How long till they'll be in full communion with each other again? My money is 200 years.

It's happen before, but those goddman turks break them up.
I say 100 years.

Wut?

Francis heavily implied that Lutherans can take Communion with Catholics back in November of last year

>Francis stressed that it was not his place to give permission for Protestants to receive Catholic Communion, and that differences on doctrine remain.
>But he noted that “life is greater than explanations and interpretations,” and he cited his own experiences in which Protestant friends said they also believe in the “real presence” of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Yeah, nah.

It will have to be a miracle or one church will have to say that it's wrong. I can't see any way of getting around the issue of papal authority.
Lutherans are not in full communion with the Catholic church, only Catholics are allowed to take communion at a Catholic church.
Assuming Lutheranism purges itself of shit like women priests and stuff, how long would it take for Lutherans and Catholics to enter full communion?

Orthodox also are allowed to commune with Catholics by the Catholics, but not by their own church.

Look up the declaration of Ravenna. Framework exists in Orthodoxy for the Pope to assume the leadership role the Ecumenical Patriarch currently holds. The only thing the Pope has to do is formally convert himself and his church to Orthodoxy.
I would prefer it if the Patriarchate of Rome and the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople would sort their shit out before 1000 years of Great Schism.
Wishful thinking, I know.

Man, I get really confused about this Pope. He reportedly saying one thing then it was actually another. Some people say that the words get lost in translation, if that is true then they should fire their translators because this shit is fucking confusing.

Well in the end they wouldn't have achieved it without the support of the Sultan.

It's his shtick. He loudly says something that appeals hard to non-Catholics, then the church comes out and quietly "clarifies" the statement to retract it. The populace hears the appealing thing and has a good impression of the Pope, but aren't paying attention to all the individual church retractions.
It's a great PR strategy.

They agree on most things. Say "we have found an acceptable form in which the Bishop of Rome can exercise his prerogatives as protos".
Melkites are always helpful with their gadfly proposals, even if they are silly.

>retards think this shit is going to be relevant in 200 years
The only thing that would proc a "full communion" among Catholics and protestants would have to be some huge religious revolution. The only thing I can think of is If every Muslim was a sleeper agent and activated at the same time.
