Metropolitan Hilarion confirms “historic meeting” is on the near future agenda

It becomes very clear that a Russian Patriarchate is only waiting for the “right time” to bring forth the “well prepared” for, “historic moment”. When might this be? Maybe when the whole world is in complete chaos due to widespread economic collapse – then the urgency of unity in face of iniquity (financial) may far outbalance any “technical issues”.

“Now such a meeting is getting closer every day but it must be well prepared,” Metropolitan Hilarion, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church’s foreign relations department, said in an interview with Italy’s Corriere della Sera newspaper.

“If such a meeting does take place, it will be historic in nature, therefore the process of preparing key issues relating to bilateral relations between our churches should be thoroughly tackled so that the meeting would be fruitful to the utmost instead of being a purely protocol event.”
