• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I remember a while back someone posting a video of a Metropolitan, I think, speaking about the Catholic idea of a "Pope." In the video, he said something to the effect of "It was not like this in the beginning. It should not be one person. It is supposed to be all of us." Or some paraphrase like that?

I would also be interested in anything similar, be it a video or quotation from someone of authority in the Orthodox Church.

I am considering working on a piece discussing what would need to happen for there to be unity between the two Churches. So my purpose has nothing to do with debate. Just looking for the references. :) Thanks, friends.

Hi, MrPolo. :wave:

I can't think of who that was. I'm sorry I can't help you. I hope one of my brothers and sisters here will know. Good to see you, and good luck on your research!
