J.B. Watson at Likelier Things writes about why he’s not Eastern Orthodox, and has chosen Catholicism instead (he was Evangelical). He doesn’t deny that the Orthodox churches are “real” churches — apostolically valid, he means, with valid Sacraments. But he says that he is a man of the West, and that means he owes his loyalty to the Western church, which formed his consciousness, and the consciousness of our civilization. I don’t agree with him, but it’s a perspective worth considering.
