When Jesus Christ speaks, is it the Son who speaks or a human nature? Are we dealing with some modern, weaker version of Nestorianism?

Chiesa: The Few Big Things That Francis and Kirill Didn’t Say To Each Other In Havana by Sandro Magister

Not only do the Orthodox not recognize the Catholic sacraments as valid, but they call into doubt whether the Church of Rome is a true Church. They accuse it of having corrupted the purity and integrity of the faith, of which they are the sole custodians. The analysis of an expert
