic Churches or only Roman Catholic Churches?
The term "catholic" is claimed by both the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Roman Catholic Church includes all the Churches that accept the authority of the pope in Rome, including certain Eastern Churches. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not accept the authority of the pope in Rome. The pope is the spiritual leader of all Christians. However, the Protestants and Orthodox do not recognize that leadership.
When you get married in the Catholic church do you best man and maid of honor have to both be Catholics?
No. The bride and the groom don't even have to be Catholic as long as the agree to raise their children in the Catholic church. When my grandpa got remarried after his wife died, the woman he married was Lutheran and they were married in the Catholic church.
Mother is Catholic the father is Greek Orthodox and together were married in a Greek Orhodox Church is it possible for the child to be baptized in both the Greek Orthodox and the Catholic?
Yes, they can be both baptised but the religion that baptises the child last is the one that stands. Therefore, there really isn't any point in doing both baptism except to appease the grandparents. Just decide on the religion and baptise.
What religious group was formed from the schism of the Catholic Church?
The Great Schism, or East-West Schism, in the Catholic Church, produced the Eastern Orthodox Church, in the East, and the Roman Catholic Church, in the West. Both claimed to be continuations of the original Church. There is an article at the link below.
What is Eastern Orthodox Catholic?
You have your wording incorrect. There is Eastern Orthodox, and Eastern Catholic. Both are different Churches. Eastern Orthodox: The Eastern Orthodox Church was once one Church along with the Roman Catholic Church until the Great Schism in 1054. After 1054, they have been two separate Churches. The difference easiest to recognize is their view of the Bishop of Rome (the Pope). The Roman Catholic Church believes that the Bishop of Rome has the final say in defining doctrine whereas the Eastern Orthodox Church believes Church doctrine can only change when it has been decided in an Ecumenical Council such as the seven that were held before the churches split. Eastern Catholic: The Eastern Catholic Churches are former Eastern Orthodox Churches that have enter back into communion with the Holy See. They still practice using Eastern Rites, however. (Ex. Married men can be ordained Priests, the Nicene Creed is read without the Filioque clause, etc.) Hope I answered your question. ~God Bless
What two branches of Christianity were formed in 1054?
In 1054 Christ's which (except for small groups of heretics and the Oriental Orthodox) was generally undivided and truly one split into the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. The Orthodox would see the division this way: before 1054 there was just the Orthodox Church. After 1054 there was the Orthodox Church and the heretical church of the Patriarch of Rome, which would eventually call itself the Roman Catholic Church. The Romans would say that prior to 1054 there was just the Roman Catholic Church and then the Orthodox split off becoming a separate church. The way I, an Anglo Catholic, see it was that they both split from each other creating the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Neither church really existed as a separate denomination before. The denominational terms came into existence because of the tragic split.
What came first Orthodox Christians or Catholic Christians?
The Greek Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox Churches are now theologically the same but are separate because of the misunderstanding that happened in 451AD however both now see each others view on the nature of christ as truly ORTHODOX They both have apostolic succesion the Greek Orthodox founded by St.Andrew and the Coptic Orthodox founded by St.Mark.Both have presevered their native traditions and beliefs something that is sacred to all eastern churches
