I am sure there is a great sense of camaraderie in teaming together to refute Protestants, but at some point Catholics and Orthodox will have to sit down

Absolutely. But you are wrong, and uncharitable, to think that all we have here is the fun one experiences in banding up for a turkey shoot. It is rather a joy of discovering that despite a thousand ears of separation, and despite some inevitable drift, we preserved the same deposit of patristic faith. It is akin to the discovery that four evangelists got a detail wrong here and there, but all four preserved the same historical account.

The schism with the Protestants is qualitatively different, it cuts to the core of the faith.

Then why are Catholics and Orthodox not in communion if you have the same core of faith?
