“If their own bishops won’t obey the Magisterium, why should they?
Because the Church is bigger than them. God’s will for the Church will take place in spite of those who disobey.”
You are stating the obvious and that answer won’t do at all, Theo, at least it won’t for Orthodox Christian who have the same understanding of the Eucharist and its worthy and unworthy reception as you Romans. Try again if you really mean to call on your hierarchs to protect the sacrament and the faithful (and not so faithful).
I am doing what I can.
As you know, the Church is an object of faith. To "state the obvious" is to state my faith that the powers of hell will not prevail against the Church, and that she will remain "One, Holy, Catholic" and "Apostolic" in spite of all of us.
I'll accept you talking down to us from your high-horse, but just this time! :-)
