Ukraine plays referee between the Pope and the Patriarch of Moscow Over there Russian Orthodoxy has its cornerstone. And over there, there is the most numerous Eastern Catholic population. With John Paul II the two Churches were at loggerheads. With Benedict XVI the turning point. But peace is still far away. by Sandro Magister 10.05.2010 10:51:11
Orthodox – Greek-Catholic dialog and co-operation
His Eminence Cardinal Leonardo Sandri conveyed to His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel the cordial salute of His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI and his confidence in the development of the good relations present between the Romanian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. His Beatitude Patriarch Daniel underlined the traditional relations of friendship and collaboration between the Romanian Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, pointing out the fact that the two Churches have the common duty to strengthen these positive relations in a European society marked by secularism, where Christian co-operation is not a simple fashion of the day, but a moral missionary duty. 09.05.2010 19:52:21

From April 15 to 17, the Catholic Social Institute (Katholisch-Soziales Institut, KSI) is organising the Fourth European Social Week in Bad Honnef on the theme of «Work – Social cohesion – Leadership». At a time when the challenges facing society are no longer being tackled in all countries across the board and the question of immigrant workers is becoming more and more pressing, we have to put all our efforts into meeting the most important challenges in terms of the social make-up of Europe, created by the changes in the jobs market resulting from new business strategies designed to tackle the economic crisis. The Fourth European Social Week, therefore, aims to be a platform for meeting, discussion and reflection and for all those active in the Christian-social sector to work together, looking at and he lping each other with the needs of workers. The specific focuses are the quality of work and the questions of economic ethics, as well as the formulation of a leadership with a social philosophy. Those representatives attending from workers organisation and trades unions are working towards devising appropriate measures and ways to cooperate efficiently within the entire European network. Expected speakers are expected to include, amongst others, Elmar Brok, MEP, Jacques Santer, former President of the European Commission, Bishop Joseph Homeyer, former president of COMECE, Ingrid Sehrbrock, deputy president of the DGB and Józef Niemiec, confederal secretary of ETUC. As a delegate from Ukrainian Greek-Catholic Church will take part Rev. Ihor Shaban, Head of the Ecumenical Commission and the coordinator of the Social Days of UGCC in Ukraine.
