Please Click: Ecumenical Orthodox Patriarch Bartholomew on Reconciliation with Rome "There are Great Expectations" From: Time Magazine His All Holiness Bartholomew, Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome and Ecumenical Patriarch, is "first among equals" of the branches of the Orthodox Church, whose world-wide congregation totals perhaps 200 million believers... Bartholomew, 57, was enthroned in January 1991 as the church's 270th Ecumenical Patriarch.... Time: There has been talk of reunification recently. Are you as keen as Pope John Paul II seems to be? Bartholomew: The dialogue between the Orthodox and the Roman Catholic Churches clearly have as its further aim the union of these two ecclesiastical traditions. This desire has been expressed many times in our mutual exchanges with His Holiness, the Pope of Rome. We reiterated it in our meeting with the Pontiff in Rome in 1995. The point at issue is not whether one or the other will compromise their position, but rather that we should come together on common fundamentals and try to expunge those factors which led to the great expectations that the year 2,000 should be culminated by certain actions by Christian churches. This expectation is directed with particular intensity to the churches of the elder (the Vatican) and the new Rome (Constantinople/Istanbul). |
