[Hermann the Cherusker]

What keeps us clinging to our church and each other so stubbornly is not a book or doctrine or even Holy Scripture, but the unity we experience with one another, the love we share, and the inner knowledge of our truth as a family.

St. Josaphat must have certainly felt the deep sincerity of this unifying experential love shared with him by his fellow Orthodox Rus' family as deeply as the passage of the axe and bullet that were smashed through his body by the Orthodox lovers of Christ in Polotsk.

Yes, because Catholics not raise sword against Orthodox all time...for example, you know where Alexander Nevski got name Nevski from? From the Battle of the Neva River where he drove Lithunanians back. But what Lithuanians doing there? Why Russ asked fellow Christians, Catholics...mistake, for aid against Mongols...and Popes in humility and love sent Poles and Lithuanians to conquer Orthodox from West. After Lith. came Teutonics...equally defeated....
