Unity is in the Catholic Church per pre-VII popes. The Orthodox need to turn to Catholicism. This “Bishop of Rome” (and remember that is how he describes himself from the very start, not as Pope) seems to be more interested in promoting VII’s False Religion of False Ecumenism. And don’t think that wasn’t exactly why he declared a schismatic a Doctor of the Church.

“...the Orthodox need to turn to Catholicism...”

Agreed, (as far as doctrine, but retaining their own liturgies, etc.) and all your points are well taken. It did cross my mind that this Pope may have a bad motive such as the one you stated here. However, God can work all things towards good in the end and maybe this would start a reconciliation between the East and the West, if it can be done without changing the Church’s (pre Vatican II) doctrines. Probably not possible, but one can hope.
