Evangelical Catholicism is the true form of Christianity. It is an unfortunate reality that so many sects arose out of what was originally intended to be a reformation of Western Catholicism, the Papacy is antichrist after all but Luther never intended for Protestantism as it is to arise, and it's a shame that so many supposedly Evangelical Catholic groups, like the ELCA, have accepted faggotry, genital mutilation, as well as baby murder and other abominations, but if you're in America I would very much suggest LCMS despite the fact that they're congregationalist in polity, they actually don't consider this doctrine and they do have fellowship with other Evangelical Catholic communities which have apostolic succession.

It's like you're trying really hard to get to that original teaching by viewing a pseudo-tradition.
All while ignoring the real tradition that hasn't been changed.

That original teaching is found in the bible. It doesn't come from some Greek homo in a dress

Evangelical Lutherans and Methodists are closer to it than most at least.
Anything that resembles the pre-Justinian church really. There's a reason why plagues came on Orthodox and Catholic heads at particular times.

And you're a Roman Catholic Papist, only one part of Catholicism, which also includes Orthodoxy since the Byzantine Church is officially called the Orthodox Catholic Church. Unfortunately Catholicism has split into many different Churches. This kinda happened in the beginning too but eventually things got mostly sorted out although unfortunately since Christianity had pretty much been trade marked by the Roman Empire now things got political and corrupt. Your sect basically began fully institutionalizing the religion at that point up until and even after the Protestant Reformation. Not that there hadn't been a religious hierarchy in the Church already obviously since the head presbyter, the episcopos, became monarchical, but this is reflected in the New Testament itself and is a completely acceptable form of Church governance (as are the other polities to varying degrees), however the clergy of the Roman-Byzantine Church began having too much power and they basically became an elite and a society unto itself apart from the rest of Christianity, not just to the lay people, but also to the presbyters and religious.

Funny that you mention Turks. I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually Turks who forced Christians to look like black garbed ghouls (while the Muslims reserved the white garb for themselves). This was not how early clerics dressed. So much for "sacred tradition". This is neither scriptural or even in the early Byzantine church. The early clerics just had regular day-to-day clothes and reserved fancier vestments for the liturgy. Somewhere along the way, clerics were told to wear all black (as a "symbol of dying" to the world, so they say… but I think that's just a later cope, after humiliations by Turks). The cope has lasted so long you know call it "sacred tradition".

I actually kind of like the direction this thread is going. I always liked wearing black but life has taught me to distrust others who do. There are some people who do so to represent "God dressed in black" as System of a Down puts it as a kind of condemnation of the terrible state of the world like the Orthodox and then there are psychopaths who dress in black and pursue some ulterior agenda like Hillary Clinton, and also many glowies too. I wonder if it's because black incites fear in people.

And you'd be wrong with every sentence.
