Lines East ( back in the USSR!) does not, with some rare ( Uniate) churches as the exception, recognize the primacy of the Pope. language of worship is Russian or some other Slavic tongue- the Romanians use Romanian, but are ( Ortho) through and through. Many colorful and theatrical-like ceremonies- Three times around the horn at weddings, for example ( no it is not a sobriety test! They have panoramic stages long before Hollywood and Radio City thought of them, with a circular walkway around the main part of the church itself- used in weddings and probably other ceremonial actions.There are some other differences, whether the Holy Spirit is diffused though the Father and the Son, or is a separarte entity ( odd to me), and the use of Icons or religious pictures as devotional items- flat- not statuary. there are other Ortho angles as well. the entire Romanov family have been canonized in the Russian Orthodox church so it is okay to pray to Anastasia- enough of a sales pitch!

Since you are confirmed Orthodox and married a Greek Orthodox, the Orthodox Church requires that any children you may have should be baptized Orthodox. Also, as an Orthodox, you are not allowed to baptize your nephew or any other person in a catholic church. From the Catholic point of view, unless your nephew is to be reared a Catholic, he may not be baptized in the Catholic Church. If he is to be reared Catholic, either by his parents or godparents, the Church will receive him. No you are GREEK orthodox u must not I reapeat not baptisma your child at a catholic church.

Are orthodox parishioners Catholic?
They depends on whether you meant to capitalize Orthodox or not. The Orthodox Church is not Catholic, they split from the Catholic Church officially in the 12th century. If you orthodox as believing in the Church doctrines, then that is the only kind of parishioner that is a real Catholic. Anyone who is not orthodox in his belief, is by definition, heterodox, otherwise known as a protestant, even if they still maintain nominal membership in the Catholic Church.
