Haideti sa nu deviem mai mult de la subiect (care este ‘ortodoxia si ecumenismul’)! Mutati-va, va rog, pe un alt thread unde sint tratate ereziile specifice romano – catolicismului. Pina acolo va indemn sa meditati la cele spuse de Sf. Grigore, Papa al Romei, in raspuns la atribuirea termenului de “ecumenic” la titulatura episcopului Constantinopolului, Sfintul Ioan Postitorul la acea vreme, ca sa vedeti cit de clar si frumos, poetic chiar, ii arata cum episcopii sint toti ca unul in Biserica Universala (Ortodoxa):
“For what are all thy brethren, the bishops of the universal Church, but stars of heaven, whose life and discourse shine together amid the sins and errors of men, as if amid the shades of night? And when thou desirest to put thyself above them by this proud title, and to tread down their name in comparison with thine, what else dost thou say but I will ascend into heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of heaven? Are not all the bishops together clouds, who both rain in the words of preaching, and glitter in the light of good works? And when your Fraternity despises them, and you would fain press them down under yourself, what else say you but what is said by the ancient foe, I will ascend above the heights of the clouds? (Sf. Papa Grigore cel Mare, 590 – 604 AD, Cartea V, Scrisoarea XVIII, http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/npnf....v.v.viii.html)
