Thank you for the response.
I just can’t shake the feeling that it matters with whom you are “communing”, and what exactly it is with which you are communing, and that the timing is a disaster, somehow.
Probably I believe appearances matter and the Vatican will count this affair as a reward for their own “advancements”, otherwise known as bad behaviors.

Everyone knows exactly whom they are communing with in this case: the Eastern Orthodox Churches and the Catholic Church. There are no strangers there. Even Pope Francis is well known to the Orthodox because of his work with Eastern Catholics in Argentina. And the timing is not a disaster. The timing is NEVER perfect because we make the mistake of thinking it’s our time when it is always God’s. You seem to be forgetting the whole realm and role of grace.

The Holy Spirit is not forgetting His job.
