There is a lot of overlap, certainly, but in our age of crazed diet fads it might be prudent to emphasize the real purpose of the fast a bit better. <br /><br />I admit thatI might be projecting a bit from my own circumstances. In my case, eating fish is not penance unless it is lower quality (sardines, canned tuna, and maybe tilapia or pollock). I grew up eating lots of beans and legumes for lent due to family food allergies. Tuna, Salmon, Shark, Mahi Mahi, Orange Roughy, Lobster... these are TREATS for me, not penance.

A re-evaluation of what constitutes penitential fasting is necessary in both the East (where fasting has sometimes devolved to a mere temporary diet) and the West (which takes Lent and equates it to Fish Fridays). Food has changed dramatically since the 4th century and people often get the wrong impression of why we fast.<br /><br />After all, which is truly the penitential option?

They are very eager to have favor with their counterpart Orthodox uniate church and would like to show the Orthodox world that one need not sacrifice one's patrimony to be in Communion with Rome. Occasionally it spills over into contrarianism towards the Latin Church.

(cf. Constantinople I, whose convocation the Roman see opposed and at which it did not attend). As one Orthodox priest put it in a combox response to Archdeacon Chryssavgis' claim that it will be "binding upon all Orthodox" despite lack of participation - yes, it will be, IF it turns out to be a council of Orthodox content and inspiration - i.e. TBD.<br /><br />I also cringe when I see fellow Catholics go all triumphalist about how this is "proof" that the EO need the Petrine ministry. Right - because the Petrine ministry and ultramontanism had nothing to do with the disastrous shape our Roman liturgy and church are in! Right! We don't have much room to boast, and I can sympathize with voices that say, better to have no council than a heterodox one...

Other clergy in charge of organizing this meeting have described it as the Orthodox version of Vatican II.
