ST|I have written you earlier about my search for an identitiy and whether or
|not it will be found in returning to the Roman Catholic Church. In the
|process of this quest, I have stumbled upon the Eastern Orthodox Church.
|Atlhough I know them by name, I have no idea of their beliefs. How do
|they differ from the Roman Church, beside the Nicene Creed controversy. I
|am curious about this question as I continue to search for God's will for
|my life.

Dear Stephen,
In a sense, I am passing the buck here, but I don't want to offend
Orthodox readers by discussing their beliefs and comparing them with ours.
I might get something wrong, so please ask me questions about Catholicism.
As you are a seminary student, you undoubtedly have access to a
college library with theological reference books. I refer you to
those for a study of Orthodoxy.
Sincerely in Christ,
Father Mateo
