Ed il sangue versato da questi nostri fratelli per la loro fedeltà a Cristo, valicano la loro appartenenza ad una Chiesa particolare”.

(Andrea Palmieri, Sotto-Segretario del Pontificio Consiglio per la promozione dell’unità dei cristiani) Il 2019 ha visto l’allacciarsi di una fitta trama di relazioni tra la Chiesa cattolica e la Chiesa ortodossa. Le crescenti tensioni esistenti all’interno del mondo ortodosso, legate alla concessione dell’autocefalia alla Chiesa ortodossa ucraina da parte del Patriarcato ecumenico di Costantinopoli lo scorso 6 gennaio, non hanno impedito che si continuassero a sviluppare rapporti bilaterali con ciascuna delle Chiese ortodosse e che il dialogo teologico ufficiale proseguisse il suo cammino.
