The exact opposite. The Pharisees were obsessed with legalism, with following their interpretation of the Law to the letter, at the expense of your actual spiritual disposition and at the expense of virtue and righteousness.

Along this line, Western legalistic understanding of Christianity including Roman Catholicism and peaking with Protestantism is just so far removed from actually affecting repentance in your spiritual life.

I have no interest in interdenominational dialogue, because I believe the truth is objective. It's not my opinion, my opinion is irrelevant; it's just the truth according to history and the fruit of the Church, the Saints. Presbyterians don't have Saints. You were the one who came into this thread, deliberately made yourself upset, and started calling me names.

Put it this way: if you want the medicine that is proven to work for 2000 years, don't try to change the prescription by going to an unproven Liturgical style that just so happens to bring with it lots of questionable aspects of Roman Catholicism, including the Sacred Heart cult, etc.
That issue is for the Bishops to decide, not me, but these things take time, and the western rite is a fairly new development. To me I don't think the fruits are the same so far, so I see no reason not to just be Orthodox as it has always been.
I would go to the normal Antiochian and the Greek parishes in that order.
And pray. Pick up an Orthodox prayer book in their bookstore if you don't already have one
