What is certain is the desire of the Orthodox Church that the Church of Rome parts with its temporal power and dedicates itself totally to its spiritual mission for the transformation of the world.

Can anyone explain to me what is meant by this statement? It is a great interview, but I'm a little confused by this.

Likely he means the Church of Rome’s claim that the pope has ordinary and immediate local jurisdiction over the entire Church.
