For the last time on this: The Church taught and still teaches that the Father gives existence to both the Son (by generation) and to the Spirit (by procession) simultaneously before all ages, eternally. If we can't agree on that, as the basis of Trinity we are never going to agree on it, period. And if we do agree on it, there is no need to add, or redefine it, period.

It is pretty obvious to me that any talk of reunion is just empty words. I have no clue what the Pope hopes to achieve; he hasn't stated the goals, the steps and the details of his call for reunion or how he sees that it even merits the effort. I have stated so at the beginning of this thread I posted, and I end it in the same spirit: Your Holiness, state your case!

I explained what procession is that is different from generation according to the Fathers.
