I think there are good, clean and hilarious captions inspired by this.

Thank you much for posting this article.
Just a few weeks ago in fact, the same commission meeting in Belgrade touched upon the fundamental issue of the Petrine primacy.
Do you (or any other Freepers) happen to have any further information about the Belgrade commission meeting referred to here? Again, thank you.

The Patriarch looks a little like Professor Dumbledore.
Cool staff!

You know, the Pope really needs to bring back some of the cool stuff his predecessors discarded . . .
. . . why should the Orthodox out-cool us . . .

Here's a link to comments made by +Met John, the EP's rep to the dialog made some months ago.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/1509010/posts
There have been a few threads about comments by the Russian Orthodox about a dust up at the meeting where Met. John seemed to take the side of Cardinal Kasper on primacy issues and vice versa to the irritation of the Russians. These particular threads never got very far as the most prominent Catholic (he says he's not "Roman") "Orthodox hater" on FR showed up with his poison and the threads sort of disintegrated. You might try a Google search as there was quite a bit of news last September and October about the meeting.

Indeed it is...but as was pointed out by implication, that one has been put in a closet in the Vatican somewhere, Our guys still wear their crowns, as you will see tomorrow during the Divine Liturgy.

Goofy, just like a beehive. Pat wouldn't wear it.

Personally, I dislike to see the Successor of Peter carried around like King Pharaoh.
Humility has its own eloquence.

From the Pages of
Vivificat!Commentary. For me it is always an occasion for great personal joy when the Roman Pontiff meets with the Ecumenical Patriarch. Although I yearn for unity, I know the grave obstacles separating the two Communions and I also know that healing the schism between us will take a miracle.
However, as a Christian, I have learned to expect miracles; there's nothing impossible for God.
I hope that Pope Benedict's visit will bring Catholics and Orthodox closer together and I pray that soon we might be one again, and that healing this original sin of separation may serve to convey a new hope to the world.
