Nektarios,
I am antiochian, we have no pews, my priest wears a rasson every where, has long hair and a beard, ect, ect... blah blah blah.
Ecumenism sucks, get over it.
Your mother bakes you a great big chocolate cake and serves it to you. But just when you are about to take a big bite, your little sister (or whom ever) informs you that your mother baked a terd in it. You of course give it back to your mother and refuse to eat it. But if she then dresses it up with more frosting and adds a few more sprinkles will you eat it then? Would you try to even take the smallest piece that didn't look compromised and eat it?
So what good is it that a priest dresses this way or that way when the fundementals are corrupt? What part of this can really be good?
I am sure there are some Uniate "priests" who have longer beards and more traditional icons than my Synod - but who is going to say, "Uniatism stinks", or rather, communion with heresy stinks "get over it"?
How about saying, a terd in a cake stinks "get over it"? How come we know whats good to eat and pleasing to our stomach but we don't see what is profitable spiritually? Perhaps it is to easy to "get over it" when it comes to spiritual things in the life (something we are all guilty of).
