"I am glad to see that Orthodoxy has room for a good debate on an important issue."
Debating theological points is one of the things we love to do...and we do it well.
As far as I am aware, neither Meyendorff nor his students ever rose to the challenge of responding to Romanides' rather devastating critique. Pelikan is diplomatic in his section on this, and doesn't come down on one side or the other -- perhaps because he didn't at the time understand how central Palamas's role is in summarizing the consensus patrum.
There has recently, BTW, been a wonderful book published by St. Tikhon's Seminary by their most first-rate professor there. It is a translation of many of St. Gregory Palamas's sermons for Sundays and feasts. One is struck by their simple directness, lack of ostentation, and brilliant summary of the paristic tradition.
Because we have so few of his writings available in English, we often don't appreciate just how central he was.
