Eastern Orthodoxy in other countries
editYou must say that "It is one of the dominant religions in Albania and Bosnia-Herzegovina and there is a significant historical minority in Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine". All this information must be in the paragraph where all the orthodox-majority countries are listed. 188.172.111.72 (talk) 21:44, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Not done. Please indicate sourcing that supports this. ~ Pbritti (talk) 21:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Church or Churches
editThey are not even in full communion anymore after the 2018 Moscow–Constantinople schism. And they have always been distinguished from each other along ethnic lines for hundred years. The title is misleading. I propose to change it to “Eastern Orthodox Churches”. We already got Oriental Orthodox Churches, so why does Eastern Orthodoxy got treated differently!? 75.157.108.212 (talk) 07:28, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Second largest
editIt is not the second largest it is the third largest even by the page given on second largest it shows a clear diagram of percentages with orthodox being way smaller than both protestant and catholic church Onlyloss6973 (talk) 06:46, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Protestantism comprises hundreds of smaller denominations rather than a single massive "Protestant Church". ~ Pbritti (talk) 06:55, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Orthodox church has smaller denominations like Coptics Oriental and others so your argument is false. All those protestant denominations are protestant they are part of a singular denomination called Protestanism Onlyloss6973 (talk) 07:02, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- The Eastern Orthodox Church is separate from the Oriental Orthodox Churches, which includes the Coptic Orthodox Church. Those are different groups that you're conflating. You are a bit confused here. ~ Pbritti (talk) 07:20, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- But in the chart they are part of the same Orthodox branch i.e Orthodox it even mentions in the diagram which you can clearly see after entering the page in "the section second largest denomination" Onlyloss6973 (talk) 10:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Onlyloss6973: They might be part of the "Orthodox" branch, but they are not part of the Eastern Orthodox Church. This page is about the Eastern Orthodox Church. Eastern Orthodox Church comprises several churches that are in full communion with each other. Protestants are not in full communion with each other. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
- Then the link given is very wrong and misleading Onlyloss6973 (talk) 13:08, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

Good explanation above by Vanjagenije, fully second that. The Eastern Orthodox Church is one church (and Oriental Orthodox are not part of it), which is the second largest church after the Catholic communion. Jeppiz (talk) 11:17, 7 August 2024 (UTC)
