Our Pope and the Orthodox Church - 04/03/05 05:45 PM
WHAT IS BETTER - A KID IN A JAIL OR A KID BEING CATHOLIC????
The pope did a big progress in the relations with other religions, especially Jews. The relatively low number od attachs against Christians and Catholics in Islam countries is also partly attributed to the fact that this pope was respected in the Muslim countries.
One of the dark holes in this relations is the Orthodox church.
It seems that the hierarchy of the church is just terribly afraid of losing to Catholics.
The Catholic church tries to do a work at the bottom - they take care of poor kids and orphans - Orthodox - instead of trying to do something to fight poverty - .... accuses Catholic church of covrerting them to Catholicism.
I wish - that the Orthodoxes were doing something for these kids instead of just leaving them alone and not letting catholics to do anything for them!!!
