Most logical anwser and most acceptable solution will be a transformation of Catholic church and Ortodox Churrch in one Christian Church on same way like today Eastern Churches are organised:
- Pope will be a head of the Christian Church, but "First among eaquals".
Also it would help if next Pope of Christian Church would be Ortodox.
I belive that ecumenism is now mostley political question.
For that you must appeal to the Holy Spirit. It would also help to have some Orthodox, under the age of 80, elevated to the College of Cardinals.
During the last conclave, Lubomyr Husar of the Ukrainian Catholic Church stepped forward to read the oath before the Bible, then bent over and kissed the Holy Scriptures. This reverence is one familiar to us in the Eastern Churches but Latin Catholics who witnessed this were most impressed.

No absoprtion and no morphing! The Church is One Catholic and Apostolic, the faith is One and Orthodox. The Church can be one only if it is Catholic and Orthodox in that context.
Also it would help if next Pope of Christian Church would be Ortodox.
All Popes prior to Great Schism were Orthodox (faith-ise, not rite-wise)! As to whether a Pope must be a Latin Rite bishop, ordianed Latin Rite priest, or anyone, I ask Catholic Freepers to clarify.
