| | An Overview of Eastern Orthodoxy |
| | Eastern Orthodox thought understands the elements of communion to be actual types of Christ's glorified humanity, which in some mystical way, comes to the believer as he or she partakes of the bread and wine. | | | Eastern Orthodox theologians deny that any deity is ascribed to the icons and justify their inclusion in worship largely on the basis of Christ's incarnation. | | | Eastern Orthodoxy's assertion that humanity's ultimate goal is theosis, or participation in the Divine life, has informed and shaped their doctrine of the Fall. |

| | Unlike the Roman Catholic Church, which regards the Holy Spirit as proceeding from the Father and the Son, the Eastern Orthodox Church claims that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father through the Son. | | | The Eastern Orthodox Church emerged as a result of disagreements between Greek speaking eastern churches and Latin speaking western churches over doctrine and ecclesiastical authority. | | | The Ottomans placed the eastern churches under the jurisdiction of the patriarch of Constantinople. |

| | Orthodoxy and heterodox confessions, expecially in the sphere of spiritual experience, the understanding of God and salvation, there exists an ontological difference which cannot be simply ascribed to cultural and intellectual enstrangement of the East and West but is a direct consequence of a gradual abandonment of the sacred tradition by heterodox Christians. | | | In the wider theological sense "Orthodoxy is not merely a type of purely earthly organization which is headed by patriarchs, bishops and priests who hold the ministry in the Church which officially is called "Orthodox."

| | Eastern Orthodoxy |
| | Eastern Orthodoxy teaches that the fundamental source of tradition is the Scriptures as understood by with the "divinely inspired Fathers of the Church." Their authority cannot be superseded, altered or ignored. | | | Eastern Orthodoxy, denying the doctrine of original sin, sees Christ’s death as payment on the ransom held over men by death. | | | Valuing inner revelation over reasoning, Eastern Orthodoxy claims that God is unknowable by logic, but only as a mystery revealed in the hearts of men. |

| | EASTERN ORTHODOXY |
| | Orthodoxy practices the mass or the "Holy Eucharist" [eucharist means praise] whereby Christ supposedly is sacrificed anew and the bread and wine of the "eucharist" becomes the actual body and blood of Christ. | | | The Roman Catholic Church and its twin, Eastern Orthodoxy, were formed by a spiritually adulterous relationship between the political empire and apostate church leaders. | | | Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy both claim direct descent from Christ and the Apostles, but that this claim is bogus is evident in their non-apostolic doctrines and practices. |

| | Her ikons are worshiped everywhere, and the majority of Orthodox prayers and hymns are addressed to Mary under a variety of titles and with a profusion of feast days that has no counterpart in the rest of the Christian world. | | | The dominant principle in Orthodoxy is that Church authority is diffused among its members, and not as in the West, isolated in a definite source. | | | Although the Eastern Orthodox generally admit that the Church is a visible institution, they say that Christ alone is the head, since a visible head would be irreconcilable with the doctrine of the Mystical Body. |

| | Worship in Eastern Orthodoxy is heavily sacerdotal and mystical. | | | The faithful also practice a mystical spiritual discipline known as hesychasm, in which tranquility and spiritual light are sought by quietism and strict control of the body, measuring the phrasing of one's silent praying by the rythm of one's breathing, in order to unite soul and body in prayer. | | | Today's Orthodox Churches are situated predominantly in Eastern Europe, but Orthodoxy is a fast-growing movement even in the West. |

| | Culturally, the term is usually associated with a tradition that traces its origins to ancient Indian and East Asian thought and religions like Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Jainism and Taoism. | | | Most modern uses of the term refer to Eastern philosophy, the Eastern world, Eastern history or ancient Asian culture, typically also including those countries whose ethnic identity and their dominant culture derive from ancient Asian culture. | | | Eastern culture is sometimes contrasted with Western Culture which is accused of being likely to engage in false dichotomies. |
