As requested, I'm pinging Agrarian and Kosta. My quick read indicates that our hierarchs are correct that the most pressing problem which divides The Church is the Latin Church's understanding of Petrine primacy and how it is properly exercised. As you can see, there is very, very little convergence between the opinion expressed here by the future pope and what Met. John of Pergamum, speaking for the EP and others, stated at the October Synod in Rome.

The most Orthodox response would be to ignore postings such as this one, and there seem to be several today.

Yeah. I agree. This b.a.c. thinks the Holy Spirit has His work cut out on this one :). The Pope is not going to be first among equals. While Jesus gave all Apostles/Bishop the authority to bind and loose, only Peter received the Keys.
