@KingOfWhiteAmerica Hey, I see you're Orthodox. Does that mean Eastern Orthodoxy? I have some questions you may have the answer to, either way. Are they futurist / dispensationalists? If I had a different eschatological perspective than what the church teaches, I would not really be accepted, right? I heard that they even somewhat distanced themselves from Eastern Orthodox people who use different calendars.

Clicking on a series of things leading to finally click on
Unofficial Home Page of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church
Used to lead to this chart plus a written description of each denomination
I could no longer find it in the more recent website version & it is very difficult to find in the archived version because it is accessed through a series of menus but the link does not change to be different than the homepage in the end
@RoninGrey @KingOfWhiteAmerica
So basically there were what were called Ecumenical councils in which assigned people voted on what is true
When one group disagreed with how another group voted sometimes there was a Church Split
Each group has a list of councils and if you do not agree with the councils historic decisions you might be considered not a part of the Church
But many people simply do not know all the council decisions to be able to say they disagree & still call themself a member
@RoninGrey @KingOfWhiteAmerica
The Denomination under Pope Francis did not exist until 1870 or later approximately
Before then people were free to believe the Pope was not infallible
After Vatican 1 there was a new decision that the Pope is infallible
New Catholics believe the Pope is not an antipope and the pope is infallible
Old Catholics believe the Pope is not infallible and or the Pope is an antipope
@RoninGrey @KingOfWhiteAmerica
Church of the East, Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox and Old Catholics never claimed the Pope was infallible
Many or all of them claimed the ecumenical council process of group voting was infallible but the Pope as a sole individual was not infallible
If you want to know what a specific group believes you have to examine their council votes they list as binding and read the texts in regards to the groups I mentioned
