Wie ist denn hier das Meinungsbild zur Enzyklika des Ökumenischen Patriarchates?
Hier der ganze Text, daraus ein interessanter Auszug:
These dialogues, together with every effort for peaceful and fraternal relations of the Orthodox Church with other Christians, are unfortunately challenged today in an unacceptably fanatical way – at least by the standards of a genuinely Orthodox ethos – by certain circles that exclusively claim for themselves the title of zealot and defender of Orthodoxy. As if all the Patriarchs and Sacred Synods of the Orthodox Churches throughout the world, who unanimously decided on and continue to support these dialogues, were not Orthodox. Yet, these opponents of every effort for the restoration of unity among Christians raise themselves above Episcopal Synods of the Church to the dangerous point of creating schisms within the Church.
In their polemical argumentation, these critics of the restoration of unity among Christians do not even hesitate to distort reality in order to deceive and arouse the faithful. Thus, they are silent about the fact that theological dialogues are conducted by unanimous decision of all Orthodox Churches, instead attacking the Ecumenical Patriarchate alone. They disseminate false rumors that union between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches is imminent, while they know well that the differences discussed in these theological dialogues remain numerous and require lengthy debate; moreover, union is not decided by theological commissions but by Church Synods. They assert that the Pope will supposedly subjugate the Orthodox, because they latter submit to dialogue with the Roman Catholics! They condemn those who conduct these dialogues as allegedly “heretics” and “traitors” of Orthodoxy, purely and simply because they converse with non-Orthodox, with whom they share the treasure and truth of our Orthodox faith. They speak condescendingly of every effort for reconciliation among divided Christians and restoration of their unity as purportedly being “the pan-heresy of ecumenism” without providing the slightest evidence that, in its contacts with non-Orthodox, the Orthodox Church has abandoned or denied the doctrines of the Ecumenical Councils and of the Church Fathers.
Beloved children in the Lord, Orthodoxy has no need of either fanaticism or bigotry to protect itself. Whoever believes that Orthodoxy has the truth does not fear dialogue, because truth has never been endangered by dialogue. By contrast, when in our day all people strive to resolve their differences through dialogue, Orthodoxy cannot proceed with intolerance and extremism. You should have utmost confidence in your Mother Church. For the Mother Church has over the ages preserved and transmitted Orthodoxy even to other nations. And today, the Mother Church is struggling amid difficult circumstances to maintain Orthodoxy vibrant and venerable throughout the world.
)...Wenn ich aber jetzt in das (orthodoxe) Forum reinschaue, dann muss ich schon sagen, Respekt! Was Glaubt ihr, was ich mir schon alles von einigen anderen Orthodoxen anhören musste....? Wie gesagt, hätte ich das an mir herankommen lassen....wäre ich nicht mehr dort! Ich habe aber von dort sehr viel Liebe erfahren und erfahre diese Liebe immer noch. Dies empfand ich aber nicht als das Problem, sondern eher die Nationale Komponente in Deutschland. Ich komme aus einer überwiegend deutschsprachigen Familie mit polnischen Wurzeln und es war für mich Anfangs schwer in der serbischen Kirche (Da ich dort getauft [Punkt]). Die Sprache, die nationale zugehörigkeit waren ein Problem...Bei mir wird es jetzt sogar noch Komplizierter, da ich vor einem Wechsel in die georgische Jurisdikation stehe... Liebe Anneke, höre nicht auf die Deppen aus den Foren (Hier ebenfalls 
) sondern was für dich zählt, ist dein Gang in die Russische kirche und das Gespräch mit dem Russischen Priester und sonst nix...
