-> ,validPeriod= - Finally - said Pope Francis, greeting patriarch Kirill at the airport in Havana. And he added: - We are brothers. Then he repeated these words several times (ISMAEL FRANCISCO / AP) 1 -> - Finally! - Francis said at the sight of the patriarch. Then several times he repeated: "We are brothers." In the joint declaration signed among others They called on "all parties to the conflict" in Ukraine to work for peace. Reclaimed the fate of Christians persecuted plunged into wars in the Middle East. They called to care for the refugees. The Church at Vatican II (1962-1965) greatly opened up to dialogue with non-Catholic Christians, among which, "sister" role Orthodoxy. The Church does not doubt the legitimacy of either the Orthodox bishops, nor the validity of Orthodox sacraments. Since the 60s popes met with the patriarchs of Constantinople, who have the primacy of honor among the Orthodox hierarchy. Despite the end of the Cold War he not warmed relations with the Orthodox Church of Rome, which barely took on the forces after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Currently, the Patriarch of Moscow and All Russia represents about 130--150 million from 250-270 million Orthodox. John Paul II dreamed of a trip to Russia, but ruled by Patriarch Alexy II of Moscow church was opposed. Especially in the 90s she was afraid that supported by the West, Catholics will massively drag the Russians to the Church, among others, thanks to cultural centers or churchyard katechezom. The Russian Orthodox Church had no money then their conduct. Some Orthodox threatened a repeat of the first decade of the twentieth century., When Catholicism over at least a quarter of a million Russians, and conversions have become a kind of fashion among the Russian intelligentsia. When the Church paid trip of thousands of young Russians Youth Day in Czestochowa in 1991. In patriarchy reportedly panic. No one there was no money for such events, nor the charisma of a Polish pope. These fears were at the storm that erupted when John Paul II created four Catholic dioceses in Russia in 2002. He meant pastoral care for Catholics, but Orthodox accused it of preparing for missionary "invasion". But besides confusion and were deep differences of opinion. John Paul II really cared about the Greek Catholics, especially sharply tępionych Stalin. After the collapse of the Soviet Union the Russian Orthodox Church, to put it mildly, did not accept them with fraternal charity. Disputes erupted about the temples, which in Soviet times transferred to the Orthodox, and now the time has come for their return. Russian hierarchs today argue that Greek Catholics are a thorn in relations with Rome. The Moscow Patriarchate would like to be in the custody of "all Rus' - and this concept began, especially popular at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, make President Vladimir Putin talking about the "Russian world". Ukrainian Uniate is especially painful breach in this "world" under the protection of Moscow, but in Ukraine besides Orthodox parishes recognizing the suzerainty of Moscow are also independent of the Orthodox minority. Putin increasingly supported Orthodoxy, and the Patriarchate of Moscow and All Russia It is working in ever closer alliance with the Kremlin, but Cyril is certainly not completely slow hierarch president. "In the background, a meeting with Cyril Francis is the third participant. It would be naive to think that the sudden willingness of the patriarch to the meeting is not related to the situation of Russia, including the geopolitical moment in Syria," - wrote the Italian watykanista Marco Politi. Also, Russian expert on Kremlin, Gleb Pavlovsky commented that the meetings would not be without a green light or even the involvement of Putin, who in his game with the West Ukraine and Syria could be looking warming between the Orthodox Church and the papacy. "As for Arab spring and Iraq, you could previously imagine that there can happen. It was a partial convergence of analysis between the Holy See and Russia. partial, because I do not exaggerate, Russia has its own interests, "- said Francis in a recent interview with" Corriere della Sera ". Pope in 2013. Loudly opposed - ultimately unrealized - plans for a missile attack US, UK. Britain and France for the installation of Bashar al-Assad in retaliation for his regime's use of chemical weapons against civilians. He ordered St. Peter's Square. Peter prayers under the slogan "No more war", although this continued in Syria for two years. Cyril even as the foreign minister of the Moscow patriarchate has traveled several times to Rome, piloted translations of books by Joseph Ratzinger as the Russian met with Benedict XVI. Therefore, it seemed that when he became patriarch after the death of Alexy II in 2009. Fairly quickly in his new role will meet with Pope Benedict XVI - said of Bari or Ravenna. But even then - as it now seems - he began increasingly to interfere with big politics. It worked until Francis Pope from Argentina nieobciążonemu European divisions between East and West. Schism and reconciliation + Year 1054: Eastern schism. The division between the Christian West and the East matured for several centuries, but the beginning of a split is considered a curse mutual occupancy by representatives of Rome and Constantinople. The last, unsuccessful attempt to restore unity was taken at the Council of Florence in the fifteenth century. 1596: Union of Brest. Part of the Orthodox Church in the Republic recognized the pope as the head of the Church, adopted the provisions of Catholic councils from the period after the eastern schism, but kept its eastern liturgy. This is the beginning of the Uniate Church, which is the Greek Catholic 1964: reconciliation. Pope Paul VI and Patriarch Athenagoras I met in Jerusalem, where he prayed together and signed a declaration to abandon disputes. A year later, they lifted the mutual excommunications of 1054. It was a symbolic gesture, because the curse would not formally apply. 2009: The Patriarch Kirill.
