Some Eastern Orthodox use (for all dialogue, they do celebrate mass) a language that's now only referred to as Church Slavonic. [1] Though going down this tangent I can't help but think of that Emo Phillips skit on religion: [VIDEO] [1] - [LINK]

I was never taught anything like this and am "Catholic" rather than "Episcopalian" the same way a Baptist isn't "Episcopalian". [VIDEO]

> I'm not sure what they're going to do when there aren't any groups left to "other." Sadly, this will never happen. We've been at this for tens of thousands of years, and we always find "others." [VIDEO]
