http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saints_Cyril_and_Methodius

Cyril and Methodius were two Byzantine Greek brothers born in Thessaloniki in the 9th century, who became missionaries of Christianity in Khazaria and Great Moravia. They are credited with devising and spreading the Glagolitic alphabet, which was used for Slavonic manuscripts before the development of the Cyrillic, the alphabet derived from Glagolitic, that, with small modifications, is still used in a number of Slavic languages. After their death their pupils became missionaries among other Slavic peoples. Both brothers were glorified in Eastern Orthodoxy as “equal-to-apostles” and were canonized by the Roman Catholic Church. They became the patron saints of Europe in 1980.[1]

Mayhap to the fellow on the right from the fellow on the left?

Cyril and Methodius are looked upon by the modern church as being proponents of the venacular in the liturgy. This would be a mighty smack down. I did not yawn this time. This is the date. It is going to happen. Deo gratias.

You nailed it exactly! Any idea if the Russian Orthodox share the same date?

Their terms for talking were healing 'western schisms' (with the SSPX) first before bothering them.

The SSPX's terms were a universal indult.

I guess we'll have to wait until Guy Fawkes Day to find out the deal with the Anglicans ;-)

The commencement of the One-World-Religion of the Novus Ordo is about to begin!
