What do Roman Catholics want or need to know about Eastern Catholicism?

CDB, this has become an exercise of putting not just ten, but fifty pounds of sugar into a five pound sack.

Good bless!

… because I’m quite of the opinion that if Rome promised not to infringe on their authorities through illicit interventions (i.e. like ripping out general absolutions from their liturgies from the Armenians, or forcing Syriacs to wear Latin vestments until the 20th century) we’d have communion with the Oriental Orthodox in the next century.

I write it with only Armenians and Syriacs in mind, primarily because I have many Armenian and Syriac friends and family members, as well as know clergy (particularly of the later) and so I am pretty familiar with their ways and opinions. I don’t speak regarding Copts because I don’t feel like I’m properly informed enough to do so, and I think I’ve met maybe one Ethiopian Orthodox in my entire life, let alone know anything.

Are of talking about some kind of “dual communion” possibility? I admit that’s rather far-fetched, but I’m not sure what else to make of your post.

Even thinking charitably, I don’t see how you could’ve possibly inferred that. I was simply saying I can speak on the Armenians and Syriacs (and Malankara) in the Oriental Orthodox communion - I’m not versed pertaining to the Coptic Church or the Tewahedo Churches so I won’t pretend to discuss something I don’t know. I implied nothing more.

Fair enough. I probably should have known better than to think I might have understood what you were saying.
