PURPOSE: This chart is meant to provide a brief overview for Orthodox Christians of what are, in my opinion,contrasts between Roman Catholicism and Orthodox Christianity. It is not meant to be comprehensive. As such,some issues may be oversimplified. 

QUALIFICATION: In presenting the Orthodox Christian positions I have purposely presented the positions assingular. In reality there exists within the history of Orthodoxy differing views, some which have been significantly influenced by Western Roman Catholic scholastic theology, culture and practice. My presentation ignores those influences and focuses on what I consider mainstream teachings and practices most clearly in continuity with the Apostolic/Patristic Church.
