Not much would change in my opinion. The liturgies among the Orthodox churches would change only slightly, in order to make reference to sister churches. The Catholics would have to change a bit of their doctrine and their mass to conform to ours, h…

The candidate for the Republicans is not Giuliani, but rather Ron Paul if you keep up with the straw polls. Clinton is the shoo in for the Democratic nomination due to her name recognition and racial tensions. I say this not to be racist but the rea…
