Why are orthodox christians so anti-Pope?

[Bereta_Eder]

BTW I have to say that I find the notion of a "direct - without the middleman- connection to God" that the protestants have most intriguing.

i hate the TV evangelists and the fundies

but a lot of the principles of protestantism appeal to me (sorry patriarch)

I'm older now!

It's been at least 2 minutes.

So GIVE!

Little tease, you.

[Dr Strangelove]

Try Anglicanism / Episcopalianism. It's like everything the Catholic church would be if it stopped resisting the inevitable.

(nothign crazy GP just crashing at a friend's empty house - who has absolutely no liquor in her appartment - weird huh? )

anglicanism? just the name gives me the goose bumps

episcopalianism.. now that sounds cool, it has a greek name too (but then again so is the word: anglos"

but it is like this no?

that you can confess to god immidieatly and stuff?

[TCO]

I thought it would be a her!!

So she is sleeping after a tiring session of loving...and you are playing on her computer!

[TCO]

She must have some wine, gin, beer, cooking sherry...something! Even the Turkish beauties drink.

[Bereta_Eder]

she has nothing... i dont know why... her family also had no liquor in the house and she follows their example...

(not a history of alcoolism or anything though as far as I know)

[TCO]

you've had enough tonight anyway. Go snuggle up with her...

[Bereta_Eder]

as i said, long story GP

[TCO]

Where are you?

I get the impression you are trapped in some alien dimension. cut off from all humanity (and all alcohol) and have only Poly as a life-line.

[Bereta_Eder]

you are closer to the truth than you think GP

l o n g

I find that boring. Where is the fun in confession if the priest isnt yelling at you?

btw., I havent confessed in quite a while. And I have slight disagreements with the church what is considered sin
