There are two stories reported at http:www.ewtn.com/vnews/ today, February 17, which relate to things discussed in recent threads. The threads are the one on Partiarch Bartholomew's resistance to a Ukrainian Greek Catholic Patriarchate and the thread on Fr. Taft's comments on the Patriarchate for the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

With this type of visibility, doesn't it seem that the Vatican is signaling that Cardinal Casper is relating to the Moscow Patriarchate the Catholic Communions decision to recognize the reality of Ukrainian Greek Catholic Patriarchate?

If that's so, some of the posters in those threads appear to be gifted with the gift of prescience.

May the Lord hasten the recognition of His Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church as a Patricarchal Church.

Dear Steve,

Or . . . the Vatican has found that the MP is deathly afraid of a UGCC patriarchate and Rome is now willing to overtly use the issue to get the MP to be more open to RC ecumenical overtures.

Don't congratulate anyone until the deed is done, if it will be done.

Otherwise, you run the risk of "hexing" the whole process. smile

Alex
