Comments on: Is the orthodox church ever going to convert back to the catholic church? http://www.thewoodcross.org/wordpress/uncategorized/is-the-orthodox-church-ever-going-to-convert-back-to-the-catholic-church-2 Catholic & Orthodox discussion Mon, 21 Jun 2010 14:39:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Kristin http://www.thewoodcross.org/wordpress/uncategorized/is-the-orthodox-church-ever-going-to-convert-back-to-the-catholic-church-2/comment-page-1#comment-6145 Kristin Wed, 17 Feb 2010 02:55:59 +0000 http://www.thewoodcross.org/wordpress/7/is-the-orthodox-church-ever-going-to-convert-back-to-the-catholic-church-2#comment-6145 The Orthodox don't need to "convert back to the faith of Christ." They're Christians. As to whether the schism will ever be healed -- I hope so, but it's not happening anytime soon. I don't think there's much motivation among the Orthodox to make it happen. A decent number are still quite anti-Western, or believe that Catholics are heretics, and hence have no desire to reunite. Current ecumenical talks between the Catholics and Orthodox are focusing on the big issue of what the primacy of the papacy meant back in the first millennium. I do hope they prove useful.<br><b>References : </b><br>Catholic The Orthodox don’t need to "convert back to the faith of Christ." They’re Christians.
