Call for Full Communion Between Catholic and Orthodox | October 10, 2007

This is from the Vatican News Service. Who knows what to expect here, but if the Holy Father asks us to pray for full communion between Catholics and Orthodox, sincere believers in the ideal of greater interreligious cooperation should do just that.

VATICAN CITY, OCT 10, 2007 (VIS) - At the end of today's general audience in St. Peter's Square, the Pope recalled how "the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between Catholics and Orthodox is currently holding its 10th plenary assembly in Ravenna, Italy, where it is deliberating upon a theological subject of particular ecumenical interest: the ecclesiological and canonical consequences of the sacramental nature of the Church - ecclesial communion, conciliarity and authority."

"I ask you to join me in my prayer," said the Holy Father, "that this
important gathering may help us to progress towards full communion
between Catholics and Orthodox, and that we may soon be able to share
the one chalice of the Lord."
