sorry Revised Julian Cal. which still celebrates the feasts like christmas ,Dormition on the same day as the west, Sorry. The majority of the world’s Orthodox are still on the Julian calendar. Those on the revised Julian calendar continue to be in sync with the Julian Calendar for the Paschal cycle. I have experienced both…it is my prayer that all will return to the Julian Calendar.

*Is joint statements about church affairs and joint Church/prayer services just discussion?*I suppose.

Why would the Pope apologise in Greece for it then 500 years later if it wasnt a prob? Because it is one of many issues that divide us.

Gregorian… just in case you wanted to become Catholic

😛

also dont the Finnish Orthodox church go by the Gregorian Easter?

Is it called Revised Julian calender because it doesnt include the Gregorian Paschal cycle?

But if the Finnish church use the Greg. Paschal cycle then does that mean they use the ‘complete Gregorian Calender’?

I think Malankara (Indian) Orthodox use it as well, but they are Non-Chalcedonian as I’m sure you know. 🙂

You’ve read this?

“Patriarch Kirill strengthens his position by reforming the Orthodox Church and looks towards Rome in the meantime. In practice, however, there is one thing standing in the way: the Ukraine. The Ukraine is the Russians’ birthplace. Russia rose from Kiev over a millennium ago, out of the Viking principality of Rus, and that is when it converted to Christianity; this is where the prototypes of its faith, art, the liturgy and monasticism are found. But the Ukraine is also home to the world’s largest Catholic Church of the Eastern Rite, with more than five million faithful. We are similar to the Orthodox faith in every aspect, in the Greco-Byzantine liturgies, in our customs and in the clergy’s right to marry. The two churches only differ in terms of showing obedience to the Pope. The Russian Orthodox faithful fear that Rome might decide to place Ukraine’s Greek Catholic Church at the head of the Patriarchate. Nothing would be more intolerable for Russian ecclesiology that a “Roman” Patriarchate that acts as a rival in a land where there is already an Orthodox Patriarchate. All the more so, if one bears in mind the existence of the Patriarchate of Moscow, which has carried the name of “third Rome” since the Sixteenth century. In sum, it all boils down to this: if Rome can show that it does not intend to raise Ukraine’s Greek Church to the Patriarchate, then a meeting between the Russian Patriarch and Benedict XVI can be arranged.” (Vatican Insider Dec 29th 2011)

I’ve followed the Ukraine through the Sisters work their this past year. Pretty much out of need and poverty their help comes through “Aid to the Church in Need” . I have no idea what the Church plans to do here in regards to the above article, first I seen/read it. I know EWTN is now viewed throughout the Ukraine as of last month I believe.
