It's a true blessing that the Russian Church has the faith to oppose the ecumenical heresy being espoused by those who call on both sides - Orthodox and Roman Catholic - to "adapt" their faith to the "divided" Church.

Russia's challenge to Christian unity
By Phil Lawler | September 28, 2010 8:30 PM

The Catholic-Orthodox theological discussions, taking place in Vienna this
week, hit a snag when the leader of the Russian Orthodox delegation lodged
an emphatic dissent against the consensus that the early, undivided Church
recognized the primacy of the Bishop of Rome.

That position is a definite deal-breaker, because the theme for discussion
at this session of the joint theological commission is the understanding of
papal primacy during the first Christian millennium-that is, prior to the
schism that split the Christian world into East and West. The head of the
Russian delegation, Metropolitan Hilarion, argued that the primacy of the
Bishop of Rome had never been recognized in the East. If that's the case,
the entire discussion is moot.
