The survey would have been more interesting if there had been open-ended questions, probing WHY respondents gave the answers they gave. E.g., what is it about Catholics that Orthodox laity don't like?

Also, most Americans are not in a position to understand where those objections come from, even to having a RC person marry into one's family (or vice versa).

This conversation doesn't take place on a doctrinal level anyway. There's lots of bad history, and RCs have more often been the ones to behave badly, starting in 1204 CE if not earlier.

There may be hope, not for full reunion, but for a not mistrustful renewal of acquaintance. Recent popes have spoken of the acceptance of the Orthodox date for Easter, which probably most RCs wouldn't mind. Orthodox are already welcome to receive Communion in RC churches; it would be great to negotiate a return deal.

But then, the Orthodox still look awfully backward on so many issues, e.g. scripture studies. RCs do NOT want to be bound to that!
