DIALOGUE DOESN'T DISTANCE US FROM TRUTH BUT LEADS US TO WHOLE TRUTH
Vatican City, 28 June 2013 (VIS) - "Your presence is the sign of the profound
bond that unites the Church of Constantinople with the Church of Rome in
faith, in hope, and in charity," Pope Francis said this morning on receiving
the
delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarch, which had arrived in Rome to celebrate
the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul. The tradition of exchanging visits for
the occasions of the respective patronal feasts dates back to 1969. The Pope
emphasized that
"fraternal gathering is an essential part of the journey towards unity."
"The search for unity among Christians is an urgent task-you have said that
'it is not a luxury, but an imperative'-from which, today more than ever, we
cannot prescind. In our world that hungers and thirsts for truth, love, hope,
peace, and unity, our witness demands that we should at last be able to
proclaim, with one voice, the good news of the Gospel and celebrate together
the Divine Mysteries of our new life in Christ. We are well aware that unity
is primarily a gift from
Gift that we must pray for unceasingly, but we all have the task of preparing
the conditions, of cultivating the soil of the heart so that this
extraordinary grace may be received."
Francis praised the Mixed International Commission for Theological Dialogue
between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches'-which is headed by Metropolitan
Ioannis and Cardinal Kurt Koch-fundamental contribution to the search for full
communion.
"The Commission has already produced many common texts and is now studying the
theological and ecclesiological relationships between primacy and synodality
in the life of the Church." In this regard, the Pope commented on the
significance
of, today, "being able to reflect together in truth and charity on these
issues, starting from what we have in common without, however, concealing that
which still separates us. This isn't a theoretical exercise: it demands
in-depth knowledge of
one another's traditions in order to understand them and sometimes also to
learn from them. I am speaking, for example, of the Catholic Church's
reflection on the meaning of episcopal collegiality and the tradition of
synodalit
y that
is so characteristic of the Orthodox Churches."
"It comforts me," he added, "knowing that Catholics and Orthodox share the
same conception of dialogue that doesn't seek a theological minimalism on
which to reach a compromise, but that rather is based on the deepening of the
truth
that Christ has given to his Church and that we, moved by the Holy Spirit,
never cease to understand better. This is why we shouldn't be afraid of
encounter and true dialogue. It doesn't distance us from the truth but rather,
through an exchange of
gifts, leads us, under the guidance of the Spirit of truth, to the whole
truth."
The Holy Father concluded his address to the ecumenical delegation, which
tomorrow will attend a Eucharistic celebration presided by the Pope, by
calling upon Sts. Peter and Paul, patrons of the Church of Rome, and the
Apostle Andrew, patron of the
Church of Constantinople, to intercede "for our faithful and for the needs of
the whole world, especially the poor, the suffering, and those who are
unjustly persecuted for their faith."
