The Roman Catholic Church has an understandable allure, as Mr Dreher points out: It retains many external rites that seem to point to its possession of a deep, venerable tradition that can impart stability to individuals, families, and whole societies. It is a deception.

We will dispense with the usual rationalistic arguments, however. For those who want a tête-à-tête
argument about the fundamental differences between the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, we would direct folks to the recent debate between Jay Dyer and Tim Gordon.

We want to focus instead mainly on the arts and the saints of the two confessions. Roman Catholicism claims to be the straight plumb line, the measuring rod, against which all other religions must be tested. But there is something disconcerting about, something disturbingly bent and distorted within, Roman Catholic faith and practice, and this manifests in the aforementioned arts and saints.
