"There’s hope that Benedict XVI and Alexius II may meet within one year". It was said this morning to SIR by card. Walter Kasper, president of the Papal Council for the Unity of Christians, during the ceremony for the awarding of the honorary degree in missiology by the Pontificia Università Urbaniana to the Blessed Chrysostomos II, primate of the Orthodox Church of Cyprus. "It will largely depend added card. Kasper on some external circumstances and on the internal situation of the Russian Church. The Pope would like to have this meeting, and Alexius II too is open to that. No one is against the meeting, not even the Orthodox believers".
