FK: “...the rulership of the Orthodox Church....” The what??????????????
I'm not talking about physical oppression or anything, but just the claim of the highest church authority on earth. For example, you would rather a lost person in an Apostolic country remain lost if there was even a 0.0001% chance that he would ever meet and then follow an Orthodox priest than have me witness to him today. If that isn't a claim of the highest authority and rulership I don't know what is. :)

Would the Orthodox simply dismiss Orthodox people moving to Catholicism? Not according to some posts I'm reading.
