I’m sure the Catholics would disagree with me, and that’s fine with me. But personally I would say the Orthodox are the oldest continuous movement of Christianity. Not only do they historically beat out the Romans by a few decades, but also they have maintained a far more consistent liturgy over the millennia. The Catholics have had a a good handful of major liturgical changes that I would say constitute a few major breaks in historical consistency.
Orthodox is Slackware because it’s the oldest Christian denomination and changes very slowly.
Wait… Orthodox is the oldest? The Catholic rhetoric is that they are the oldest denomination. I feel bamboozled!

That’s not a criticism from me. I’m Anglican.
