Well there is a middle ground, and we have it.

There is the right path of reunion. As this Great Shepherd has said, "We need to breathe with both lungs," in referring to a hoped for reunion of East and West.

There will come a time when even the East will Bless this Holy man and all he did in an attempt to clear away obstacles that opened the path to reunion

Dream on. He has done more to alienate us than any other pope. My spiritual father has a very hard time discussing it with me at all. Most Orthodox I know consider JP2 to be the worst pope you have had, and he wins the contest of most-disliked pope, hands down.
Would you like to me spell it out for you? Start with Ziggy Brzezinski, Ukraine, kissing the Koran, and all the outright proselytizing. Patriarch Alexi II won't even reply to this pope. The Georgian Patriarch greeted JP2 at the airport and failed to show up for the meeting later to discuss "things". Just couldn't make it.
Keep dreaming, but take my word for it. We can't wait for this pope to move on. And we can't wait to forget about him either.

Oh yeah, and beatifying the Croatian butcher and murderer of Orthodox Serbs didn't go over real well with us either.
