Now admit it, NYer. You don’t seriously wonder why we Orthodox aren’t just thrilled at the prospect of reunion with the Church of Rome, do you!

It is strange-—the Orthodox Communion is far less hierarchial than the Catholic one, and far more horizontally figured than the Catholic vertical model, but the Orthodox have a far more uniform practice and the laity are much more in full agreement with the basic doctrines. In the Catholic Church, almost all doctrine is officially pronounced in the catcheism, but huge numbers of Catholics, even those in authority, make up their own doctrine.

Frank question time: have you been praying that the crisis in the Latin Church ends?
