:ohvey: If apostate "world orthodoxy" is NOT interested in unia, please explain, BALAMAND, JOINT STATEMENTS ON "baptism, chrismation, the filioque". This is where ecumenism SHOWS ITS TRUE CHARACTER, for not only is an Orthodox Witness NOT PUT FORWARD, it is raileds against! Oustromoff's book, A HISTORY OF THE COUNCIL OF FLORENCE would provide you a background to establish your historical parallel. Read up. This +bishop nicholas recently had his church in Mercer, PA "co-consecrated" with uniates. He attends their functions and receives their heirarchs VESTED in his churches and appears VESTED in theirs with other ep heirarchs. He prays with them and concelebrates with them. Furthermore, the mp decreed in the early 70s, AND IT STANDS UNTIL NOW, that latins can PARTAKE OF THE MYSTERIES IN mp churches. If all this is not symptomatic of apostasy, then the Fathers and Canons lie...
Orthodoxia I Thanatos!
