Pope Francis Russian-Orthodox Must Not Become Catholichttps://gloria.tv/article/QreU7Z7XnPj344CMtvhU8x7WH
During a May 30 meeting with a delegation of the Russian Patriarchate of Moscow, Pope Francis stressed that he doesnt want Russian Orthodox to be become Catholics, We will never allow ourselves to do this, I do not want it.
Francis insisted that in Moscow - in Russia - there is only one patriarchate: yours. We will not have another one.

OK, I get the first one. He's the boss. He doesn't want another one and he doesn't want to share.

Believe very different things about communion. It seems reasonable that people from other faiths are automatically allowed to jump into other people's faiths without converting.
I find the second one to be completely reasonable.
And the language is very strange...the spouse is a protestant, but "affirms the faith of the Catholic Church"?
What's that even mean?

I realize it's the principal of the matter, but if she really wants to eat the blandest cracker man has ever created, all she needs to do is get in line. It's not like they card you or demand the secret Catholic handshake.
