Very sadly, the Divine Liturgy in English at 9-30 am on Sundays at the Holy Family Cathedral, Lower Church, have had to be put on hold. Until the practicalities we cannot use the Lower Church space. Hopefully this will be resolved very soon. Please keep checking in here for details.

Pontifical Council on Orthodox-Catholic Dialogue

The Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity published the following communique on January 26th 2010, following the unhelpful leak by an Italian journalist-blogger of an unadopted document currently under discussion in the Orthodox-Catholic dialogue commission:

The council has learned with disappointment that a media outlet has published a text currently being examined by the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church.

The document published is a draft text consisting of a list of themes to be studied and examined in greater depth, and has been only minimally discussed by the said commission.

In the last meeting of the Joint International Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church, held in Paphos, Cyprus, last October, it was specifically established that the text would not be published until it had been fully and completely examined by the commission.

As yet there is no agreed document and, hence, the text published has no authority or official status.
