September 16, 2016

The Joint Commission for Theological Dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church began an eight-day meeting on September 15.

The meeting, hosted by the Archdiocese of Chieti-Vasto, is devoted to the commission’s newest draft document, “Towards a common understanding of Synodality and Primacy in service to the Unity of the Church.”

According to the Holy See Press Office, participants will examine whether the draft “adequately reflects the currently existing consensus on the delicate question” or whether additional work on the draft is needed.
