[QUOTE="Godward, post: 1498435, member: 21982"] I have never been convinced that the Schism was a theological matter at heart. And given the incessant creativity of theologians, for example the Filioque thing is something that could be overcome, at least if there is truly a will to reunification. It can be reinterpreted in an Ecumenical council, for example, or it can be declared a "Mystery", like the late medieval Church did with regard to Predestination, etcetera. There are many solutions imaginable without anyone losing face. However, if I am correct in asserting that it is a political matter, then a magic key is much harder to find, because it would mean that the Modernists in the Vatican should give up their political power base, which they will never ever do willingly. The doctrine of Papal [I]Supremacy [/I]proved very useful during the Reformation and Modernism, when heresy was spreading via the lower ranks. But now heresy is spreading via the higher ranks including the Papacy itself, the doctrine is extremely dangerous to Tradition, as we are now seeing again with the persecution of the Tridentine Mass. So, not only to potentially overcome the Schism, but also for the sake of Tradition is it imperative that this doctrine is revisited and reinstituted to something of a medieval Papal [I]Primacy[/I].
