In fact I would say they have been miraculously fruitful. We have gone from a thousand year religious cold war (that some times got real hot) to a comparably beautiful spring time. So all the people that go on and on about the fact we have talked for 40 years and have had no resolution, have to realize that we just finished a really long war. We have a shared Christology, maybe we need a new east and west council to define our beliefs about the Holy Spirit and primacy in the Church. That would be a crazy idea, a council with the 3 chairs of Peter presiding in say Toledo, Spain. It would give the phrase Holy Toledo a whole new meaning. Best case the RC, EO and OO walk out as one church, worst case they walk out 3 churches but we have a definitive council to point back at and we can get on with being RC, EO or OO.Jason Snoreply@blogger.com
