Watch this incredibly rare look into the secluded life of the monks living on Mount Athos. It is impossible not to be deeply moved by this. I couldn't help thinking, "If only the Orthodox accepted the Pope."
The reporter comments, incorrectly, that the Orthodox Church is the only church that has not changed any of its teaching in 2,000 years. Of course, that is the view of the Orthodox, so I'm not surprised that it was repeated here. That statement was the only issue I had with this phenomenal series. Catholics can learn a lot from their Orthodox brethren when it comes to strict liturgical reverence and the mystical life. How wonderful it would be if East and West were united once again!
