Cardinal Kurt Koch President of Pontifical Council for Christian Unity meets with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill
I’ve written previously on the thawing relationship between the Russian Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, most recently here and here.
Cardinal Kurt Koch, the president of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity, met on March 16 with Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill.
Neither the Vatican nor the Russian Orthodox Church released a detailed report on the meeting, which was held in Moscow. But the Orthodox patriarchate indicated that Kirill had stressed his support for Pope Benedict in the effort to combat secularization, particularly in Europe. The Russian prelate also commented on the positive trend in relations between Rome and Moscow.
