” “On Wednesday 7th November, at the general audience from Saint Peter’s Square, Pope Benedict XVI greeted the archbishop Innocent of Chersonèse, ordinary of the parishes of the Patriarchate of Moscow in Western Europe.” “The archbishop gave the Pope the French translation of the text “Fundamentals of the Social Doctrine” of the Russian Orthodox Church, which has recently been published, and the latest issue of the "Messenger of the Russian Orthodox Church" about the recent visit of Patriarch Alexius II of Moscow and all Russia. This was written on “Orthodoxie”, the Orthodox information website in French, which relays a release from the Russian Orthodox Church in Western Europe. "The Pope reads the release asked archbishop Innocent to give his regards to the Patriarch Alexius and expressed the wish that the French edition of the social doctrine of the Russian Orthodox Church may make a contribution to the joint proclamation of the faith of Catholic and Orthodox devotees and to the joint testimony of the values of the Gospel". Also last Wednesday, the Orthodox archbishop, as he was visiting Rome, met cardinal Walter Kasper, president of the Papal Council for the Unity of Christians.” “
