In fact, it seems to me that Roman Catholics don't care much for what they encounter in Palamism.

I prefer to withhold judgement until I learn more about the differences and distinctions that the Orthodox make in Palamatic formulations. I don't think agreeing to something without knowing the deeper meanings does much to help matters. If you want to know why Roman Catholics don't 'care' much for the Orthodox saint's writings, it is because the vast majority haven't heard of them or read them. And it doesn't help matters when people use the same words to mean different things (like a Catholic vs. Protestant understanding of "salvation").

Regards

"I don't think agreeing to something without knowing the deeper meanings does much to help matters."

And I think that's a great rule, Jo!
