The Archbishop of America recalls the visit of the former Pontiff in 2006 to the Ecumenical Patriarchate, which he characterizes as “a milestone in our ecumenical journey towards unity”.

As we pray for the repose of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, we remember his 2006 visit to the Patriarchate of Constantinople, a milestone on our ecumenical journey to unity. A distinguished theologian, he was dedicated to dialogue with the Orthodox Church. May his memory be eternal. pic.twitter.com/4bn2XmsKse
