I wanted to ask: If the catholic church is becoming more worldly, why stay Catholic? Why should I not convert to orthodoxy, since they don't change things up and have still many otherworldly Saints like Saint Paisios and Fr. Seraphim Rose (soon to be saint) which are just different to those in our church?
I remain Catholic because it is the Church founded by Christ upon the Rock of Peter, who alone has the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Just because the majority of Catholics, both clerical and lay, are abandoning the Barque of Peter does not justify us following their lead. Do not equate the infidelity of the majority as being reflective of the nature and foundation of the Church. All save a handful abandoned Christ at the Crucifixion.
Perhaps St. John should have followed the other's lead and abandoned Christ on the Cross because Christ no longer appeared to be who he claimed to be.
The Eastern Orthodox Churches were Catholic and subject to Rome up until 1054, when Patriarch Michael Cerularius broke with Rome. They returned to the True Faith briefly at the Council of Lyons II (1274) and again at the Council of Ferrara-Florence (1439). The only reason they're in schism now is because the Ottoman Turks took Constantinople in 1453.
At the fall of Constantiniople, Sultan Mehmet the II immediately set about replacing the Catholic Patriarch (who was in Rome at the time) with the most anti-Catholic man he could find, Genadius Scholarius. They have been separated from the True Church ever since.
This unbaptized Turkish Sultan chose the Patriarch, and in a grand public display, handed Genadius Scholarius the symbols of his office. Scholarius promptly broke from union with Rome, dragging the other patriarchates with him. This was formalized a few years later in a synod at Constantinople.
It's worth noting that the last Byzantine Emperor Constantine XI Palaiologos, died as a Catholic. The night before the fall of Constantinople, there was a great celebration where he celebrated the reunion of the east with Rome (at the Council of Ferrara-Florence). The next day, he died a glorious death, sword in hand, and subject to the Roman Pontiff.
