I am responding here to your first response to my letter of last night (I haven't read the others yet).
What you write here is fair.
Thank-you. What I wrote was not designed to offend, but rather to point out the very real differences in the way each Church views the world. There is a great Greek word, "metanoia" which means a number of things, but as I mean to use it here means a fundamental change of character in a spiritual sense. For Churches whose phronemas are so very, very different to come into communion with one another, one or the other will have to experience metanoia. Kosta has laid out some of the changes instituted by the Roman Church since the Great Schism which would have to change. I am suggesting that without metanoia, the Church of Rome will never get to that point. And I have yet to hear any theological or even historical reason why the East should change what the Church believed and practiced through the 7 Councils and which we still preserve.
