| | There are some Roman Catholic dioceses in which it is still a problem, but most dioceses are orthodox and have good bishops who are working to ensure that their priests are morally fit for their calling. | | | Persons who become Roman Catholic from other denominations do NOT need to be rebaptized as long as it was done in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. | | | The special liturgy was subsequently approved by the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Committee for the Liturgy of the National Conference of Catholic Bishops. |

| | Therefore, the Catholic Church teaches that even persons who have never heard of Christ may be worthy of Heaven if they live a benign lifestyle that generally adheres to the precepts of Christianity. | | | Some so-called 'Catholics' claim that the only teachings of the Church that its members are bound to follow are those that have solemnly been declared to be infallible. | | | On one hand, they claim that there is a 'diversity of opinion' within the Catholic Church on abortion, and boast that there are wide cracks in the moral positions of the 'monolithic, hierarchical church.' They say that many or most Catholics would not 'impose their morality' on others. |

| | The Holy Synod of Milan is a canonically established Metropolia that maintains the Holy Orthodox Faith and Praxis with a Traditionalist understanding. | | | Even where many people identify themselves with some sort of Catholic understanding of life, the various legacies of Protestantism have over time become so commonplace that they are basically taken for granted when an individual begins to examine the need to explore the root teachings and emphases of apostolic Christianity. | | | In the midst of this strange cacophony of theologies, we introduce the word "Orthodox" not as it is commonly understood, but in a way that sets us apart from the latter derivatives of Roman Catholic and Protestant thinking. |
