La figura di S. Nicola ha un grande ruolo nelle relazioni interreligiose perché è il Santo più venerato nell’Ortodossia, e specialmente nel mondo slavo. E’ auspicabile pertanto non solo una restituzione della sua festa liturgica a memoria obbligatoria, ma anche che si proceda eventualmente alla sua proclamazione quale patrono dell’ecumenismo cattolico-ortodosso.

The ecological crisis is nowadays the most urgent problem facing
humanity. It is a complex threat, which puts at risk not only a part of

The intra-Orthodox disputes over the possible recognition of an
independent Ukrainian Orthodox Church are far from over. The
patriarchates of Moscow and Constantinople explain their reasons. While
the Pope, “the Catholic Churches should not interfere in the internal
affairs of the Russian Orthodox Church, not even in political matters”

“It is my prayerful
hope that there will be increased opportunities for us Catholics and
Orthodox at all levels to work together, pray together and proclaim
together the one Gospel of Jesus Christ received from the apostolic
preaching, in order to experience ever more fully in our shared journey
the unity that by God’s grace already joins us”. Pope Francis said this
at the end of his address to the delegation from the Ecumenical
Patriarchate of Constantinople received in audience today on the eve of
the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul.

History exists as much in our imaginations as in the archeology of
the past, and the potency of the imaginative depends upon our ability to
recreate sensory or visceral experiences.

message of greetings to the General Secretary of the World Council of
Churches and members of the Central Committee who had assembled to hold a
regular session dedicated to the 70th anniversary of establishment of
the World Council of Church. The session is taking place in Geneva on

Over the centuries the notion of a fall of humanity from a state of primeval bliss and communion with God has been, faute de mieux,
a convenient theological coat-rack to hang such important Christian
doctrines as the origin of evil and death, original sin, human moral
weakness, the Incarnation of Christ and baptismal theology.
