Ping!
What does this mean? Is this the Vatican simply saying “if you Orthodox accept the Roman Papacy as the authority, then we will have unity”? Or is it something different like a fundamental change in their position that Rome has primacy?
My gut feeling is reunification would be great! Orthodox seems so much more traditional and respectful of the Mass. Curious as to what other freepers think?
