>No my priest did not say that. Ecumenism is heresy I challenge you to defend it.
But then what does your priest think about it? He's your teacher and your spiritual father, you know.
I ask this because it sounds like you're just repeating Genuine Orthodox talking points you saw online, rather than something you were taught (by either your godparents or your priest).
Are you a convert? If so, I strongly suggest questioning the implications of what you said (that anyone who prays with a heretic is an apostate), both in the context of what the canons are and what they are for, as well as the behavior of a large part (the majority?) of our clergy today (who, in my experience, are generally fine with praying with non-Chalcedonians, while how fine they are with praying with Catholics depends of the history of their region, and they are usually at least carefully reluctant to pray with Protestants, or at least the Evangelical/Pentecostal type).
