Dear Dunedain,
You are confused and ignorant of Orthodoxy. You should be sick of Catholic polemics rather than from Orthodoxy. Just because you had a bad experience with some Russian jurisdiction conflict does not represent the universality found in and of Orthodoxy. Betraying Orthodoxy for Byzantine Catholicism does not lessen or solve the problems of disunity but rather widens the gap between them. Unity is not found in one bishop as it is believed by you to be in Rome. True unity is based upon truth and justice as known in Orthodoxy regardless of the injustices of the sinful adherents. It is quite unfortunate you did not seek counsel while you were in Orthodoxy or perhaps speak to other Orthodox bishops. Did you walk away from the problem you faced while in Orthodoxy as a Protestant would do? Did you come to Catholicism because you thought it was problem-free and that the Pope "would set you free"? This is what I call a blind communion and regretable act. If you do not like where your at you pick up and go elsewhere relates to an unfortunate mindset. Maybe I am wrong and you can explain yourself as to what happened.
In Christ,
Robert Sweiss
