18 February 2010, 14:23It is impossible to be Catholic in Russia without respecting Russian Church – Archbishop Pezzi
Moscow, February 18, Interfax – Head of the Archdiocese of the Holy Virgin in Moscow Archbishop Paolo Pezzi urged faithful Catholics to respect the Russian Orthodox Church.
“It is obviously impossible to be Catholics in Russia without deepest respect to the Russian Orthodox Church, without sincerest and ardent wish to unite with her as she preserves substantial part of the richest spiritual tradition of this nation,” Pezzi said in his article for the Vita e pensiero Italian magazine published by the diocesan bulletin in Russian translation.
According to the Archbishop, “in spite of cultural differences, this tradition is enrooted in faith that almost corresponds to the Catholic faith in its basis.”
Pezzi urges to consider Catholic mission “not as parallel or competing with the mission of the Orthodox Church as if we were trying to convert more Russians to Catholicism, but as truly “ecumenical,” penetrated with desire to carry out and demonstrate today (in forms God grants us) the unity we are to promote in full plenitude.”
