Репост из: Gregory Decapolite
Fr. Seraphim Rose on unity with Rome:
"The Orthodox world is lining up into two camps; if the new "union" with Rome is accomplished, the unionists will find themselves in schism, cut off from the Orthodox Church... In the Orthodox Church no act or statement
possesses validity merely because it comes from a bishop or patriarch; it can possess validity only if it is
Orthodox... Let the unionists, then, the betrayers of Orthodoxy, become Catholics if they will; but let them cease from pretending to speak for the Orthodox Church, which most emphatically rejects them."
