[Theoden]

Hi Kolokronis,

First off, I'll admit, I do not know as much about the great schism as I should, but I know the basics. I am Roman Catholic, and greatly admire the Orthodox churches. I really want us to unite, and be one church again.

The Roman Church can be reconciled under obedience to the primacy, but, the thing I am not sure of, is if all of the Orthodox churches, and their patriarchs would be willing to be one church again, if all of our disagreements were reconciled.

Would the patriarchs, and the people, want to be reunited, or is it only a small group of people, including such as yourself?

Perhaps if the Roman church could ponder the reunion as more important than remaining that which the Orthodox would reunion to, perhaps then such a major and beautiful miracle could occur. Can you imagine the Papal chair moving east? Most RCC members can't and I think that is a primary block of any 'shared view' of what being 'one church again' (east/west that is) would mean.

Reunion can occur, but only when the Pope becomes "first among equals" again.
