Yesterday, I shared a post from Fr Hunwicke, Ecclesial Disorders, in which he said,
The other day, I read on the internet about an Orthodox Metropolitan, Stylianos of Australia, who, I gathered, demanded that if the Catholic Church wished to have an honest and respectful dialogue with Orthodoxy it must first "dissolve the Uniate bodies".
Assuming that he was referring to a reaction to Traditionis Custodes, I also assumed it was recent. However, a sharp-eyed reader informed me that Metropolitan Stylianos died almost three years ago.
Therefore I retract my statement,
Now that Francis claims the power to suppress ancient Rites, an Orthodox Metropolitan is calling on him to suppress the Eastern Catholic Churches.
It was not a reaction to the motu proprio, just garden variety Orthodox polemics.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
