"Annalex, reading this I have realized that thanks to the Protestant presence here I can clearly see now more than before how close Orthodox and Latins are, and, mor eimportantly, how trivial, in comparison with their theoogy of a God who uses evil to His satisfaction, our differences seem. We are, but in comparatively minor details, one Church and that realization is in itself awesome."
Ah, my Balkan brother, what did our Thomas Merton say? "The foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men!"

Annalex, reading this I have realized that thanks to the Protestant presence here I can clearly see now more than before how close Orthodox and Latins are I've told you you are close. There is little difference between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox any more. And someday you'll discover how close you really are to most of the Protestant denominations. The roots of your side goes to free will. The roots of the truly Reformed Protestants goes to monergism.
