Extraordinary Consistory on Ecumenical Dialogue
Pope Benedict XVI is to hold an extraordinary consistory of cardinals later this month to promote ecumenical dialogue with non-Catholic Christians.
The gathering of 202 cardinals from 67 countries will take place on the eve of the consistory on November 24, convened by the Pope to create 23 new cardinals. The debate on ecumenism will be led by Cardinal Walter Kasper, head of the Pontifical Council for Christian Unity.
This should be interesting.

Oh my!
I think that many Orthodox will find ourselves in a most uncomfortable position after the consistory meets. What I mean is--given the general tenor of things ecumenical--at a minimum Orthodox bad will toward Catholic ecumenical overtures (or maybe our willingness to assume bad will on the part of the Catholic Church) will suffer a painful and public blow.
As God will of course, but may God grant us a spirit of reconciliation and that soon.
In Christ,
