Benedict Says He wants Unity Faster · October 27, 2008
On October 6, 2008, Zenit, a Vatican news agency, reported that Benedict XVI sent a personal message to Russian Orthodox Patriarch Alexy II saying that modern times call for a hastening of the journey toward Christian unity. “Our times, marked so often by conflict and grief,” said the Pope through his emissary, “make it even more necessary to hasten the journey toward the full unity of all the disciples of Christ, so that the joyous message of salvation may be spread to all humanity.”
Notice that the Pope was not just speaking of the Russian Orthodox Church. He is referring to all churches in full unity with Rome.
“On the path to unity,” said bishop Vincenzo Paglia of Terni, president of the Italian bishops’ ecumenism commission, “meetings between experts are no longer sufficient. Rather, ecumenism is a coming together of the Churches.”
It is logical for the RC church to start with healing the rift with the Eastern Orthodox group & then move on to the Protestants that broke away later.

It comes as no suprise that the Pope would look unto Russia for “Church Unity”, for one thing the orthodox Church there has been seperated from the RC church and two, Russia is still considered quite a power in the world. The Vatican is building his Army while simultaneously fowarding his mesage of ecumenism. Jesus is Coming Soon!
