“The rest of us, Catholic and Orthodox, have no choice but to honor our Lord’s wishes and continue to work toward unity and drive the demon from amongst us.”

BOF, what you say is correct, but the danger of infection by this sort of spiritual corruption is too great for us Orthodox right now. The hierarchy have the luxury of presiding over big operations and deciding big issues. It is apparent that many Latin hierarchs simply ignore corrosive heresy within their dioceses and in the Latin system, the laity have no power to do anything. In Orthodoxy, we would be bound to deal with heretics like these showing up in our parishes to spread their poison. Our hierarchs might well take a pass on dealing with these types for fear of offending their new Latin partners. In any event, I can just hear my own Metropolitan telling me that I and the council know what to do.

BOF, we have enough problems of our own. You and your hierarchs need to crush these movements once and for all lest the Latin Church in No. America end up like the Episcopalians.

You said: we have enough problems of our own.

Yes, I know. I expect that unity will come in the future, probably not in our lifetimes. But I do know that we will, together, celebrate the Divine Liturgy/Mass in Heaven, and that will be an unknown delight beyond our current comprehension. Holy Mary, pray for us.
