Throughout its history, the Catholic Church has taken actions in relation to Orthodoxy that “have little or nothing in common with Jesus and the Gospel,” Pope Francis said about this, writes foma.ru.

– With shame I admit – in relation to the Catholic Church – that actions and decisions that have little or nothing in common with Jesus and the Gospel, dictated primarily by the desire for profit and power, have weakened communion, – said the pontiff on December 4, 2021 in Athens at a meeting with Archbishop Jerome of Athens and All Greece.

According to the head of the Roman Catholic Church, only the Holy Spirit can help Orthodox and Catholics in the matter of rapprochement and creation, and not separation.
