The Great Schism is probably one of the greatest tragedies in Church history. Pray that we might once again become One Church, united as we were before the travesty of 1054.

Stop fighting reconciliation and stop questioning the healing power of Christ. This video makes me happy and gives me hope. I am Orthodox and half of my family in Melekite Catholic in the upper and lower Galilee. We love and support each other....(continues in next post)

The great Schism was such a tragedy. Orthodoxy and Catholicism are by far the most similar branches of Christianity. Its just silly for them not to be one church.

As Orthodox, we desire the return of the Roman Church to holy Orthodoxy and the restoration of union. But, at the same time, such a union would require many changes by the Church of Rome, and would require it to become Orthodox once again.

So when we speak of "union", please know and remember what we ask for and talk about. We do know want a false union without conditions, we desire a true union and true return of the Roman Church to the Holy Apostolic and Catholic Church.

Just as Christ never once expressed hatred or resentment to those who were cruel to Him, neither do I hold a grudge against our Catholic cousins. I was born and raised (and baptized) as Eastern Orthodox myself, and I believe that God loves all people in the same fashion that a doting Father with his children. We need only to ask forgiveness and be welcomed back.

Never keep hatred in your hearts my friends. It is a poison, and will destroy you.

I hope someday catholics and orthodoxs could be one because in heaven we are one church~!!

Well said my friend

[stavrob1]

but...against false union....the only way to unite is for those that have left the one true Holy Catholic and Apostolic church to RETURN! Orthodox brothers and sisters are waiting! An this has nothing to do with "love" for our family members that have married those of Catholic faith or any other faith - we hold the same true for all children of God. 

[brndurham]

Why can't we just reunite already? I go and am officially of the Catholic Church, but my beliefs are more Orthodox; that is, I hold the filioque as a theologoumenon, not a doctrine.

[MegaKrishan123]

This makes my eyes water because it represents the true church joining together.

May the Holy Orthodox Churches and Holy Catholic Churches be united again one day! Long-live the Pope of Rome and Long-live the Patriarch of Constantinople! AMEN.
