Give Me A Reason Why Catholicism Is Preferable To Orthodoxy...

...annnnnd GO!

[Groo the Wanderer]

Union with the Pope, the universal head of the Church, the vicar of Christ.

That's it. They have valid Sacraments (Mysteries), a valid priesthood, and Apostolic Succession as well. They have a lot to re-teach us too about reverence and awe, methinks. Pray for healing of the schism. The Church needs to breathe with both lungs, especially in the days to come...

The same reason some find Orthodoxy preferable to Catholicism: the Pope.

Well if the Pope were a Steelers fan Orthodoxy would certainly be preferable.
