>Go and baptize all nations
I think a decent heuristic is who evangelizes more, orthodox people essentially don't at all. Anything outside of eastern europe is just b/c of refugees basically.

By this logic, Catholics weren't good Christians until they began to have success in colonial expansion after the Reformation.
I think the more obvious answer lies in lack of coastline and being penned in by Islam and Latin Christianity. The Latins also had very little success converting Muslims, they only had success when displacing primitive religions in colonized lands.
That the East was more economically and technologically backwards also played a role. This wasn't always true, it used to be more advanced and more evangelical under Byzantium, but the ERE collapsed and that's the main difference.

Nta but saying “cope” is the worst look in an argument and immediately exposes you as a retarded zoomer. Put up or shut up.

I'd actually recommend the Ancient Faith Bible. Now, a huge problem is they do not have the Septuagint books, but it's the only one volume Bible that has all its notes from Patristic citations. I really like it for that. The CSB translation is fine. Nor my favorite, but it works. I have a few I use regularly, NASB, DRB, KJV, RSV. I think for most things the CSB is quite good. My favorite is actually Robert Alter for the OT though, although the essays are obviously to be taken in context as largely looking at the Bible as literature. The translation is quite good for the poetry though.
DBH's translation of the NT is decent too because it leaves a lot of key terms untranslated and stays pretty literal while being more readable than fully literal works.

The Catholic Church spent the middle ages Christianizing pagan lands in Germany, England, and Scandinavia. So did the Orthodox. But the poster is not giving the Orthodox a fair shake here as Russian expansion eastward included Christianization and the mecca of their world is currently called Istanbul.

Go to church and learn to be a good goy and why you should donate to Israel. Not being a christcuck is antisemitic and might lead to kids not wanting to pay billions in support! Nothing could be worse.

The Ignatius Study Bible is bigger than it seems online, it's a big giant tome. I'd recommend a smaller Catholic Bible.
The Orthodox Study Bible is much more portable, but the pages are tissue thin.
This is a common issue with study Bibles in general. They need to contain the entire text of the Bible and the commentary they use. Truth be told I'd recommend getting a Bible without commentary and then getting a supplemental commentary in another volume.
Some people seem to be interpreting the question as "should I become Catholic or Orthodox," and if that is a dilemma you're facing, I'll say that either Bible is acceptable to both churches. The Catholic and Orthodox position on the Bible is similar, they interpret most of it the same or somewhat similarly, and neither Bible will go over the schism or the disputes between the churches. I've known plenty of Catholics who use the Orthodox Study Bible. I don't know many Orthodox, so if they have some objection to the Ignatius Study Bible, I don't know it. But honestly, I doubt they'd have much of an issue with it.

There is also an Ignatius Study Bible of just the New Testament.

It's a tough choice. Do you want to follow the tradition whose binding magisterial documents constantly contradict each other, or the tradition that can't even agree on a single canon? Go buy a KJV instead

Perhaps OP actually believes that Christ's sacrifice was effectual once and for all.

The version on the right has an OT+NT version. The commentary is very Christian, but also very anti-historical, but you kind of have to expect that. My brother loves the one on the left but I haven't pawed through it yet.
