Moscow's Latin Catholic Leader Says Union with Orthodox is Deepest Wish
Thursday, 18 February 2010 18:09
CWNews.com - Moscow's Latin Catholic archbishop laid heavy emphasis on respect for the Russian Orthodox faith in an interview with an Italian magazine, Vita e Pensiero. “It is obviously impossible to be Catholics in Russia without deepest respect to the Russian Orthodox Church, without sincerest and ardent wish to unite with her," said Archbishop Paolo Pezzi in the interview, which has now been translated into Russian. Clearly sensitive to Orthodox complaints about Catholic "proselytizing" in Russia, the archbishop said that he sees the goal of Catholic clerics "not as parallel or competing with the mission of the Orthodox Church, as if we were trying to convert more Russians to Catholicism, but as truly ecumenical." Ultimately, he said, all Catholics want to achieve full unity with the Orthodox Church, which represents "part of the richest spiritual tradition of this nation."

No Hiding Allowed
When You will come to earth in glory, O God, * all things will tremble and the river of fire shall flow before Your judgment seat; * and the books will be opened and all hidden things revealed. * Deliver me, from the unquenchable fire * and make me worthy to stand at your right hand, O righteous Judge.
