Why must we argue bitterly about our differences? That's what caused this all to begin with! What about what we have in common? Could we reunite as it was before the Schism?
Is it just the issue of the Primacy of the Pope holding us back from reunity?
Discuss differences civilly ITT. We want to foster brotherhood for reunification.
Primacy actually isn't a problem at all, just supremacy.
I think the Catholics do a very good of worshiping God with their reason.

because bread with azymes is bad
Why was the Orthodox church so ball-less when it came to Communism? When you think the Pope, you think of a man who does either great or terrible things, but with Orthodoxy the priests do jack shit.

Orthodox bishops are a lot more decentralized than Catholicism

The Church is not supposed to be involved in worldly politics. If they start talking a lot about how communism is bad, greedy businessmen might start rolling out their quotes as some sort of sanction of capitalism.

Because we don't want you to go to Hell

This. I recently converted to Catholicism, and in a crusade thread, I thought how fucking epic it would be for both churches (fuck degenerate Protestants tho) to join together and start a fucking crusade against sandniggers.

Sup Orthobros. Visited an Orthodox Cathedral some months ago. It was really nice, probably the second nicest church I've been in. I really hope the Vatican goes through with sharing Easter dates with the you guys.

Outside the Catholic Church there is no salvation
The Church with the help of the Holy Ghost declared Ex Cathedra: "The most Holy Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and preaches that NONE of those existing outside the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics, can have a share in life eternal; but that they will go into the eternal fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels, UNLESS before death they are joined with Her; and that so important is the unity of this ecclesiastical body that only those remaining within this unity can profit by the sacraments of the Church unto salvation, and they alone can receive an eternal recompense for their fasts, their almsgivings, their other works of Christian piety and the duties of a Christian soldier. No one, let his almsgiving be as great as it may, NO ONE, even if he pour out his blood for the Name of Christ, can be saved, unless he remain within the bosom and the unity of the Catholic Church." Eugene IV, the Bull Cantate Domino, 1441).

And just like that, the polytheists doomed their own church.
Luckily, I'm a little more open minded about my faith, which will survive, unlike your hopelessly outdated daycare for elders

I don't think they have to, in order to achieve communion. We have uniform Pascha dates, but we don't even celebrate Christmas uniformly (some have Julian Calendar, some have Gregorian).
>>403112
Agreed. Orthodox is the second best Church.

Enjoy Hell with your "orthobros" then.

Thats protestant talk, there is literally no salvation outside of the Catholic Church, this is a point established by Papal infallability which means its something that cant be overruled by a council like Vatican II.
