THE KISS OF PEACE BETWEEN POPE PAUL VI & PATRIARCH ATHENAGORAS

Commemorating the first meet up of the Two Heads of this Christian Churches, namely that of  His Holiness Pope Paul VI and His All Holiness Patriarch Athenagoras here in the Vatican, the first one since the Schism in 1054. It is not the only time they have meet, prior to their first meeting in 1964 at the Papal Visit in Jerusalem. At the same time both lifted the Controversial Excommunications decrees of Cardinal Humbert and Patriarch Michael Cerularius. Since then it Improves the relation between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches

"In effect, this unity bestowed by the Holy Spirit does not merely consist in the gathering of people as a collection of individuals. It is a unity constituted by the bonds of the profession of faith, the sacraments and hierarchical communion. The faithful are one because, in the Spirit, they are incommunion with the Son and, in him, share in his communion with the Father: "Our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ" (1 Jn 1:3). For the Catholic Church, then, thecommunion of Christians is none other than the manifestation in them of the grace by which God makes them sharers in his own communion, which is his eternal life. Christ's words "that they may be one" are thus his prayer to the Father that the Father's plan may be fully accomplished, in such a way that everyone may clearly see "what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things" (Eph 3:9). To believe in Christ means to desire unity; to desire unity means to desire the Church; to desire the Church means to desire the communion of grace which corresponds to the Father's plan from all eternity. Such is the meaning of Christ's prayer: "Ut unum sint". - Papal Encyclical UT UNUM SINT, His Holiness Blessed Pope John Paul II
