So which method of zotting do you prefer?

The Church's "core" is Jesus Himself. And the gates of hell will not prevail against it.

If the Church could "breathe with both lungs" and the schism between the Catholic and Orthodox mended, the entire Church would be STRONGER. Likewise, the Catholic Church would benefit and is already benefiting immensely from people converting from Anglican/Episcopalian to Catholicism.

I have confidence that the Holy Father can not only get the Church back to the basics and start to heal its wounds (especially during this Year of the Eucharist), but that he can make huge steps toward meaningful ecumenism, without diluting the Church.

I was hoping that the Holy Father would make it a Tridentine only basilica!
