To this day the Eastern Orthodox can't present a definitive answer to the issue of contraception, they simply don't know what to do.They also allow divorce and remarriage, something Jesus himself condemned in the Bible. They came up with the wonderful idea of allowing divorce "only three times"... what is even that?They can't agree on whether former Catholics need to be baptized again if they convert to Eastern Orthodoxy. Or even fellow eastern orthodox (with the ROCOR, Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia being most strict about this).Also, I do not like that the EO act like they're a solid block. Hard from it, they are a collection of national churches always disagreeing with one another, which is more accentuated now with the recent separation of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. There are many things they have no idea how to handle because they lack a definitive authority that has the capacity to decide for all of them.Jesus said "I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it. " not "You are Peter the pebble, you are just a figurehead with no real power. But sometimes you can attempt to call a meeting that always fails because your flock is full of bickering nationalists."
The Ost-Orthodox are indeed a collection of incompetent competing communions... which is also what the Nicene-Chalcedonian Church was like, albeit with more theological differences rather than ethnopolitical.
>>17438287Literally every single infographic on 4chan that I've ever looked into has been wrong. Like this one claims 5389 sexual abuse cases from Jewish rabbis in Brooklyn and cites wikipedia, but the wikipedia article says that since 2009, there were 5389 cases of (unspecified) sexual abuse in the district overall and roughly 100 of them came from the haredi community (not even specifying rabbis). Furthermore, the population numbers used in the per capita calculations refer to the number of Jews and Catholics respectively, not to the number of priests and rabbis.
