The Great East-West Divide

No, I am not talking about the differences and division between Christians and Muslims. This time I am talking about the Roman Catholic and Eastern Othodox divide. An article written here states the intention to go forward in discussions between the two churches. That the Church 'would breathe with both of its lungs' has been a great wish of many Catholics since the Schism.

The positive note in the article is that they appear to really wish to tackle the issue of papal primacy. This is the main point of contention that is unfortunately dividing the Churches. Of course, some Eastern Rite Churches have rejoined Rome but the majority are still yet to come home.

Please pray that we regain all our long lost Eastern Orthodox brothers and sisters.
