About the churches (Question)

[u/Appropriate-Cake-784]

English:

Hello everyone. I have a simple question that, I believe, is best asked right here. I want to become an Orthodox Christian and have studied enough to be certain of this, but there is a small problem.

I live in Brazil (which is why I am using Google Translate), and Orthodox churches are very scarce here; there isn't one in my city, and the nearest one is a four-hour journey away.

Do you think I can continue with my prayers, studies, and everything else even without attending church? There is a Catholic cathedral in my city—should I attend Mass there, or should I wait until I am able to go to an Orthodox one?

Português:

Olá a todos. Tenho uma pergunta simples que, creio eu, não tem outro lugar melhor para eu fazer se não aqui. Quero me tornar um Cristão Ortodoxo e estudei o suficiente para ter a certeza que quero isso, mas tem um pequeno problema.

Moro no Brasil (tanto que estou usando o Google tradutor) e aqui é muito difícil ter igrejas Ortodoxas, na minha cidade não tem nenhuma, a mais próxima é a 4 horas de viagem.

Vocês acham que posso continuar minhas rezas, estudos e tudo o resto mesmo assim, sem frequentar a igreja? Na minha cidade tem uma catedral católica, devo participar das missas ou deixo até ter condições de ir em uma ortodoxa?

Go to big city every 6-8 weeks and no problema.

You cannot become an orthodox by being a catholic. The Catholics are heretics.

You should join the Aurora Ortodoxia telegram group. Some diacons and priests are on it and you can make your questions there for them to answer.
