HOLY FATHER RECALLS ECUMENICAL INITIATIVES OF PATRIARCH ATHENAGORAS, AND OF
POPES JOHN XXIII AND PAUL VI
Vatican City, 28 June 2012 (VIS) - This morning in the Vatican, in a
traditional meeting for the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul Apostles,
Benedict XVI received a delegation sent by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I.
The Church of Rome and the
Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople traditionally exchange visits for
the feasts of their respective patrons.
The delegation, which delivered a message to the Holy Father on behalf of the
Patriarch, was made up of His Eminence Emmanuel (Adenakis), metropolitan of
France and director of the office of the Orthodox Church to the European
Union; His Grace Ilias
Katre, bishop of Philomelion, U.S.A., and Rev. Paisios Kokkinakis of the Holy
Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
Benedict XVI told the group that the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul "gives
us an opportunity to thank the Lord for the extraordinary works He has
achieved and continues to achieve through the Apostles in the life of the
Church. Their preaching, sealed
by the witness of martyrdom, is the solid and durable base upon which the
Church rests. By remaining faithful to the deposit of faith they have handed
down to us, we discover our own shared roots".
"In our meeting - as we entrust to the intercession of the glorious Apostles
and Martyrs Peter and Paul our prayer that the Lord ... may soon grant us that
blessed day in which we can share the Eucharistic bread - we thank God for the
journey of peace
and reconciliation He has caused us to travel together. This year marks the
fiftieth anniversary of Vatican Council II. ... It was during that Council -
attended, as you well know, by certain representatives of the Ecumenical
Patriarchate as fraternal
delegates - that a new and important phase in relations between our Churches
began. Let us praise the Lord above all for the rediscovery of the profound
brotherhood which unites us, and for the distance covered over these years by
the Joint Commission
for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox
Churches, also in the hope that it will continue to progress in the current
phase".
"As we remember the anniversary of Vatican Council II, I think it right to
recall the person and works of the unforgettable Ecumenical Patriarch
Athenagoras who, together with Blessed John XXIII and Servant of God Paul VI,
moved by that passion for
Church unity which arises from faith in Christ the Lord, promoted important
initiatives which paved the way to renewed relations between the Ecumenical
Patriarchate and the Catholic Church. I am profoundly glad that His Holiness
Bartholomew I, with
renewed faithfulness and fruitful creativity, is continuing along the path
laid down by his predecessors Athenagoras and Demetrios, and is known
throughout the world for his openness to dialogue among Christians and his
commitment to announcing the
Gospel in the modern world", the Holy Father concluded.
