Pope Francis: Young people ‘can break the chains of antagonism’ between Catholics, Orthodox

[Michie]

Pope Francis has placed in young people his hope that Catholics and Orthodox may be “united in diversity” and “break the chains” of antagonism, misunderstanding, and prejudice that have kept them prisoners for centuries.

In a Thursday audience, the Holy Father received the director-general of the Apostolikí Diakonía of the Orthodox Church of Greece, Metropolitan Agathangelos, and a delegation from the Theological College of Athens.

The Apostolikí Diakonía is the official publishing house and missionary arm of the Orthodox Christian Church of Greece. Since 1936 it has published hundreds of books on Christian theology and tradition, Orthodox spirituality, and biblical studies.

At the beginning of his talk given at the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican, the Holy Father expressed his gratitude for the collaboration between Apostolikí Diakonía and the Dicastery for the Promotion of Christian Unity.

Well, I am young, and I like all Christians, but try to avoid those who believe the doctrines below. Orthodox Christians do not fall under the 7 false doctrines below.

*For instance Number 2, salvation by works only, when faith comes first, then works. Yes, I am a Catholic.

I don’t think ‘youth’ has all that much to do with it. More would be not adding any NEW roadblocks in the path of unity. Like the Fiducia supplicans roadblock that ended dialogue between Catholics and the Oriental Orthodox. So no new roadblocks and soldier on towards a unity that might come in a hundred years or so.
