As I stated yesterday, the unintended (intended?) consequence of Benedict's outreach to the Anglicans, with a structural componenet in mind, is that it has almost completely de-scandalized the process of reunification (read: political cover).

As the saying goes, "where there's smoke, there's fire". The reunification could come as quickly and be as transformative as the fall of the Soviet satellites back in 1989...The path of least resistance is no longer to oppose Rome, but to join her.

Rejoice!!

I have long said that Christians should stand together. I had in mind Protestents, especially those who already share many things in common with Catholics, like Lutherans and Anglicans. But, welcoming the Orthodox is just as worthy. I rejoice that I see this happening and hope that it does happen quickly. Strength is in numbers and Christians need all the strength we can get in this uncertain and dangerous world.
