“An Agreed Statement of the North American Orthodox-Catholic Theological Consultation Saint Paul’s College, Washington, DC October 25, 2003”

That excellent meeting of the "wiser heads" was 4 and ahalf years ago. One of its recommendations was the following:

• that the Catholic Church, as a consequence of the normative and irrevocable dogmatic value of the Creed of 381, use the original Greek text alone in making translations of that Creed for catechetical and liturgical use.

That such a recommendation fell on deaf ears is as clear as day.

Most people are fooled by the papist Ecumenical Patriarch that the convergences is greater than parallel lines. He and the Pope cnstantly express "hope" and "pray" for speedy reunion. However, documents such as the one you linked show otherwise. We have not gotten closer one iota despite the "dialogue"; but we are at least civil towards each other (well, most of the time). I guess that counts for something.

hi Kosta — I would request you to not use the slur “papist” — you can use Pro-Papal or Pro-Catholic to describe the EP if you wish, but let’s not use that term “papist” as it’s symbolism is quite insulting.
