Cătălin asked Gregory B. Sadler:

What are your thoughts on the Eastern Orthodox Church ? Have you ever considered, in light of history, its claims of being the true Church of Christ side by side with those same claims made by the Latins ?

Gregory B. Sadler I consider all of the apostolic churches to be the true church. That includes the Catholic Church (which of course, includes more than the "Latins"), the Eastern Orthodox Churches, and all of the Oriental Orthodox Churches (Coptic, Syriac, Ethiopian, Armenian, etc.) I consider, for example, the Coptic Church to be just as much the Church as the totality of the Eastern Orthodox.

I will say that it matters to me that the earliest Patriarchates are Antioch, Rome, and Alexandria. Historically speaking, Constantinople and Jerusalem are later.
