Abstract
The question of primacy of the Petrine office has always
been topical and challenging for all, especially for ecumenical
theologians, but very sensitive and controversial. Here the issue is
approached only from the Catholic-Orthodox perspective with an
emphasis on recent trends. The author starts from their common
views on primacy, presenting them from the Catholic side as the
Petrine and from the Orthodox side as the Johannian model of
primacy, and, after their biblical foundation and ecclesiasticaldogmatic
interpretation, attempts to highlight the possibility of
their further and deeper rapprochement and permeation based
on the guidelines of the Second Vatican Council and the so
called Ravenna Document. The models presented have their
specific theological emphases and different interpretations, but
there is still a lot of space for deeper theological congruence as a
prerequisite for a possible theological compromise on the issue of
the Petrine primacy. The author hands over these thoughts to our
public as an incentive to further seeking a common view on the
important issue of Catholic-Orthodox rapprochement.
