      Unfortunately, the union has happened. It's just how to break the news to the people.
      Once the world Orthodox recognized and likewise implemented forms of Latin Baptism in the High 90% in the Balkan countries, overtly since the 1960's. They recognize Rome, and hold open prayer's in the highest level.
      As Archbishop Averky of Jordanville (+1976), foresaw and forewarned, the time is coming when stating that you are 'Orthodox' is not enough, since the SO-CALLED Orthodox have nothing to do with the Faith of the Fathers. The term True - Orthodox will be used by those who are faithful and obedient to the true Faith.

    I am a former Catholic who became Protestant and now am Orthodox. I think the doctrine of papal infallibility and the supremacy of the papacy made Rome virtually impossible to commune with. Almost every other theological conflict could be resolved through an ecumenical council, but Rome has unfortunately set herself up as already dogmatically correct. I would love to again commune with my Catholic friends, but it will literally take an act of God to make it happen again.

    Technically it was signed at the council of Florinia Florence, which lead to a big revolt from the faithful laity and the clergy other than the bishops who signed it. The bishops who signed were run out of town by their faithful flocks who only accepted the bishops back when they repented.
    If I remember correctly the fateful priests after Florence Florence place themselves under St Mark of Ephesus or other bishops who rejected the union. Canonically presbyters and deacons can brake communion with a bishop who is openly preaching heresy although he is supposed to appeal to the synod for the bishop to be corrected or replaced and once the synod moves to act the faithful priests are moved to be under another bishop in lue of a new bishop being appointed or the one who has fallen repenting.
    The last thing the Orthodox Church needs to attempt to union with an unrepentant Rome all it would achieve is more schism and pain in communities already struggling with the calendar and other parts of church politics. What the Orthodox Church needs is for all her children to mind their own business and to focus on repenting rather than speculating on sin (repenting is always a safe thing to focus on and the only thing I wish to concentrate on).

    2. Bishops having good personal relationships with one another does not mean they will have good ecclesiastical relationships.
    3. The only people I see who want this to happen on the Orthodox end are people who detest Constantinople so much that they are looking for any excuse to feed their distaste regardless if it is found in actual reality.
    4. Don't quote me on this, but I think the Pope and Patriarch of Constantinople signed an agreement in the 60s about not trying to regain communion bit-by-bit because. If union happens, it will be because the whole church decides to submit.

They hate the EP and/or GOARCH already - in some cases calling them outright schismatics because of Ukraine or whatever other reason - and seem to just use this issue as another way to grind their axe (and like most who make anti-ecumenism their raison d’etre, will conveniently ignore the way Middle Eastern Orthodox make reasoned overtures of unity with other Christian denominations because they have to for survival).

Of course, if it is just the EP reuniting with Rome as is, then that's messed up. But if Rome yields with regards to the role of the Pope, then I'd say it's a fair adjustment. I pray for the reunion, but truth be told I doubt either part would simply yield completely to the demands of the other. I think that if it ever happens, it'll be under the shape of a mutual compromise of some sort.

      unfortunately not, the Roman Catholic decision is not reciprocated and there is no concept of 'obligation' in Orthodoxy. There are massive differences regarding the understanding of Holy Communion: the fasting regulations for adult Orthodox are so strict most Orthodox only commune during the fasting seasons, also Confession must happen prior to every Communion. There is also the small matter of infant Communion which makes no sense on the RC understanding of fitness to receive but which is a given in Orthodoxy. Also, technically as a non-Orthodox you should, if you respect Orthodoxy, leave the service before the Creed as the Liturgy says, though nobody enforces that now.

It seems that the main objection you have with union is the Filioque. What I can't seem to understand is this grey area that you speak of, as the Council of Florence was approved by the Eastern Bishops, then rejected latter as false. Also there was a time before the schism, where the Eastern Church were well aware that the Western Church used the Filioque, yet they were still as one church.

    In 1965 Patriarch Athenagoras of Constantinople and Paul VI lifted the mutual bans of excommunication from each other's churches. That means that Athenagoras recognized Roman Catholic theology as "orthodox." Did anyone break from him then? Yes, a few, but by and large no one was scandalized enough to leave Athenagoras. In 1969, the Moscow Patriarchate and the Vatican signed an agreement to recognize each other's sacraments and, under certain circumstances, permit their faithful to commune in each other's churches. That means that the MP recognized RC theology as "orthodox." At that time, the OCA recognized the MP as mother church in exchange for their autocephaly. In 2007, the ROCOR accepted the MP as mother church. Seven years ago, Pope Francis and Patriarch Kiril met in Cuba. They declared that they had the same theology and called each other "sister churches." Did the pope become Orthodox? No. That means that Kyrill confesses RC theology as his belief. Whatever they sign in 2025 will be a moot point. The damage is already done, and few care about it.

      Whether the Filioque is true or not is not the same as whether the chant is Byzantine/Russian or Gregorian, nor as whether the mitres are soft and pointy or firm and crown-shaped. It’s an actual doctrinal difference of serious significance, which impacts the nature of the entire Trinity. A different Trinity is a different communion.

    There is no way that happens with the current Catholic Pope, who is a flaming communist.

It is so sad that: “He That Is Not against Us Is with Us” (Mark 9:38-40) cannot bring us together. Why should your Church not keep attending you Church services. there is no need for a devils advocate in any of this. We are the ministers of that truth of Jesus Christ. I have prayed with Orthodox as a Roman catholic and feel just as welcome as I am in my own Roman Catholic church. I pray for this union, if the Almighty is against it, we will know wont WE.
