“well, I wouldn’t say that — I’ve been on many Orthodox-CAtholic threads and they were all initially (maybe 3-5 years ago) bitter and lots of sledges being tossed between both sides.”
They weren’t bitter. You civilized Latin types just weren’t used to the fierce, mountain bandit ways of your Eastern cousins!
“But cooler minds prevailed and we each learnt more about the other and realised they aren’t really “the other”.”
Right. You guys came to understand that down deep you really want to eat baklava, drink thick sweet cafe and maybe dance a little bit after the Liturgy! Since then its been one big “glendi”! :)

I can eat baklava, drink good coffee, and even sip on some licorice-tasting sweet liquor as a Latin. No religious test there.
What I want is to bust up some dishes after eating at a wedding!!!!!

Ah, you got me. But serously, thank you, kosta etc. for letting us learn more about the ways of the Eastern Church. It's helped us both grow.
