St. Gregory of Nyssa Greek Orthodox Church
I am an Orthodox Christian, too, but I found Father Simeon's remarks to be so typically dismissive of the entire Western Church. Very predictable-"oh, the West is legalistic, we are therapeutic", etc. Ridiculous-I was Roman Catholic and when I went to confession, the priest was interested in my spiritual healing. The approach may be different, but Father Simeon is the very substance of the stance on sin is the different, and he is mistaken. Father Simeon never went to a Catholic school or a seminary-he went straight from being Protestant to being Orthodox. He should be careful about throwing an entire faith tradition out the window, as I feel he did with Roman Catholicism. One of the things about Orthodoxy that bothers me is this "East good; West bad" mentality that is all to pervasive, especially among convert clergy.— June 28, 2010 5:39 p.m.
