The conservative Roman Catholics will never accept a collegiality (this already caused problems with VII). So won't the East. I think Zizioulas' way is not the correct one.
Is there?

Nassos,

The low and ugly, Greece is broke thus Constantinople is broke. Dreams of an eastern "Papacy" and worldwide Orthodoxy under Cstple are fading and Moscow just switched off the lights. The times of wishy-washy ecumenism are coming to an end.

"There are no clouds of mistrust between our two churches” – declared the representative of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. ” If we continue like that – he added – God will find a way to overcome all the difficulties that remain”.
