#12776 Is Catholicism a False Church if Eastern Bishops Left? Salvation and Liturgy - William Albrecht
1 seconds Posted Jun 25, 2026 at 12:00 am.
– Considering Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. If the majority of bishops left the RCC, is that a sign they are a false church? Also, if Catholics changed liturgy/fasting rules while EO have been consistent, is that a sign they are a false church?
– How to Respond to the claim. Did first-century Christians pray to the saints? My protestant friend says it started in the third century.
– What do Catholics believe they have to do to be saved, and how do I respond to the once saved always saved belief? What are simple verses to refute that?
– Agnostic Brother Asked thinks Christianity is too Anthropocentric. He has a hard time believing that the universe was made for human beings primarily.
– Best Friend and brother want to convert to EO because of the filioque. How can I respond?
