"What we see is not two lungs but Christian unity, we see One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church being healed from within."
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't see the two formulations as mutually exclusive, although I am happy to live with yours. Two lungs exist within one body, and it is clear that there are legitimate differences of rite and small "t" traditions in the east and west, and all coexist within the one Church of Christ. I was also viewing the Ecumenical Patriarch as more of a symbol of the Eastern churches, not making a statement that he has exactly the same authority as the Pope. Anyways, thanks for your comments.
