    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!

        Orthodox

        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.

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