Publisher's Synopsis
This book is written to defend fellow Orthodox faithful. Roman ecumenists come and tell us that there is complete doctrinal basis for reconcilation between Rome and Orthodoxy. This book pulls off several layers of essential doctrinal difference between Rome and Orthodoxy, where Orthodox cannot rightly compromise, but where Rome asserts common ground that isn't there. Come read this and the closing bombshell about the familiar topic of "My Jesuit Education."
You might (or very well might not) see the author as an ersatz Zen master, or an example of Zen made dumber. A Zen master, as best he understands, gives shocks to try to break the mind of reason, while he is trying to break the mind of Roman ecumenism. If you want to cry "FOUL!" at his statements, that most likely isn't because he is making a confused effort to name a modest asking price for some supposed harmless Orthodox cooperation with Rome's project of ecumenism. It is instead because he is trying to help Orthodox (and maybe Romans) understand that cooperating with Rome's project of ecumenism is highly problematic to Orthodoxy, and involves ripping up Orthodoxy as deeply as decanonizing Thomas Aquinas would rip up Rome.
