Desire for unity is sufficient to bring individual people in the Church as we see in the doctrine of baptism by desire, for example. But in this case, since the only heresy in Orthodoxy is persistence in schism, desire for unity removes the heresy. It is not a dogmatic novelty.

It is true that individuals may convert now, and some do (I did). Still, it would please God Who prayed for unity so fervently (John 14), for the Churches to unite corporally.

I was assuming before that you were a confused Catholic. Now I have my doubts whether you are even a Catholic. You are totaly winging it. Where do you get your material, or do you just make it up yourself? Your ideas are total novelties.

Nowhere does even Vatican II teach that. You just made it up. You are winging it.

They have many heresies, look it up for yourself. You are wrong again. AND winging it.

Re: desire for unity removes the heresy. It is not a dogmatic novelty.

1) It is not dogmatic anything. It's not even a theory by anyone in history.

2) It is a novelty

You didn't answer my question. Are you a Catholic?
