Macedonian Catholic Church

[AnthonyJ]

I find your response to me condescending and a little obnoxious. I asked a question and you seem to think I am all upset that this particular Church wasn’t received. Even if I were upset, what is it to you? This is at least the second time you replied to me in this manner. Don’t bother to respond to any messages from me, as you are now on my ignore list.

I admit to not having an official document about it either, but I don’t think it’s very difficult to understand.

This may sound simplistic, but my suggestion is, rather than trying to put yourself in their shoes, simply imagine a reverse situation. That is, if instead of a group of Orthodox wanting to become Catholics, it were a group of Catholic (say the MGCC, to avoid changing too many aspects of it) wanted to convert to Orthodoxy – taking all their parishes and faithful with them. I know I wouldn’t be entirely happy about it, and I’m guessing you wouldn’t either.

Of course the icing on the cake is the facts that Dr. Dragani mentioned, like the canonical status issue. (I’ve quoted below the relevant portion from the article you linked.)

Well, alright. I didn’t realize that sharing my thoughts with you would be considered either of those things.
