RELICS MAY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT KAZAN ICON COULDN'T
from Catholic World News:
The leader of the Orthodox world made his comment after receiving the relics of Sts. John Chrysostom and Gregory Nazianzen, both doctors of the Church and bishops of Constantinople. He said that the Pope's willingness to return the relics to Constantinople was "a very important step toward full unity between our two churches." And he added that the gesture would be "very much appreciated by the ecumenical Patriarchate and by all of Orthodox world."
