Surprising News: Water is wet, Russian Orthodox Patriarch upset with Vatican

Catholic World News has the repetitive story.

Like a broken record, the Patriarch or Russia's Orthodox Catholics groans again about the same old thing:

Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexei II has repeated his insistence that the Vatican must satisfy Moscow's demands for an end to Catholic "proselytism" before he will agree to a meeting with the Pope.

Meanwhile, the Dictatorship of Relativism, brought to you by your friendly neighborhood Reasonable elites smothers Christ's severed Mystical Body on one side. Meanwhile, rabid Islamo-fascists bloody Christ's Mystical Body on the other. Both lay waste to Russia and the West.

Yet all Patriarch Alexei II can utter is the demand that the Vatican end Catholic "proselytism." When the enemies ram the city gates, it's time to put aside turf wars. The suffering world requires Christ; he comes through his mystical body, the Church. She needs to breathe with both lungs if she is to witness to our Master with the fullest vigor that lights the darkened sky. How can the Faithful continue to bear the scandal of such a divided Church.

Awaken, Episcopals, rise up, ye Patriarchs. Christ calls us to make our stand. We can argue over chair arrangements later.
