But the dialogue is really just for Latins and the patriarchate of Rome -- if Eastern Catholics are meant to be included at all, they are presumed to share the same beliefs as Latin ecclesiology. (Of course, Latins believe that the key points of Latin ecclesiology have already been established as dogma, because of those synods that they claim are ecumenical.) Latins need to realize that this debate is an intramural one and does not pertain to the Church Universal.

The note from Professor De Marco (in Italian).
