"The relations with the bishops of the Greek Catholic Church are good", and problems about property can be solved in the future. This was stated by archbishop Nifon of Tirgoviste (Romania), president of Aidrom, an ecumenical association of the Churches of Romania (Orthodox, Lutheran, Armenian but not Catholic). In explaining to the press, this morning, why this distance, the archbishop recalled that for years in the eastern countries the Churches have been trying to solve the problem of property. "There are deep conflicts" about this issue, also caused by the differing interpretations of the canon law. Therefore highlighted the archbishop , "our misunderstandings do not concern the doctrine, but property". "There have been many attempts to solve them. The Romanian government has been involved too. However, we are reassured by the fact the relations with the bishops of the Greek Catholic Church are good, and I am sure these problems can be solved as well". Then archbishop Nifon wanted to "destroy" the impression that "in Romania there is no big ecumenical work. Of course, not all priests, devotees and theologians are enthusiastic about ecumenical work", but it is also true that the Orthodox Church of Romania "is a member of the Kek, of several ecumenical bodies, and has opened some official negotiations”.
