De exemplu in Acordul de la Balamand din 1993, se afirma urmatoarele:
12) Because of the way in which Catholics and Orthodox once again consider each other in relationship to the mystery of the Church and discover each other once again as Sister Churches…
13) … On each side it is recognized that what Christ has entrusted to His Church—profession of apostolic faith, participation in the same sacraments, above all the one priesthood celebrating the one sacrifice of Christ, the apostolic succession of bishops—cannot be considered the exclusive property of one of our Churches…
14) It is in this perspective that the Catholic Churches and the Orthodox Churches recognize each other as Sister Churches, responsible together for maintaining the Church of God in fidelity to the divine purpose, most especially in what concerns unity. According to the words of Pope John Paul II, the ecumenical endeavor of the Sister Churches of East and West, grounded in dialogue and prayer, is the search for perfect and total communion which is neither absorption nor fusion but a meeting in truth and love (cf. Slavorum Apostoli, n. 27).
De unde rezulta clar ca Bisericile “Ortodoxe” semnatare recunosc “tainele” romano – catolicilor si ca, o consecinta fireasca, Biserica Ortodoxa numai impreuna cu Biserica Romano – Catolica reprezinta Biserica lui Dumnezeu.
Documentul a fost semnat de Ips Antonie al Transilvaniei si Pr. Dumitru Radu in numele BOR. Bisericile care n-au semnat au fost cele ale Ierusalimului, Greciei, Georgiei si Serbiei care n-au fost reprezentate la conferinta interconfesionala de la Balamand.
Si iata si cum se rezolva o schisma de 1500 de ani intre Biserica Ortodoxa si Bisericile monofizite (citez din Acordul de la Chambesy din 1990):
8. Both families accept the first three Ecumenical Councils, which form our common heritage. In relation to the four later Councils of the Orthodox Church, the Orthodox state that for them the above points 1-7 are the teachings also of the four later Councils of the Orthodox Church, while the Oriental Orthodox consider this statement of the Orthodox as their interpretation. With this understanding, the Oriental Orthodox respond to it positively.
9. In the light of our Agreed Statement on Christology as well as of the above common affirmations, we have now clearly understood that both families have always loyally maintained the same authentic Orthodox Christological faith, and the unbroken continuity of the apostolic tradition, though they have used Christological terms in different ways. It is this common faith and continuous loyalty to the Apostolic Tradition that should be the basis for our unity and communion.
10. Both families agree that all the anathemas and condemnations of the past which now divide us should be lifted by the Churches in order that the last obstacle to the full unity and communion of our two families can be removed by the grace and power of God. Both families agree that the lifting of anathemas and condemnations will be consummated on the basis that the Councils and Fathers previously anathematized or condemned are not heretical.
Intr-alte cuvinte, Parintii Bisericii au fost niste topirlani needucati care n-au priceput limbajul teologic elevat al monofizitilor. Ce conteaza ca unii au murit pentru ortodoxie, s-au dus doar ca niste prosti! Si dupa cum reiese de la punctul 8, Parintii Stilului Nou nu vad nici o problema in faptul ca monofizitii nu sint dispusi sa accepte hotaririle celorlalte 4 Sinoade Ecumenice, care s-au tinut doar ca episcopii sa aiba oportunitatea sa mai iasa si ei in lume, pentru ca se pare ca dogma a fost batuta-n cuie la primele 3. In 1991 Biserica Antiohiei a intrat in comuniune deplina cu Biserica Siriaca. In 2001, Biserica Alexandriei s-a maritat cu cea Copta. Sa vedem ce minunatii o sa ne aduca si anul 2011!
