I do pray for the day when we may be one also with the family of God that now lives under the pope. I also HUGELY "amen" Terry's point: what frustrates the visible fulfillment of that prayer is the "massive Roman overlay." What a great term - certainly it is not frustrated by the Gospel purely preached or the Sacraments administered according to it.
