Catholic-Ortodox Dialogue Starting Again

Ratko Perić ; Diocese of Mostar

Abstract

The author brieflv reminds of the beginnings and present work
of The World Interfaith Commission for the theological dialogue
betvveen the Catholic Church and Orthodox churches. The course of
the dialogue was under the essential influence of the fali of
communism in Eastern Europe, when Eastern catholic churches
freed themselves from state control and from the imposed acceptance
of the idea that they were a part of the Orthodox Church, and
confirmed their unity with the Roman Holy See. This initiated the
outburst of the Uniatism issue. An agreement on canonical and
ecclesiologic implications was not achieved in Baltimore either. Here
we have a Croatian translation of the Communique on the plenary
session.
