Bless, Father Sergius!
Yes, and Patriarch Joseph the Hieroconfessor even had an icon of St Thomas Aquinas written for that Cathedral . . .
I heard that he specialized in the theology of the Procession of the Spirit from the Son ... can you elucidate?
Kissing your right hand, I again implore your blessing,
Alex

Let's not forget that there are Italo-Albanian Greek Catholic parishes throughout Italy. I know for a fact that there is one such church in Milan. It is not a parish, mainly because in Milan there are many orthodox immigrates (mainly from Rumenia), and there is not the will to make proselitism. So it is simply a quite-hidden "cultural association". Some posts above I've posted a photo.

The Lateran basilica is of course the base to the Latin bishop of Rome.
The Vatican basilica (S.Peter) was once the base of the Latin Patriach of Costantinople: but this title was abolished in 1964.
The basilica of St.Paul was once the base of the Latin Patriarch of Alexandria: but this title was abolished in 1964.
The basilica of S.Mary Major was once the base of the Latin Patriarch of Antioch: but this title was abolished in 1964.
The basilica of S.Lawrence was once the base in Rome of the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem: but this assignation ended in 1847
So all of them are free ..(but the one of the pope :))

[quote=Alice] In Milan there is a an Orthodox Church that is active since 20 years, and for a long time has been the only one in the town serving the Slavic Orthodox. Here the link. [ digilander.libero.it] I've been a couple of times (without taking communion). The official name is "THE ORTHODOX AUTONOMOUS CHURCH OF WESTERN EUROPE AND AMERICAS". For sure it is not in Communion with Rome, but I've no idea of its relations with the Ecumenical Patriarchate. In examining the establishment of this jurisdiction, how its episcopate were consecrated and how they adhere to the canonical Faith & Order of Holy Orthodoxy one cannot deny the canonicity of the Milan Synod. If, however, one's only criteria of "canonicity" is who one is "in communion with" the Milan Synod and all traditional Orthodox Synods would reject as "cesaero-papism" and mainline Orthodoxy brush them off as "uncanonical" or "vagantes" http://stjohnskellion.wordpress.com/latest-posts/Respectfully in Christ Fr Symeon

Does anybody know the website for Saint Catherine's Russian Orthodox Church in Rome? I recall it was posted here in the past thread but have not been able to find it.
