"Can the Catholic Church regain her former splendor? Yes, perhaps, I don’t know.
It would be good if she moved away definitively from Protestantism
and drew closer to Orthodoxy. Unity would be the best solution, but it
would not be easy. The question of the Filioque could easily be resolved by competent theologians. ... Basically, it amounts to this: The Catholic Church, in the course of its
history, has granted much too much importance to reason (aggravated
over the centuries, probably, under the influence of Protestantism). Man
is a being of reason: That’s true, from time to time. But he is above
all a being of flesh, and of emotion. It would be good not to forget
that."
