I’m sure we will both survive. The next time you hear someone trumpeting a reunion with the Orthodox Church, remember this discussion and what it says about an Orthodox mindset.
I have learned a lot about the so-called Orthodox mindset, both from you and from others I have known who call themselves such. And it greatly saddens me.
No doubt Our Lord weeps as well. National pride. Ethnic pride. Cultural pride. Over Christian love, forgiveness, and unity. Pathetic.

Please do us all a favor and tell every Latin you know, hierarch, clergy or laity, what truly awful people we are. That, if you can influence enough people, might actually make a difference and Rome will stop lusting after the Orthodox Church. We’ll make it alone, we always have. Let’s face it, A, Rome needs us a lot more than we need Rome.
