I am a cradle Greek Orthodox in the north east. Please know that many, if not most, marriages in the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese are between Greek Orthodox and Roman Catholics. The Roman Catholics generally convert. Therefore, I might assume that most of our converts are through marriage.

I would think, as a compassionate person, one would then acknowledge the desire that our former Roman Catholic brethren have to celebrate holidays with their precious families.

The Greek Orthodox have generally had a pretty good relationship with the Roman Catholics in this country and do not usually harbor anomosity towards our estranged and seperated brethren in Christ Jesus. The only one that truly delights in anomosity and anger between conservative and apostolic Christians is the evil one. I very much doubt that our Lord, who is pure love, could possibly be happy to see his children feel like this for one another.

Agape,
Alice
