[Cronos]

Instead we should be praying for that happy reunion which will be so pleasing to Our Lord. What form that reunion will take should be of no concern to us as it will be as He wills. Pray mightily that the wounds which have divided Christendom for a millenium be healed.

Actually, on thinking about this, I'm sure there is something good that will come out of the millenium of separation. The Orthodox have much to teach the Catholic and vice-versa. Both of us will reunite and so too with the Orientals and Assyrians and Protestant groups that are orthodox.

From the depths of despair (which we are in now, with secularism and islam creepingly taking over), we have nowhere to go but up. God does not give us problems we can't bear and, like Job, we will rise above this and be better a thousand-fold

I don’t believe that we will reunite with the various Protestant groups as a whole; rather it will be individuals. The power of theological determination will be the roadblock towards reunification except perhaps with the Anglicans and the conservative Lutherans.
