The part I find interesting is:

Father Taft advocated a system of "ecumenical scholarship and theology"—a new way to study Christian tradition that seeks to reconcile and unite, rather than to confute and dominate. To accomplish this, the Catholic and Orthodox churches must recognize one another as historic apostolic sister churches, he said. That's going to fly like a lead balloon in much - if not most - of the EO world. And I think the theological differences are much more important than he admits. However, despite that, his points about offensive actions do have merit.
