Ecumenism

I'm glad that the channels are still open, but the Vespers at San Gregorio today, at which both the Holy Father and the Archbishop of Canterbury assisted, produced two homilies in which neither had anything to say to the other, except polite acknowledgments.
The Holy Father. (in Italian)
The Archbishop of Canterbury.
Though, perhaps, in both bishops preaching about the witness of the Camaldolesi Benedictines, rather than self-consciously preaching about 'ecumenism', maybe rather more solid foundations are being laid.
