Can anyone think of a magic key that would solve the Orthodox-Catholic split?

[QUOTE="Cartographer, post: 1498451, member: 7611"] The Church may not experience a dialectic process but men certainly do. The idea that schisms are misunderstandings rooted in temporal politics seems interesting but I don't know much about it. Saving face or just finding a compromise for the sake of unity doesn't sound all that holy, though. I don't think God needs us to do something for his plan to work, although that doesn't give us a pass on choices we make while doing our own work that is subject to our free will. I suppose we're not forbidden to look for a "magic key", but unity of the Church doesn't seem to be a task we're specifically given to maintain since it will remain intact whether we want it to or not. Definitely an interesting topic. [/QUOTE]
