ARCHBISHOP CLEMENT RECEIVES A REPRESENTATIVE OF VATICAN

Archbishop Clement of Kaluga and Borovsk, vice-chairman of Department for External Church Relations of The the Moscow Patriarchate, received on February 6, 2002, the Representative of the Holy See in the Russian Federation, Archbishop Giorgio Zur, at the latter’s request.

The diplomatic representative conveyed official information concerning the practical steps that Vatican plans to take to change fundamentally the canonical order of the Catholic Church in Russia.

It was stated on the part of The the Moscow Patriarchate that the actions planned by the Vatican represented violations of the canonical principles and norms of interchurch relations. Such actions will constitute serious obstacles for the development of dialogue between the two Churches.
