Pope Benedict's speech is an open hand to the Orthodox

Permalink 12:52:01 pm, Categories: Orthodox, Catholic, Islam  

Watch this video clip

It is an interview with dr. Thomas Scheffer, Copenhagen University, on the pope´s speech.

His analysis is to the point that the quoting of a Byzantine emperor who lived 60 years before the Ottoman conquer of Constantinople is an open embrace of the pope towards the Orthodox Church before the pope's visit to Turkey. But not as dr. Scheffer thinks the Greek Orthodox Church, but the Ecumenical Patriarchate?

If inter religious dialogue is really dead I am much more skeptical. It seems to be on the rise at least in ecumenical circles.
