What would it take to have the MP, ROCOR, ROAC, ROCiE, HOCNA all be reunited into one Russian Orthodox Church and one Russian Orthodox Patriarchate.

I am tempted to say: nothing short of a miracle!

How about some real disscussion rather then listing movie names, lol.

WHAT a wild imagination! OK...indulging in that same imagination...I would think that as ROCOR is headed toward reunion now...no worries there. ROCiE, ROAC, and HOCNA would rather see hell freeze over before reunion with MP, though....so my bet is, EVERY single Bishop, Archbishop, etc. in all their Synods would have to die, leaving no one to ordain a new priest. They would THEN look to GOC, if GOC accepted them, well and good, all is happy, no problem, NO MP .

If GOC did NOT accept them, it MAY be possible (you'd have to consult canons, here, to do as (some group ?) did at one point...and elevate TWO bishops by Synod. They could then ordain others, but this is EXTRAORDINARY, and was looked on askance when it WAS once done. It has not been done since, as there was no need.

I do not believe there will EVER be an epidemic of Traditionalist-Hierarch-Microbacteriological-Death-Plague, so the situation is NOT likely to occur.

What would the MP have to do to be reunited with ROCA, ROCiE, and HOCNA?

Breaking relations with World Orthodoxy would be a start. Oh, and if they stopped calling them schismatics and condemning them, that would help to! From the other side, I'm sure that once real and lasting changes were made in the MP, that the ROAC, etc. would be very happy to hear the MP's repentance, forgive them, and let them return to the Church.
