It is about the teaching (path). We should not validate the wrong path. If I pray personally and the other are next to me and/or I pray for my friend Joe this doesn't validate his teaching (his path). It is just John praying for Joe which is a very laudable thing - a sign of love. However when „the orthodox pray WITH Catholics” this means that we provoke scandal by validating a wrong path.

We must make difference between heresy and heretics.

Just to digress, I clicked on the link and read the article, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the page was "Holy Moley! There's some serious beard going on here!"
