Granted it is good we are talking with one another, as opposed to 'at' one another, or not talking at all. But can someone explain to me what exactly this half century dialogue has accomplished in concrete terms?
What major doctrinal differences have been resolved? Have any?
Although the dialogues with Rome have produced documents, I do not think that they have resolved anything. We have been apart for over 1,000 years if you go back to the roots of the schism. It will not be easy to heal the wounds, because it is much more than a matter of doctrine. We do not think the same way as Roman Catholics. Besides, the Catholic Church needs to firs clean up its own act and get rid of the feminist nuns and pro-gay theologians that have surfaced since Vatican II.
One point of agreement (or something close to that) is the Catholic idea of original sin sounding a lot more like the Orthodox idea of ancestrol sin as the years have rolled by.
Until the papacy is abolished, the many [Catholic] theological inventions are scrapped, and the entire Catholic Church converts to the Orthodox faith, there can be no reunion. Very sad, but very true.
This is sadly part of a very common occurrence in Kosovo. Vandals enter churches, set them on fire, then they urinate and defecate in them. ...
"The World is trying the experiment of attempting to form a civilized but non-Christian mentality. The experiment will fail; but we must be very patient in awaiting its collapse; meanwhile redeeming the time: so that the Faith may be preserved alive through the dark ages before us; to renew and rebuild civilization, and save the World from suicide."

Religious item swaps?
DeleteAs to the doctrinal... none that I can think of.
