The first principle of the Ordinariate is then about Christian unity. St. Basil the Great, the Church’s greatest ecumenist, literally expended his life on the work of building bridges between orthodox brethren who shared a common faith, but who had become separated from one another in a Church badly fragmented by heresy and controversy. He taught that the work of Christian unity requires deliberate and ceaseless effort...St. Basil often talked with yearning about the archaia agape, the ancient love of the apostolic community, so rarely seen in the Church of his day. This love, he taught, is a visible sign that the Holy Spirit is indeed present and active, and it is absolutely essential for the health of the Church.

    Mourad,

    No, I didn't know, but I'm also unsure what I can do about it. This is a blogger blog site, so it is part of Google. As for being fraudulent, perhaps Symantec expects fewer links or more original content? But I'm sure people would rather read the news I dig up than my personal, if original, blathering : )
