Here's an idea....we get all our bishops in one big room together, sit down, and hope for Pentecost version 2.0?

They would probably have to rent a huge colliseum, like one used for football or baseball.

CaDan said:Nah. I think they should be really crowded. It'll help them get their work done!

Forgive me if I have offended any Catholics, but this is my opinion.
Alexis OCA said:You are right. This is more of the same post vatican II nebulous nonsense! What hubris this man shows. WE are the ORTHODOX...it's more than just a name!

Xpycoctomos said:No offense, but that begs the question (even though I agree with you). Obviously the Pope doesn't see it that way... or he'd be Orthodox. Just thought I woulod point that out.

MORTANIUS said:Just a consideration about the differences between Roman C. and Orthodox.
Iraeneus of Lyons and Saint Polycarp debated the issue of Easter. Both tried to convince each other to celebrate Easter according to what either believed was the correct time for it.
In the end they both decided that to accept the canons etc is more vital and the celebration of Easter would continue as each (West and East) had always done so in their own way.
So is Easter still really an issue for reunification?

sin_vladimirov said:Mort as long as Rome teaches Mt. XVI. 18. the way they do, unity will be something Latins are talking and Orthodox shaking their heads about.
It is simple. There can be no untity [while] the reasons for disunity are still there.
