Rome and Constantinople are still separated but Pope Leo XIV has made clear that restoring full Christian unity with the Orthodox is one of the goals he wants to pursue.

Speaking to a delegation from the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, Leo XIV said:

“I assure you of my desire to persevere in the effort to restore full visible communion between our Churches.”

The Pope stressed that such unity cannot simply be imposed. It must come through prayer, respectful dialogue, fidelity to the truth and genuine reconciliation between Christians whose Churches share the Apostolic faith, the sacraments and almost two millennia of history.

And the commitment has continued. In June 2026, Leo again welcomed representatives of Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew and spoke of their “common desire to make progress on the path towards full unity amongst all Christians.”

Catholics and Eastern Orthodox remain divided on serious questions, and “full visible communion” has not yet been achieved. But both Rome and Constantinople continue to speak openly of overcoming a separation that has endured for centuries.

The goal is not to erase the ancient Eastern traditions or make every Christian identical.

It is to heal division and restore communion in the one Church of Jesus Christ.

“That they may all be one.” John 17,21 ✝️☦️

Like they do in Pakistan, Lebanon and Palestine, tell me another one.

Pope Leo said Christians and Muslims can live together peacefully, respect one another and become friends despite their religious differences.

Reflecting on his meetings with Muslims in Turkey and Lebanon, the Pope said their conversations focused on peace and respect for people of different faiths. He pointed to Lebanon as an example of a society where Christianity and Islam “are both present and are respected.”

The Pope recalled Christians and Muslims helping one another after their villages were destroyed, showing that the two communities “can come together and work together.” He urged believers in Europe and North America to be “a little less fearful” and instead promote “authentic dialogue and respect.”

Pope Leo said he hopes to continue “building bridges between the Christian world and the Muslim world,” emphasizing that friendship and peaceful coexistence are possible.

Of course it’s not idolatry, it’s gross idolatry

Catholics venerating relics like St. Agatha's skull are not committing "idolatry," but honor the saints and draw closer to God

Protestants that call it "witchcraft" ignore Scripture and 2,000 years of Church teaching.
