They are a minority however, and the fact is that most of the Roman Catholic leadership and body see the east as a little more than a historical anachronism, one that won't survive its contact with the "modern" world , at least not in its current form (and in this opinion there is no small amount of truth).<br /><br />Talks such as this are much more important for the EP as an institution given their existential crises. Given the modernization of the EP's flock (GOA) and its situation in Turkey, symbolism (much if not most of it "empty" in relation to the real life of the Church) is about all it has left.Jakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152024447008244670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-8862980217940312642022-11-22T12:41:55.845-06:002022-11-22T12:41:55.845-06:00Can we at least admit that having a common date fo...Can we at least admit that having a common date for Pascha (arrived at the right way) would be a good thing?B Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129821596831863015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-38390558346779105462022-11-21T19:51:00.233-06:002022-11-21T19:51:00.233-06:00Another solution in search of a problem.Another solution in search of a problem.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08038508116670615703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73042886598650075.post-31202460285616109282022-11-19T19:10:31.699-06:002022-11-19T19:10:31.699-06:00If this happens (unlikely!) the Orthodox world wil...If this happens (unlikely!) the Orthodox world will add divisions over observance of Pascha to its divisions over the annual calendar.
