You know, db, it is a minefield. I suppose I should just be pharisaical and say thank God I worhip God the way my people have for 1700 odd years and believe the same things in the same way they did. Truth be told, if there is never a reunion, it won't change my life one whit. Sometimes it does seem to me that if there is a reunion, however, my life might change decidedly for the worse.

This is a classic Tragedy of the Commons dilemma that Catholics will have to face as well. The benefits from our religious praxis accrue to the individual alone in a tangible way. The wounds from disunity are borne by the Body of Christ as a whole and not personally. We only experience them as a cosmic disorder, and not as a hole in the flesh.
