Although neither of these Churches are in communion with Rome, it\u2019s still very sad to see something, which appears to me as a glorified pissing match, turn into an issue considered so serious that communion with one another is broken. This is an issue which should concern us all. Any break in the unity of the Church is sad, but we are increacingly living in a world where jurisdictional lines between Churches are becoming frayed, complicated and overlapping. If there is any hope of finding a united Church (between Catholics and Orthodox in particular) we will need to develop new approaches to settling these very kinds of arguments. They are the hidden \u201cissue\u201d which keeps us apart. Jurisdictional disputes cause more division, suspicion, and distrust among ecclesial bodies than any of the issues we generaly argue about (the Papacy, filioque, essence &amp; energies, et al.)
