Thanks bornacatholic. +Benedict XVI is reviving the patristic beauty of the Church in the West, externally and internally. Just as his predecessor, +JPII started, the Latin Church is making a bold move for a historic moment. +Benedict XVI says the Church is moving "irreversably towards a reunion." We may not live here long enough to see it, but we can all see it in a different way.

In my lifetime, our particular Churches went from complete separation to withdrawls of excommunications, to inter-Church dialogue, etc. all the way to +Bartholomew I, not so long ago, sending greetings to "Our beloved Roman Catholic Church" while responding to a papal legate who paid him a visit in Instanbul.

So, while it may not be ours to see, we should continue to pray, but remember that the clergy and laity must step forward and initiate these changes.
