On Thursday afternoon, March 6th, His Holiness Bartholomew I, Patriarch of Constantinople visited Rome’s Pontifical Oriental Institute where he had once studied and completed his doctorate in Canon Law during the 1960’s. The Dean of the Faculty of Eastern Church Studies, Jesuit Fr Edward Farrugia, in an interview said that the visit was indeed significant… “Well of course we are immensely proud to have had the present Ecumenical Patriarch as a past student and he is certainly one of our most famous, if not our most famous alumnus and I think for us it’s a shot in the arm that such an important figure, who is the first primate of the Orthodox East... He certainly has moral authority as a figure who represents something, who represents a big history, a big church. Then I think that it is also significant because it happens at this time, when dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Orthodox Churches who recognise themselves in this Constantinopolitan community is moving ahead, so we think that this is very providential. And I must say how moved he was when I brought him the invitation, and for us it cannot but be a blessing”. Here the speech delivered by the Patriarch: "THEOLOGY, LITURGY AND SILENCE" To see more pictures of the event, click on read more.                                                                    |
