  ORTHODOXY AND ROMAN CATHOLICISM
Orthodoxy teaches that every bishop, "the living icon of Christ," and his flock constitute the Church in a certain place; or, as St. Ignatius the God-bearer says, the Church of Christ is in the bishop, his priests and deacons, with the people, surrounding the Eucharist in the true faith.
Orthodoxy teaches the same, but the idea of an "original sin" or "inherited guilt" (from Adam) has no part in her thinking.
In Orthodoxy, Holy Matrimony is not a contract; it is the mysterious or mystical union of a man and woman - in imitation of Christ and the Church - in the presence of "the whole People of God" through her bishop or his presbyter.

 Eastern Orthodox Church, Orthodox Catholic, Greek Orthodox   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The Orthodox Tradition is the theological tradition, generally associated with the national churches of the eastern Mediterranean and eastern Europe and principally with the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, whose distinguishing characteristic consists in preservation of the integrity of the doctrines taught by the fathers of the seven ecumenical councils of the fourth through eighth centuries.
For Orthodoxy, the artistic image reiterated the truth that the invisible God had become visible in the incarnate Son of God who was the perfect image of God; the image channeled the presence of the person depicted to the one contemplating it, as the incarnate Word had brought God to man.
Orthodoxy's use of leavened bread in the Eucharist, instead of the unleavened wafers of the West, was mostly a liturgical matter, although it was given theological meaning by the explanation that the leaven signified evangelical joy in contrast to the "Mosaic" regime of Catholic practice.

 Economy (Eastern Orthodoxy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, economy is a bishop's discretionary power to dispense with church standards (or "canons", as they are called) that a parish priest would otherwise be required to follow.
Often it amounts to retroactive recognition granted to sacraments performed in heterodox churches when a person converts to Orthodoxy, or in Orthodox jurisdictions with which the Bishop's jurisdiction is not in full communion.
Such dispensations are made with a view towards putting the spirit before the letter and helping the cause of the salvation of souls.

 Eastern Orthodoxy
Eastern Orthodox churches are identified with the East through a series of historical accidents, involving the gradual estrangement between Rome (and Western Christendom) and the other ancient patriarchates.
Orthodoxy also implies a strong attachment to the sacraments,* the most important being the sacraments of initiation: baptism* (by immersion), chrismation* and the eucharist* (communion in both kinds), to which the newly baptized member is immediately admitted, whatever his or her age.
Orthodoxy, however, does include a certain anti-ecumenical strain which is largely due to a suspicion on the part of some that ecumenical dialogue necessarily implies a betrayal of the purity of the Orthodox faith.

 Akribia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with Economy (Eastern Orthodoxy).
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, akribia is strict adherence to the letter of the law of the church, as distinguished from economy, which is discretionary deviation from the letter of the law in order to adhere to the spirit of the law.
Only bishops have such discretion, which may be used on the occasion of a conversion to Orthodoxy, in order to grant recognition to a baptism previously administered in a heterodox or schismatic church.

Thus, "to an extent matched by no other Christian communion, Orthodoxy claims that it alone has maintained an unbroken continuity with the apostolic faith of the New Testament, that it alone is the true visible church, and that salvation outside of the Orthodox church is a questionable assumption" (Clendenin, 30).

Historically, Eastern Orthodoxy has conceived of ecclesiality, of eklesia itself, as being to some degree a function of ethnicity and nationhood.

ORTHODOXY BY GILBERT K. This book is meant to be a companion to "Heretics," and to put the positive side in addition to the negative.
When the word "orthodoxy" is used here it means the Apostles' Creed, as understood by everybody calling himself Christian until a very short time ago and the general historic conduct of those who held such a creed.
The eternity of the material fatalists, the eternity of the eastern pessimists, the eternity of the supercilious theosophists and higher scientists of to-day is, indeed, very well presented by a serpent eating his tail, a degraded animal who destroys even himself.

 FRB: Federal Reserve Board Speech from 4/02/98
Market economies have succeeded over the centuries by thoroughly weeding out the inefficient and poorly equipped, and by granting rewards to those who could anticipate consumer demand and meet it with minimum use of labor and capital resources.
In economies not broadly subject to international trade, competition was not as punishing to the less efficient as it is today.
International competitive pressures are narrowing the choices for economies with broad safety nets: the choice of accepting shortfalls in standards of living, relative to the less burdened economies, or loosening the social safety net and acquiescing in the greater concentrations of income that seem to be associated with our high-tech environment.

Eastern theologians claim that all or most Western ecclesiological fallacies arise from the supposedly heretical notion of the filioque--that is, Westerners fail to give a proper role to the pneumatological foundation of the Church, because they so give such an overweening primacy to the Son that the role of the Spirit is crushed.
Yet the Church clearly belongs to the theology of the economy, of the economy of salvation, not of the immanent Godhead.

The Roman Catholic Church holds that a bishop's consecration is valid if the sacrament of Holy Orders is validly done and the consecrating bishop's orders are valid, regardless of whether this takes place within or outside of the Catholic Church.
Thus, Catholics recognize the validity of the episcopacy of Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox bishops.
The Eastern Orthodox Church holds that a bishop's consecration is less than fully valid if it is not within the "One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church", i.e., one of the canonical Eastern Orthodox churches.

 St Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary - Fr John Behr - Orthodoxy
Whilst individual theologians have speculated about other aspects concerning the Virgin herself, and her glorification, items not directly pertaining to the Gospel of Christ's work of salvation, such as the Assumption and the Immaculate conception, have never been held to have the status of dogma in the Orthodox Church.
One other aspect pertaining to the early Church must be noted -- for it indicates a significant difference between Eastern and Western understandings of the Church -- and this is the establishment and role of the episcopacy.
And I hope that I have also managed to convey how it is that the Orthodox Church sees herself being founded totally upon the Gospel, and some of the decisive historical events and controversies that have been shaped by the attempt to understand and apply this Gospel.
