LIBRI: PUBBLICATO “MISSIONE CHE PASSIONE!”. PATRIARCA BARTOLOMEO, “LO SPIRITO SANTO VIVIFICA IL DIALOGO TEOLOGICO VERSO LA META COMUNE”

“La storia ha posto davanti a noi delle nuove sfide. I nuovi fondamentalisti non guardano alla persona come ortodosso o cattolico o altro, ma guardano al cristiano. Ed il sangue versato da questi nostri fratelli per la loro fedeltà a Cristo, valicano la loro appartenenza ad una Chiesa particolare”.

LE RELAZIONI TRA CHIESA CATTOLICA E CHIESA ORTODOSSA. DIALOGO CHE CONTINUA

(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.
