O Mary Magdalene, Paschal messenger and Apostle to the Apostles; Thy weeping in the garden hath been turned to joy, and thy myrrh hath become a holy chrism: Pray for us, that we also might encounter and trust in the Risen Christ, who maketh the tomb a bridal chamber for his Church, and hast taken away the sins of the world. Amen.

Good point. So then, which religion(i.e. 'person') is the true one? Ericism or Joshism? Kidding!
Ericism, of course....Die, heretic!
At the Fourth Ecumenical Council, though rarely cited by historians (but we Orthodox have passed this down orally), the Byzantine Emperor stood before the raging factions and in a loud voice declared: "Now now, boys! No schism games! Let's just all shake hands and play nice. Make up, and share a nice large, warm chalice of shut the fanatic up!" Okay, it loses something in the translation.
I love love love the St. John of the Cross quote. Love.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't think of you when I read it! :)
