Funnily enough I've been to an Episcopal Church that treated the Eucharist more reverently than some Catholic churches I've been to.

I'm currently in Dublin, and will be setting foot in a Catholic Church tomorrow for a service.

Now, I don't want all of our Western schismatic friends to get their hopes up. I'm attending the Irish state centenary commemoration of the sinking of the Royal Mail Ship Leinster tomorrow in my professional capacity, and before the primary commemoration there's an ecumenical service at the closest church.

But yes, I'm in Ireland and can justifiably say 'that would be an ecumenical matter'.

My life is complete.

Not quite.

He's come very close without actually definitively pulling the autocephaly trigger.

If the Catholics here are going to get upset about Orthosplaining, then let's perhaps pause to consider that the reverse might also be true.
