"We seek not conquest but the return of our brethren, whose separation from us is tearing us apart." St. Gregory Nazianzus
"We are unchanged; we are still the same as we were in the eighth century, before the West had rudely spurned its Eastern brethren. Let us be brought to the test. Oh that you could only consent to be again what you were at that time when we were united by Unity of Faith and communion of spiritual love and prayer!" Alexis Khomiakov
"We seek and we pray for our return to that time when, being united, we spoke the same things and there was no schism between us." St Mark of Ephesus
"Outside the Church there is no salvation." St. Cyprian of Carthage

I see you quote my main man Cyprian. Much of his talk about unity revolved around the chair of Peter. What will have to happen for Romans to be united with Orthodox? I really want to know, and I think I have been sheltered from the real answer.
Sincerely,
A Roman Schismatic :)
When St. Cyprian uses that phrase, he says all bishops sit on the chair of Peter...
