Do you as a member of the EOC see much difference now than in years past? I'm sure you're not thrilled with the VAtican II stuff, believe me a lot of us aren't crazy about the Mass these days.
But do you see the Papacy as less of a political power than it used to be? And do you think that's because of the natural decline of the RCC in temporal political affairs, or the result of an effort on a Pope's part to be more spiritual and less political?
And finally, other than the standard "admit and apologize for the theological errors," what could the Pope or the RCC do to actually make inroads toward the hope of a possible re-unification?
Or, if that's been discussed to death, or you just don't want to discuss it, let this thread die a quick death.
By the way, I hadn't been popping in for a while and have been back a few times lately. Nice to see my friends here and hope you are all doing well.
