[edit] Orthodox Catholic Church

The Orthodox Catholic Church is one of three major worldwide Christian groupings (the other two being Roman Catholic and Protestant). The Orthodox Catholic Church, the official name of what is otherwise known as the Orthodox Church (also known as the Eastern Orthodox Church), is a body of believers united by Faith and Sacrament. It is comprised of those Church in communion with the Orthodox Churches of Constantinople, Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem, together with all other Patriarchates and Primatial Churches within Orthodoxy.

You know, if the Roman Catholic Church can totally hijack the "Catholic Church" Wiki article, I don't see why the Eastern Orthodox Church which is formally known as the Orthodox Catholic Church, being the 2nd biggest Christian denomination, shouldn't lay claim to the Orthodox Catholic Church article. The article as it is, or rather was, is a lot of stuff about very obscure wacky churches, instead of the 2nd largest Chrisitan group in the world. If this info wants a home, there should be a disambiguation page, like Orthodoxy has to put up with on the Catholic Church article.— 203.32.87.174 14:20, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree. I was taught in grade school that the Eastern Orthodox Church does not consider itself "Eastern" and calls it self the Orthodox Catholic Church. apart from this article, I have no evidence that was wrong. This URL should be a redirect to Eastern Orthodox Church. This article should be trashed, or fixed up and renamed, or fixed up and stuffed into some other article. — Randall Bart ^(talk) 20:15, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
