Thanks for the link, BAC. It is, shall we say, "enlightening".

"Therefore, no one will be saved who, knowing the Church to have been divinely established by Christ, nevertheless refuses to submit to the Church or withholds obedience from the Roman Pontiff, the Vicar of Christ on earth." D, did you try to sell me a "bill of goods"? I readily know and believe The Church to have been divinely established by Christ and willingly submit to The Church, but I withhold my "obedience" from the Roman Pontiff, while recognizing that there is a sort of ontological, real, exercisable primacy in that See when it teaches the orthodox Faith. Trust is a hard thing to build, D and an easy thing to loose. Here's a guarantee; if the Orthodox laity cannot trust especially informed and educated Latins, there will never be a union whether our hierarchs from the EP on down want it more than anything else. Now, perhaps the decree condemning Feeneyism has likewise been refined?

Sorry; I forgot to close the formatting on post 53. Clumsy of me!
