Cardinal and Metropolitan Show Will for Unity at Rimini Meeting
ROME, AUG. 24, 2010 (Zenit.org).- High-ranking representatives of the Catholic and Russian Orthodox Churches embraced on Monday in a moment reflecting a will for unity between the two Churches.
A photo of the embrace between Cardinal Peter Erdo and Metropolitan Filaret was printed with the title "Europe's Brothers."
The embrace between the two high-level representatives was a highlight of the 31st Meeting for Friendship Among Peoples, an annual event sponsored by the Catholic Communion and Liberation Movement in Rimini, Italy.
The cardinal and metropolitan made their embrace of unity as they joined in a debate on the topic "Can An Educated Man, a European of Our Days, Actually Believe in the Divinity of the Son of God, Jesus Christ?"

I for one would love to see the Russian Orthodox reconcile with Rome and renounce the errors they hold. I suppose they could keep the Divine Liturgy they celebrate in the manner that the Eastern Catholic Churches celebrate theirs but are in union with the See of Peter. They have much more in common with us Catholics than Protestants do. Maybe it's just pride that stands in the way for them.
