Aleksij II: “Orthodox and Catholics together against secularisation”

[Khephra]

Moscow (AsiaNews) – In his meeting with the Vatican delegation yesterday during the handover ceremony of the Icon of Kazan the Orthodox Patriarch of Moscow Aleksij II said that “Orthodox and Catholics can and must cooperate” to deal with the problems that beset Russian society.

In delivering the papal gift to the Russian Church, the Vatican delegation brought a message in which the Pope calls the icon of Kazan “a symbol of the unity of the followers of Christ”.

Aleksij II received privately Card. Walter Kasper, head of the Vatican delegation, Card. Edgar T. McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington, and the papal nuncio Antonio Mennini. He told the Vatican envoys that he would shortly respond to the Pope’s message.

The Patriarch also told his guests that in Russia Orthodox and Catholic Christians “should cooperate fruitfully <. . .> to resist the secularisation of society and stand against totalitarian sects which try to catch people in their networks thus damaging their soul.”

they fear women and women's blood. They will do anything to try to keep them under their control. Many women go right along with it--they are women's worst enemies because of their religious beliefs, also.
