NEW: Original Sin/Immaculate Conception

GAssisi:

OK, let me rephrase my statement: I guess the Orthodox Church is PASSIVELY working for disunity. Better?

It may work for you but it doesn’t do it for me.

Mind you the Roman Catholic Church is actively working to foster disunity in the Orthodox countries. Russia, the Ukraine, - and then we have Romania and Theodorro’s very overt attitude that Romanian Catholics would like nothing better than the destruction of Orthodoxy. Well, at least he is honest about it.

Come now, Father. The Vatican is walking on eggshells for the sake of possible unity with Orthodox regarding the Ukraine - and the Vatican has to do that because of — (drumroll) — the RUSSIAN ORTHODOX. It is the Russian Orthodox who are doing absolutely nothing to help the situation (call it passive fostering of disunity ).

As far as Russia is concerned, it is the unfortunate hypocrisy of the Russian Orthodox hierarchs that is causing the strife. Seriously, why cannot the Catholic Church set up structures to help their members, if the Russians are doing so in traditionally Catholic lands? Answer: the Catholic Church CAN by the very simple law of Christian love - do unto others as you would have them do unto you. If the Russian hierarchs would only remember this, there would not be so much strife. D’accord?

God bless,
