Anyone here at least heard of Eastern Orthodoxy? If so, I'd like to know, what is your first impression of this particular Christian Faith?

I guess I haven't delved into it to far. My first impression would be that it is another branch of the Catholic church. One that broke off for some reason and now follows a strict set of rules.

You can go on line to see what they are about. They rejected the Pope's authority, and believe that statues break the second commandment but painted images don't.
They are very ornate and generally have a high mass, that is they have much structure, robes and ritual. art |
