Is reunification in sight in the near future? Western heretic here.

Pope Francis acknowledges the Orthodox Patriarchs as his brothers, which seems to be even more significant than Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras lifting the mutual excommunications or Bl. John Paul II saying "Saint Gregory Palamas." Does this sense of brotherhood mean that reunification could be sooner than expected in the past?

I know top-down reunification has meant nothing in the the past, but the Orthodox Christians I've encountered are hoping to reunite too.

^(Just to be totally selfish about it, I like the Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom better than either form of the Roman Rite, so we better get back together for the sake of good liturgy.)
