Moscow, June 8, Interfax - Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia said that his meeting with Pope Francis in Havana served to further the constructive dialogue between the Russian Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.
“I must say that since that meeting our bilateral relations have become more intense,” Patriarch Kirill said at a meeting with the ambassadors of the Latin American and Caribbean countries in Moscow on Thursday.
Today differences exist, including theological ones, between the Orthodox and the Catholics, the patriarch said, while expressing his support for the theological dialogue between the two Churches.
“We are not inclined to minimize the existing differences, but we also understand that the Christians, especially in Latin America, have the potential for such cooperation which is capable of galvanizing Christian forces to tackle the many issues worrying the humankind today,” the Russian church leader said.
Since you are here…
…we do have a small request. More and more people visit Orthodoxy and the World website.
However, resources for editorial are scarce.
In comparison to some mass media, we do not make paid subscription.
It is our deepest belief that preaching Christ for money is wrong.
Having said that, Pravmir provides daily articles from an autonomous news service,
weekly wall newspaper for churches, lectorium, photos, videos, hosting and servers.
Editors and translators work together towards one goal: to make our four websites possible -
Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru and Pravmir.com. Therefore our request for help is understandable.
For example, 5 euros a month is it a lot or little?
A cup of coffee?
It is not that much for a family budget, but it is a significant amount for Pravmir.
If everyone reading Pravmir could donate 5 euros a month,
they would contribute greatly to our ability to spread the word of Christ,
Orthodoxy, life's purpose, family and society.
