Ecumenical Patriarch His All-Holiness Bartholomew I has declared that
the upcoming visit of Pope Benedict XVI to Turkey will help normalize
the relations between the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.

According to the Turkish NTV, the Greek Patriarch said that the Pope’s
visit is a good chance for normalization of relations between the
Orthodox and the Catholics and to reinforcement of the opportunities
to live in peace with non-Christians. Noting that the main reason of
the Pope’s visit is the improvement of relations between Catholic and
Orthodox Churches, the Greek Patriarch said that as religious leaders
they are obliged to work to make people understand the opportunities
of preventing calashes and solving the discrepancies in a peaceful way.
